first night i made it to new mexico and stayed the night at some shitty hotel off the highway...
next morning i took off early
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/NMroadscenery.jpg
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/arizonaskreets.jpg

made it to oklahoma had to stop for gas at this loves gas station off of I40
biggest mistake of my life so far
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/okaccidentforgeico4.jpg
this asshat in the white truck decided to back out as im pulling into the spot rather than go straight backwards he cuts his wheel crossing the yellow line into my parking spot and running his driver side tire down my perfect condition passenger door...
i obviously freaked out told him not to move his car and called the cops

http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/OKaccidentforgeico5.jpg

cops show up take a police report and im back on my way...made it pretty far not really sure where but pretty far that night...
last gas stop for the night
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/MEMPHISgasstation.jpg

cars running amazing getting AWESOME gas mileage i averaged about 30mpg
next morning i wake up make it through TN all those states and find that i might make it to CT late tonight but itd be worth it...
i was 5 miles from MD in west virginia and decided to get gas...
second worst mistake of my life. while exiting the highway i have a deer run into me i hope out to find the driver fender and bumper lip mangled. im flustered and obv upset and decide itd be safe to asses the damage at the gas station. i roll up to the light see a green light in my turn lane and BOOM im hit by a subaru wagon going about 40mph right in my passenger wheel it spins me around and all i hear is her horn. i exit my vehicle to find this....
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident3.jpg
at this point i could care less about the womens condition and just want to see whats wrong with my car.
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident2.jpg
i see that and just crumble inside
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident1-1.jpg
cops come tow trucks come etc looks like my trip is over and only about 5 hours from home...
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident5.jpg

in this pic you can see the damage from the deer...
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident4.jpg

i get a hotel in the super 8 across the streeet which was soo sketchy called my insurance and reported the accident and called mybest friend pat to come with his truck and figured wed rent a uhaul trailer the next day and get the car home...
next day i wake up go to the tow yard and get reminded of my mistakes...
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident6.jpg
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/motevo/WVaccident7.jpg

needless to say it was a horrible trip. a lot on the car is still fine and i will be parting it out and never looking back. if you ever need to decide on the drive or ship to get across the country trust me in the long run shipping will be muuuuuch cheaper...
shameless plug:if you are interested in ANYTHING on the car and i mean anything PM me and make me an offer ill be making a for sale thread on here as well

ill leave you all with this to remember her by...haha:facepalm:

[MYN1SMO]

wow dude im sorry about what happened. that was a clean ass car you built. when it rains it pours man

[randyjordan]

wow

that sucks

[R33E8]

well damn.. eh.. i'll take the grill..:ughd:

[Flicktitty]

UGH! dude that is unreal. I loved your S14.

sucks man, good luck with the partout.

[95KA-Turbo]

You could get insurance money right? Why not get two new fenders, front bumper, a passenger door, and get the rear pulled out and get it resprayed? Obviously you'd have to replace your steering rack and RH suspension pieces, did anything else get jacked in the wreck?

Sucks to see this happen, its awesome you made it across the whole country without running into weather issues though. I secretly want to drive my S14 across the country, but I'd probably want to turn around once I got a few hours out of town, haha.

[ilia]

I once parted a car out that had some damage, and have regretted it for years since. Your car is completely repairable. You should 100% fix it.

[delado]

:wtc::wtc::wtc::sadwavey:

[mot]

the strut tower is actually pushed about 3 inches def not worth the fix....:(

[240sxdd]

Man sorry for all that shit you went through. Sounds like a mess id get myself into.

[mot]

craziest part through basically all (three) accidents the hood is fine...

[!Zar!]

Why the fuck did you remove your windshield wipers, mirrors, heater, and A/C?

Removing two of those four things are illegal.

Better hope the ladies insurance doesn't play off of that and deem your car unsafe for the road, resulting in the other party's favor.

[ka24debt]

saw this on s chassis owners a few hours ago. sorry for the loss man

[whitenoise]

sorry for ur loss man, as long as ur not hurt physically. hope things work out for u .

[Matej]

Thought this was going to be about how your car kept breaking down.

[tricky_ab]

Man, I'd play the lotto because after all that, your luck HAS to change...

[mot]

Why the fuck did you remove your windshield wipers, mirrors, heater, and A/C?

Removing two of those four things are illegal.


oh god dont want to break the law...and thats not true the only illegal thing is the wipers in CT, to remove.... the mirrors are not illegal to remove as long as i have the rear view told to me by the inspection POLICE officer in ct during inspection

[mot]

Thought this was going to be about how your car kept breaking down.


haha yeah after all this...i wish it broke down...id rather the motor exploded then all of this

[tricky_ab]

oh god dont want to break the law...and thats not true the only illegal thing is the wipers in CT to remove the mirrors are not illegal to remove as long as i have the rear view told to me by the inspection POLICE officer in ct during inspection

Um actually...you know what, nevermind...

Yeah seriously. Posting about it online won't help your case either in case they find it somehow.

[Tom25666]

damn man. so you got hit by two vehicles and one animal on the same trip? she was a beauty; i shall shed a tear in her honor

[Drift_86]

Man I feel yeah, it seem to me like every 240 got some bad luck

[driftNWC]

yes that lady's insurance company will def do anything and everything in their power to try to fuck you out of book value of a 98 nissan 240sx. you guys are fucking dumb.

[FaLKoN240]

Yeah seriously. Posting about it online won't help your case either in case they find it somehow.

It's quite obvious the OP is way smarter than us.

[mot]

ok guys the mirrors etc are not important the cars totaled now so dont even worry about that jesus

[mot]

Yeah seriously. Posting about it online won't help your case either in case they find it somehow.


haha guys the car has been looked at by the insurance people everything is fine they dont give a bakers fuck about the mirrors trust me

[lewisfk]

What's up with your brake setup?

[mot]

What's up with your brake setup?


literally everything is for sale...just pm me

[pacotaco345]

Damnnn :( I'm sorry to hear about all that man.. it was such a clean car too.

[Shadowhunter]

That is one of the shittiest sets of circumstances I have seen in a while. Get another and build it up. Good Luck.

[2slow2go]

damn condolenseces bro

[codyace]

I like how the internet cool guys are quick to jump on you about things so irrelevent to it all. Think of all the cars that crash up that have illegal tint, or illegal wheels, or bald tires, or etc etc stuff that end up not making a lick of difference. Then again, it's Zilvia...land of intenret lawyers and grad students.

Sucks man. Hope insurance works out in your favor with it all. Awesome story, crappy outcome.

[!Zar!]

I would have made fun of him for those choices totaled car or not broham.

Equal opportunity.

haha i know right funny thing is they act like there wasnt a cop at the accident and the insurance appraiser/inspecter ignored the illegal things going on as well.

[mot]

I would have made fun of him for those choices totaled car or not broham.

Equal opportunity.


yes because my car looking so good is def grounds for "making fun of me"
youre cool

[!Zar!]

I made fun of your bad decisions

Your car looks cool.

Wouldn't rock the wheels, but it's cool none the less.

[mot]

I made fun of your bad decisions

Your car looks cool.

Wouldn't rock the wheels, but it's cool none the less.


the wheels were just temporary to figure out fitment/save up for some real wheels plus if i ever did any events id want to use the cheap ones...thank god too because the front passenger wheel took most of the hit in the accident

[ILoveMyRHS13]

God damn you fuck heads will fight about anything.

[!Zar!]

Time to rack up that insurance money and ball out.
http://angrywhitedude.com/wp-content/uploads2/2011/05/obama-make-it-rain.gif

Hit me up with a price for that steering wheel though. I might be interested.

[s13fay92]

damn, sorry to see this, hope everything goes well with the insurance and what not

[rb20240sx]

Damn koukis are cursed there always getting hit. You're car was beautiful man sucks you have to part it out but if the damage is that extensive I guess you have to.

[BOROSUN]

yeah, fuck that car is cursed.

[mot]

i will probably be leaving the 240 world after this...

[joshchewuhh]

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!!!!!

</3

[tqstarburst]

God damn, i wouldn't know how to feel looking at her current state.

You're a strong man.

[bunny13]

Man what a shame. You have a pm

[rowdogg03]

Yoooo Tommy.. It's Rowdy, saw your shit on Fb.. I poured some liquor for that.. RIP

Upgrade? FD!

[negrosx13]

This has me alittle afriad,cause i have to drive from NYC to HOUSTON soon:2f2f:.. Good thing you're ok,bad story about the car.

[JSimpson]

god damn man you have to be the unluckiest person on the earth. that car was beautiful. given its a 98 original 5 speed it might be worth fixing... they didn't make a whole lot of those...

and maybe its the direction of the trip causing the poor kouki luck, I made a very similar one but east to west and had zero incidents:/

[2legit2quitt]

RIP.. sick car man i hope the partout goes good for you

[wonpoo]

insurance money+partout money=BALLIN OUTTA CONTROL!

[MADE]

i will probably be leaving the 240 world after this...


You have a outlook most should have. I'm glad to see you realize what you lost can be replaced or recoup'd and are moving on. That last accident could have played out way worse.

[Cake Is Dope]

It may not seem like it now but, everything happens for a reason.Look at the bright side, you're still in good health.Good luck with the part out hope you can benefit from it.Read OB's thread it may comfort you, R.I.P clean ass kouki :cry:

[RB180sxChris]

Damn dude that fucking sucks =(

[spartanmisfit]

Really sorry about your situation dude. Thats a frickin nightmare.
That being said, thank you. Im taking a road trip to San Diego in June from Michigan. Ive been debating taking my newly rebuilt s13. I know i shouldnt take it but its sooo hard to resist taking my car to San Diego.
After reading your story ive officially decided im deffinetly going to be renting a car for the trip. Good luck on the partout.

[axiomatik]

Frame could be straightened. With insurance checks coming from 2 different incidents, you could probably get it covered between the 2. '98 are extremely rare. Please don't part out.

[Om1kron]

It's a shame really, car had some potential. I own the black kouki with the vertex kit and red wheels, I saw your car when I rolled in for the Society Show (sardine can carshow btw). Sorry to hear about your misfortune dude driving a modded car long distance is hella sketch especially with how performance oriented the car was (solid bushings and welded diff) those probably make the thing a handful in less favorable conditions.

[EDT007]

Sucks about the car..hope you rebuild. At least you came out of the accident ok.

[OBEEWON]

We might be related.

[Darren]

We might be related.

I thought you were a one off lol

[lflkajfj12123]

Am I the only one who couldn't stop laughing while reading this? lol

[driftsucky]

probably. lol. Just saw this on FB. I'm pretty sure no one has worse luck than you.

[shiftdrift]

Sucks man. Clean car. I messaged you on facebook, i'll pm you.v

[Om1kron]

Frame could be straightened. With insurance checks coming from 2 different incidents, you could probably get it covered between the 2. '98 are extremely rare. Please don't part out.

So he should keep a salvage title car that will be impossible to recoup any money on after deciding to stick with it. It's not a dream car people want to grow old with. I seriously doubt I'll still have my car 10 years from now.

[OBEEWON]

I thought you were a one off lol

LOL, I must have kin I don't know about.

[Darren]

LOL, I must have kin I don't know about.

bad things always seem to happen to good people

[CamryOnBronze]

Wow, brutal man.

[ManoNegra]

Am I the only one who couldn't stop laughing while reading this? lol

ouch
hey Max, you ever get that tranny figured out?
been waiting for updates man

[Memberofthe600hpkaclub]

Uhh trade you a kouki shell for the full swap? 5lug 5sp.. z32 rear brake r33 cables solid subframe bushings....just throwing that out there lol

[Mishkin_707]

Isn't that a lil redundant? ^^ he needs a shell for the motor and you need a motor for the shell....lol joking, he can use the insurance cash to buy another swap

[lflkajfj12123]

ouch
hey Max, you ever get that tranny figured out?
been waiting for updates man

Hahaha hey you gotta at least be able to laugh it off its just a car in the end... plus driving any car across the country is a bad idea let alone a 240 with no side-view mirrors lol

I haven't touched the tranny stuff yet because I'm contemplating swapping in a S14 SR instead of buying a 400 dollar clutch for a ka thats worth about the same price (I know I'll have to buy a clutch for the SR too but whatever haha). Will handle it all next monthish

[mot]

haha i have a 400mm broadway mirror side mirrors would have just been redundant. i could literally see 180 degrees. and the car looks 1000x better without them i still think its funny that you people act as if thats the issue or something.

[lflkajfj12123]

I see didn't know that. I depend on my side mirrors a lot because my rear window is blocked by stickers. Still though driving a 240 for any longer than a couple hours sucks ass... plus you're lucky to not be injured in that accident look at the bright side :) 240's are replaceable

[tricky_ab]

End the end that's what really matters. OP could have been hurt along with his car being written off...

[GSXRJJordan]

Saw the post on S-chassis Facebook page, had no idea the car was this well put together. Sorry to hear.

This has to be the absolute nicest post Wayne's ever made. That's special.

Dude you are crazy, a '98 kouki will be rolling across a barrett jackson auction in 30 years for $50k and you will be kicking yourself in the ass... They made less than 1200 '98 koukis and god knows how many have died from rust and shit like this... let alone it was an original 5 speed... that car was extremely rare and cannot be replaced without a nice hunk of cash.

Our generation loves these with nice swaps, FD's, EVOs, STIs... etc not so much the abundant camaros and mustangs... when were old we will want one again just like all our dads want their '67 shelby or '70 440 charger they sold for $4k back in the 70s

[mot]

i agree and disagree ive had a lot of cool cars when im 50 i dont think the S chassis will be one im like dang i miss my 240. fd rx7 will always hold a place in my heart as well as the over produced evo. honestly my main love for this car was in the color which is infact rare and when im 50 if i happen to find a moss silver 98 manual 240 for under 20k$ ill probably buy it but 50k isnt going to happen

[silviaguy240]

I want to know how you were going to make it from the MD/VA border to CT in 5 hours.

[mot]

WV/MD border to ct in 5 hours and 20 minutes according to gps...took us 6 with the truck and trailer...so it was def doable

[!Zar!]

I'll pay you the insurance, 'buy it back' price for your car, if you decide you don't want to keep it.

[mot]

haha zar sure they gave me 6900$ for the car today buy back is 550$ you can have whats left of it no problem

atleast we know varrstoens are strong replicas

[mot]

i mean im not sticking up for them or anything but that wheel took the most of the hit and isnt in bad shape haha any volk work etc would be ruined maybe not as bad as that wheel but still ruined

[muffler]

ive seen this car in person..shit man did not think the trip could be that bad, then i opened the thread..seeing that just made me cringe inside man,car is a work of art bro sorry for your loss :(

[niteridaz503]

Sorry to hear about your loss, cars def not repairable & since it seems like the insurance paid you already does that mean your not parting it out anymore?

[lflkajfj12123]

he can buy it back from insurance and part it out

[killer skittle]

No side view mirrors???

[shiftdrift]

No side view mirrors???

Read the thread

[killer skittle]

I read it. Where did you get the blank mirror plates?

[mot]

i made them...theyre for sale with the custom mirror switch blank they look oem my buddy does amazing work...

[mot]

and the car is still going to be parted i bought it back from insurance for 550$

[JSimpson]

man people do tubular front setups all the time. back that sh!t at the firewall and go tubes all the way forward like a boss

[mot]

haha im a freakk if the car isnt perfect i want nothing to do with it

[sterlinge]

I would keep that car! Is the strut tower really pushed in? The fender still lines up with your hood perfect. If it is I would think the frame shop could have that straight in no time. Yourcrazybro ...

[n8RPS13]

Ughhh thats a terrible story man! You made me think twice about driving my S13 back to Fl this June though.....Probably going to ship or trailer it.

[fckillerbee]

fuck man...you should play the lotto.

bound to get some good luck.

[mot]

haha ill play the lotto and let you all know how i do...so just an update insurance gave me 6900$ for the car minus 550$ for buy back and 250$ deductable so i walked away with 6100$ HOWEVER the first door incident being the other guys fault is still going and that was appraised at 1400$ so ill be getting an extra 1400$ ill end up walking away with 7500$ and whatever im able to part the car out for...

[killer skittle]

Who do you have for insurance? And how do you have it listed? If my car got totaled (s14 with over 10k under the hood), I would get like 2gs

[RoXiE.S14]

I read this entire thread, picture by picture, and I just can't believe your trip played out this way. Really sucks to see this man, hope you end up building another s14 and NOT driving it cross country!

[spartanmisfit]

haha ill play the lotto and let you all know how i do...so just an update insurance gave me 6900$ for the car minus 550$ for buy back and 250$ deductable so i walked away with 6100$ HOWEVER the first door incident being the other guys fault is still going and that was appraised at 1400$ so ill be getting an extra 1400$ ill end up walking away with 7500$ and whatever im able to part the car out for...

Sounds like you made out pretty well then. Still too bad. Hate seing a beautiful car especially that year get wrecked or parted out

[mot]

yeah its sad ive been tearing it apart all day and selling little dumb shit off of it...damn scavenger 240 guys haha but at least some of you can have a little part of my car to live on

[enot767]

wow, im speechless man. thats horrible luck! 3 accidents in just a few days. that shell was SO CLEAN!

reminds me of my car when i got it, absolutely mint. then the day of a meet, someone leaned on it and caved the rear 1/4 that had a fender pull. :( not of extreme of course but i know the feeling

what are your plans now?

[mot]

im picking up an fd rx7

[Sumslapper]

Dammmmn dude I remember seeing this in the kouki thread an thinking it was really nice. Sorry for your loss, what a terrible experience. pm me how much you want for the front lip if your parting it

[Corbic]

haha ill play the lotto and let you all know how i do...so just an update insurance gave me 6900$ for the car minus 550$ for buy back and 250$ deductable so i walked away with 6100$ HOWEVER the first door incident being the other guys fault is still going and that was appraised at 1400$ so ill be getting an extra 1400$ ill end up walking away with 7500$ and whatever im able to part the car out for...

So you ran a light and that is why you got hit?

[shiftdrift]

It says green light for him

[Riq]

Good god, seeing your car destroyed made my heart hurt. Atleast you got money, i'm sorry for your loss.

[sash_ak21]

Wow terrible luck, so this is what led you to selling that beautiful engine.

[mot]

yes sir my bad luck will make someones good luck

[Shift n Drift]

damn bro, i hate seeing s-chassis's getting wiped off the planet, sorry for your struggle

[EsChassisLove]

I have mad respect for your self control dude.

If I was in your shoes, after getting hit by the deer my head would have boiled and blown the fuck up.

THEN getting hit by that dumb female? I would be in jail for murder right now.

[BC S14]

This car is the screen saver on my phone! How the hell did you not murder anyone? you've got some self control man.

[lflkajfj12123]

who the fuck gets angry over cars

y'all need to get over yourselves

[mot]

well soapgun idk about you but i put a lot of money into my car and ontop of the money i put about 3 months of my time doing dumb things like lengthining chassis harnesses etc i built this car myself and now all that time is lost ontop of a rare 98 and now more time parting it out is going to be lost.so i think its a legitimate thing to be angry about if you dont get angry you dont have enough love for what you do and you should bow out...if you have someone else work on your car then thats why you dont get angry bc at the end of the day its just money lost and you will never understand why us people dont get "over ourselves"
also if you drive just a pile of shit drift missle of course you woudlnt get mad but my car was actually nice and almost cant be replaced...def not in a timely manner. find me a 98 manual moss silver 240 for under 8k$ in the condition mine was in within 10 hours driving distance to me.
you need to get over yourself

[lflkajfj12123]

my car is nicer than yours and i do my own work

get over yourself

i've also crashed cars i've put time and money into who gives a fuck though

you buy another one and suck it up if cars make you angry then you shouldn't own one

if its not the car part and its the money thing then maybe you shouldn't be spending so much valuable cheese on a car

its like i laugh when i see a high end sports car driver crash the car and get really upset about it... its like if you have the money to own the thing then it shouldn't be a problem and if you don't have the money then you were living outside of your means which is STUPID.

also your 98 kouki is not a testarossa the rare card is bullshit

[omgRWDgoodness!]

It says green light for him


Well he said HIS insurance paid for it. I was just curious to how it played out.

[Zenki_516]

Too lazy to read whatever BS argument is already going on here, but its such a shame to part that car out. How many Silver Moss Koukis are actually left? Get your insurance money then sell the shell for someone to save!!!

Really?

You're such a toolshed I can;t even bring myself to laugh over it. Instead I feel bad for you, and I am embarrassed FOR you.

Back to Home Depot little boy. They make sheds for you with little shelves to hang yourself on.

I lol'd so true

If someone hit my car? No. I would be pissed, then collect insurance, buy the car back, and keep going with the profit I just made.

Now if I got hit, then hit again a day later then hit AGAIN 5 minutes later, my lid and patience would blow.

worst story i ever read it makes me angry i wanna go stab both people that hit you

i see you pointed out the irony.cc in my post but if you were to understand it in reference to its context then maybe you wouldn't seem like such an idiot

point is a lot of people on this forum have loads of money into their cars and i don't see any reason why some one would say they would murder someone for hitting their car or some dumb shit. you chose to drive it on the street jackass

My SR S14 got hit by an 80 year old man with dementia at 11pm. Yeah I was mad, but guess what, life goes on.
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m625/landrover2011/DSC00562.jpg

Point of this whole argument is, if you really would do someone bodily harm over an inanimate object, you are a terrible person and don't deserve the privelage of having a car (or whatever else). If no one got hurt, then get over it.

And if some of these people haven't lost a car, wtf are they arguing for?

People are more important than things. Always.

[EsChassisLove]

I hit a tree once. Then I tore it down and burned it.

I'm a murderer.

its whatever guys soapgun your car being "nicer "than mine doesnt bother me one bit and i never said i wanted to hurt anyone i just said i was angry at the situation. this forum is full of clowns..i will not miss the 240 world thats for sure. to everyone who had something nice to say thank you to anyone who had to brag over the internet about how nice their car is and how much self control you have etc move along

There were only 1000 more kouki S14s made then testarossa, and something tells me a lot more kouki s14s have been wrecked. They're probably just as rare.

sorry to hear about your bad luck bro, i was on a trip from CT to NC back in July and got cut off by a bus on the MD/DC border...my S14 still isn't back to 100% :(

just stay positive and be happy it was only the car that was damaged, you'll come back with something even better!

Only 7,177 Testarossas built - for world wide sale.

[mot]

my tires were 245 40 18 rear 235 40 18 fronts but the first set up seen in some of the pics were 265 35 18 rear 245 40 18 front

There were only about 1000 '98 S14s, probably less than 100 Silver Moss.

Busted fool.

From Hemmings In the US ALONE, 2,178 1998 240sx were sold. 1997 ~ 4,000.


Ferrari sold those 7,000 Testarossas over 12 years, world wide.

More importantly Ferrari was able to get some 7000 people to buy a $330,000 car in today's money - on a wait lest of all things.

Nissan struggled to convince 6,000 to part ways with $28,000 in today's coin.

1) You do realize he's talking about a 98' not a 97! They made less that year not to mention the color combo brings it down fewer. (1998 - 1024 according to wikipedia)

2) We're not comparing prices so trying to compare a Ferrari to a nissan is just retarded.

3) The definition of Rare- not widely distributed; not generally occurring: So regardless of what some of you think that car (year and color) makes it rare!

Get your facts right before you start talking sh*t on the internet. SMH..everyone wants to be an e-thug.

1)Yes, I said 98, re-read my post, 2,178 sold.

2) the pool of buyers with $330,000 for a sports car is much smaller than the pool of buyers with $28,000 for a sports car. That was my only point.

3) Its a 240sx, its not really rare, buy a 95 and swap the front end. I'm just messing around anyways seeing someone said its "rarer then a Testarossa"

[lflkajfj12123]

whats the number for koukis made worldwide?

[Drifting-pedobear]

WAIT.

ARE WE ACTUALLY COMPARING A TESTAROSSA TO 240SX?

is this real life?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Wow, you guys really arguing over this shit?!?!

I feel bad for the OP, I've made this coast to coast drive atleast 2x already. It sucked enough driving that far but getting into an accident on the way would make it worst. If i was in your situation and I was Psychic enough to know ahead of time, it would have been cheaper to ship the car and just fly to CT.

Actually you said 97', you shoud re-read your post but let me digress. To the OP, sucks about the car but glad to hear that at least you got decent $ for it.

[95KA-Turbo]

I thought the troll face I left at the end of my post made it evident I was being facetious.

lol @ peasants trying to make their peasantmobiles sound lux.

Rare are not easily found on craigslist after less than 5 minute of effort, and for prices that rival a used Hyundai.

Listen up, you dumb shit. It's called punctuation. Use it! If one was to quickly read your dumb statement it would just look like you misplaced a comma and left one out and that you were trying to state there were X amount of 240's made. Let's stop cluttering this thread with unnecessary bullshit. /end.

I saw this thread several times but never read. Didnt think it wud be this bad. Sorry for the lost.

Soapgun, you are an asshole.

No matter what the circumstance, unless he deserved it, you don't come in here and say shit like that to someone who just lost their car like that. That goes for all the other smart comments that were made.

How pathetic. I quick read his post the first time and completely understood it. Don't turn into a grammar Nazi because you are a dumb fuck who can't read simple English after it has been reiterated twice.

Thats horrible. Worst road trip ever.

Sorry to hear dude. I've done a few trips from S. Florida to MD in my SC. I could never imagine how you feel after a shitty trip like that.

Damn, thought I had it bad when my driveshaft exploded in the middle of nowhere on 95 in Florida. Can't get over the deer followed by the Subaru, thats just shitty.

You would say something but theres nothing you can come back with so you resort to someone else's FL joke. Oh boy, we're dealing with a badass up in here

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Maybe If you had some type of mirror you could have seen some of these events happening?

[Trap Star]

He did have a mirror. READ.

I got hit by a deer a couple months ago, there's not much you can do to avoid an animal charging into the side of your car.

Having mirrors doesn't do shit if someone hits your car while its parked.

Mirrors aren't going to do much to prevent someone from running a red light and hitting you.

Point is, mirrors were not the issue here. Just plain bad luck.

[EDT007]

Listen up internet thug, I don't have to resort to anything but your stupidity and the fact that you're starting sh*t when it had nothing to do with you. Either go listen to O-town or whatever it is you do or take it to PM if you would like to continue to flex your internet muscles. Stop trying to build your post count by writing garbage.

haha ill quote this fucking tool. during packaging the turbo was damaged i texted this guy to tell him (not my fault i had ups package it and the old ass lady with frail arms dropped it and cracked where the wastegate actuator attaches i instantly text him and tell him she dropped it on a concrete floor and i was going to go check the damage i got there it was broken the store is refunding me for the turbo and i refunded this clown instantly and hes mad at me? i tried to take pics with my phone but you cant see the crack and the ups store keeps the broken shit for whatever reason. this guy is a baby im not a bad seller at all i guess i should have shipped it to him broken and said good luck rather than refunding him. what a *snip*
