drunk driver...
got hit by a drunk driver mon. night (9-17-07). was going 5-10 mph in the mountains, about to make a left hand turn. (25mph speed limit) early 90's toyota pick up comes around a curve doin aprox. 80mph, locks up his brakes and slams into me doing about 40-50mph. drunk as.s laughs when he gets out of his truck and wants to exchange info and leave. he ended up being arrested for his second DUI. sorry no pix, but the bumper was basically on the ground and the trunk was up against my rear window (somehow the window didnt break). dont know if he bent the frame or not, but i thought my car was going to look a lot worse! the ralliart has proven itself (at least in this situation) also, when he hit me i went off the road, almost into a tree that i miraculously avoided. both passengers in my car insist that it was avoided due to expert driving skill...but i dont even remember it happening
. any way...everyone is okay, just a sad day for my ralliart...thanks for reading my story. -Bandy

my damaged silver bullet
I cant believe this, this is the first time im posting here and this sucks. At 8:50 am today I was on my way to school standing proud and happy to be driving my RA.
I see that the left lane is closed due to construction and then I look through my rear view mirror and I see a civic trying to go from the left lane all the way to the right lane, I was in the middle lane and as soon as I see through my rear view mirror I see a silver civic coming to close and BAAM I take a hit from the back, we go off the side of the road and we get out I see my car and I am so mad
, I see the damage and It could have been worse but we were going at like 50. My right side of the rear bumper is all scratched and broke and my beautiful magnaflow performance exhaust is bent and hanging off to the right side of the car, he took a shot in his front bumper and his headlight is broken, his excuse was "OH MY GOD, THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN SELL THESE S**T CARS, THEY ARE SO OLD AND MY TIRES ARE ALL WORN OUT AND MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING LATELY". I totally agree with him on that one, those old model civic are garbage
, unless you change every single part in the car.
I dont know I called the cops they came took a report and of course it was his fault, I have to get an estimate today after school to see how much the repair would cost, im going to a nearby dealership. I posted some pics of my car and his, they are sort of bad quality because they are cell phone pictures, but be creative with them, also ill take any suggestions. And when I get my car repaired ill post some pictures, its beautiful especially at night.
RA's are the best
