Some dip **** decided to turn right in front of me while it was raining....
I think the GS won the fight though. I am a real life test dummy, these things are damn safe, for being a 98.


you should see the other guy...



everyone involved is okay, fortunately. The guy in the camaro's insurance is going to hate me though...

Nothing is worst than loosing your pride and joy because of someone else... Once your insurance claim is settled it'll be like leaving a girl that you didn't really want too... but then you get to upgrade =) Newer 2GS?

actually, I was lookin into a silver GS, kped, wanna sell?? ha.

I was heading south on the inside lane, he was heading north trying to turn into a neighborhood to the west. He drifted directly in front of us. No passenger in his car, fortunately, he would have been a goner. I will find out more on this mess thursday.

Btw, I bought brand new nitto invo tires for my 19's, EBC LS brake rotors/pads for the front and GS EBC rotors/pads as well as the stainless lines all around. I have the LS400 calipers, the sage RUCA's front and rear as well as a few other items that were purchased and have yet to be put on the car, was about to brakes next week

Oh man, some people are just in such a rush. Just waiting an extra second could have prevented this accident.

I'm really glad to hear you're okay.
