mattkshook Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 So, I just replaced my broken swaybar endlinks with some kartboy ones. And my roomate just replaced all 4 of his struts on his legacy. So we went for a drive, he in his, and me in mine. My back tires are shitty and are super playful in the wet, which it was today. We were driving one of our usual roads and I was following him. I lost traction in the rear, and despite my best, I still bit it. I managed (in a right handed corner) to point DIRECTLY towards a telephone pole, missing it, hitting a mailbox, doing a 360 in their shitty front yard, and my passenger front wheel hitting a concrete culvert. The dent from the mailbox is negligible, but here is the aftermath of the culvert (I did not take pictures of the scene - too dark and I got the **** out of dodge.) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/tweekshook/WP_000247.jpg Here is the wheel, took a nice chunk out of it - tire magically held air for the 4 mile ride home, nothing is fucked in suspension/steering other than alignment. (wheel bearing, control arm, tie rods (inner/outer)... Except for this. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/tweekshook/WP_000246.jpg Oh joy. And I cracked the bottom of my radiator. But I am alive, and the car has seen better days - good thing it already had a salvage title. And my friend is one hell of a welder. **** suspension geometry, as long as toe is good I'll be happy. Also, just realized I posted in 2nd gen, and mine is a 3rd gen. My roomates though, is a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattkshook Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Because of this, I am thankful Subaru is such a safe/stable vehicle. And despise that they spot weld the strut towers , although under normal usage they are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you fled the scene of an accident? Not cool.

mattkshook Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I did, I have a job that depends on a clean driving record, which I have had for 6 years. In the area I live in, you get and KEEP tickets for everything, nothing is dropped. And for this I would have gotten 6 Points for reckless driving, and 4 for too fast for conditions. Which means if I got pulled over at 2 over, and got a ticket, I would lose my license. No thank you. No one was hurt, mailboxes in that shitty neighborhood are hit every day by bats/bricks, and im not about to pay 400 dollars in tickets, and repairs on my car. And as far as the speed, I was doing about 50-55 when I started sliding, at point of contact I was probably doing between 25-35 laterally, although, I stopped almost immediately afterwards.

Yep... lack of accountability pretty much sums up the biggest problem this country faces. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSooby Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Damn this whole situation is f*cked up.. you should atleast drop off enough cash for them to fix up there mailbox... atleast that's what I'd do... this is why I stick to playing on gravel roads:) no houses for miles, no people to hurt, no cops, easier to get sideways, and your tires and rims are all dusty afterwards and it looks cool!

You sir are a sack of sh!t for not taking responsibility for the damage you created. You are a pussy for running from the scene. You are a moron for putting your job at risk. You are an asshole for putting the people of the community at risk. If your location was listed, I would have already forwarded this information to your local police department.

mr.hicksta Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 It's one thing to post about damage to your vehicle, but admitting to getting into a damage causing accident and FLEEING on a public forum? Not very smart IMO. Closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
