Did you go through a barbed wire fence? It kinda looks like barbed wire on the car. Sorry to hear about it man. I know I would seriously CRY if I ever totaled my Celi. Stay Strong.

it sucks to hear that Newbie. im being serious too in case some people dont believe me. my other topic was mainly about how some of the people in my area with a 6gc dont deserve them. and Raven, it really wasnt funny (if you were trying to be) about the rear disc brakes, and you definitly did not "OWN" mynzeyes.

So how did the accident happen, and were you wearing your seatbelt? Anyone else in the car?
And if you personally find the parts comment rude, I'm sorry. The rest of you, go take some Midol or something. -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

[right][snapback]290383[/snapback][/right] I gotta step in and say a couple things cuz some things just arent funny or called for. This is the internet, theres no way in hell anybody can tell if ur joking, especially if you say stuff like "i dont wanna be a vulture, but..." I read that and thought the same thing he did, and the other guy who asked for console or something. I personally dont think you were joking, and if you were, it was very distasteful. You cant justify it by saying you asked if he was ok first, thats not an excuse. It wasnt only you, so this is to everybody who asked bout parts, its just very displeasing to read that someone who has an accident of this caliber, and ppl are asking for parts. Thats not a joke, thats dead serious. Also, Raven, John's been around a long time, he was a moderator, calling him a stupid biatch, doesnt help things at all. -------------------- |

[right][snapback]290383[/snapback][/right] a) i'm not too stupid to notice. hense me editting the post. b) it wasn't a joke, it was only a joke because someone called you out on it. c) you can't declare someone owned on your own account. that's like laughing at your own joke. had no one said anything, you'd seriously be wanting parts. over half of the time that people say "i'm just kidding", they really aren't. if you really were kidding, there would have been a "jk" under there. and don't be so vain, and think you owned me, because the comment isn't only to you. unless you are "everyone else"? and i didn't say you didn't comment about him, but only worrying about what you can get is what's disrespectful. don't try to justify it, because if you were joking, no one knew it, not even Sam. and when he talks to me about how he's hurting, and how he's so irritated with the parts comments, and the PMs, i tend to defend my friend. so obviously YOU are too stupd to know that it was a generalized, you were just the example i could quote in the thread, seeing as how you had a post completely about parts. and there was no kidding statement. don't try to cover your ass. but i'm not turning this into a pissing match, because 1) it's my good friend's thread, and 2) i don't argue with koopa troopers. -John- -------------------- |

Some of you have no idea what I'm going through right now. So I'll explain a bit.
I was fine until Monday (today) morning when I went out to work. Taking my parents' minivan, the suspension is so soft on it, I was bouncing everywhere. Then I saw this white Celica. I usually see 2 Celicas per month, which was unusual I see this Celica. 3 minutes later, every car I saw was a Celica. It wasn't that every car was a Celica, I only actually saw two total. I got to work, I cried so much by the time I was done, I couldn't see what was in front of me. When I actually got to the machine to clock in, I was two minutes late. I went up to my manager, and told her I was going to take a day off penalty. Yes.. We get penalty for taking days off. Then I came home. When I came home, I couldn't stand my car being dirty, so I wiped some dirt off with my hands. By the time I was done, I only had the quarter of the fender done, but I had 12 cuts on my palm. The pain was nothing compared to the emotional distress I went through in couple days. Maybe after you can relate, I can talk about this. But as far as this community goes, I never had felt welcome here from beginning to right now. I only have made one friend it seems, and maybe it's because I'm new. Maybe, just maybe, this will give you a better understanding of what you'll go through if you lose something you dearly care about. I really hope it never happens to you though. It might be "just a car" for you, but for some people, it's more than that. This post has been edited by Newbie: May 23, 2005 - 11:51 AM |

Okay, first up, Sam. I'm sorry that I joked around about getting parts from your car. Yes, I was seriously joking (if you want I'll go to other forums and find posts where I did exactly the same thing because I always say that to try to lighten things up). I didn't realize how much the car meant to you while I do understand it. (People have literally kissed their cars goodbye when leaving them at my shop!). I'm really glad you're okay, and I hope that your car can be repaired. In fact, just for my mean comment I will personally do a 3SGTE swap for NO LABOR charge for you... or any other swap you want (don't even think about it asking for a 2JZGTE!!! LOL)
John, I'm sorry that I called you a stupid biatch and said you were owned. If I was in your place I would have done the same thing. I'll be more careful in the future. And like I said, I really was just trying to lighten the mood... like YOU said though, you have to be careful when talking over the internet because no one can see your face or hear your tone of voice! Now Sam, we're all dying to know: How Did the Accident Happen??? -Dr Tweak -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

I'm so sorry to hear about this, man. Back in December I got in my first car accident, and ended up totaling my car. I had a 2 feet deep hole in the rear driver's side right on the gas tank. It was my '96 Integra LS/VTEC swap with a turbo on it...I spent soo many hours on that thing and to have it all uined in ONE accident, ONE little mistake. I feel for you man, but glad to see you are well enough physically to post updates.
As for the emotional stress, I still to this day have nightmares about my accident. Every time I drive past that place, I shudder and have to look away. My accident was because I fell asleep while I was driving, went off the road and woke up just in time to tun sharply to the right. Had I not woken up, the guardrail would have went right through my windshield into my face, but because god was watching over me, I woke up to turn and live through the accident. Now, I can't even fall asleep in a car, and if anyone else is driving and they start to veer off to the side of the road, my heart jumps. I guess I am still feeling the pains 5 months later. As for the parts people, you should feel very bad (and I know raven does now, that is a very generous offer, I wish I could take it ![]() Thank god you're ok, newbie, and I know right now it isn't the first thought in your mind, but everything will turn out ok. If you had the car collision insured, you will receive a fair price on the car and can even negotiate the price if it seems too low. With that money, you can buy your new car (hopefully another 6gc as I would love to see you around ehre more) but if not, that's ok...be sure to visit us ![]() I love my celica even more than my integra, but that's just the way things turned out for me...I wish you the best luck in the future...I know what you're going through -------------------- Speeding is only Illegal...

![]() So as you can see, I have no idea what has happened. Keep in mind that I have taken this road many times before for the past 3 years. The road was asphalt, and I just plain didn't turn anymore on the road. I was fine until the apex of the road. If you could point out my mistake for me, I would appreciate it. Only thing I can think of is that I went up to the mountains on my car also (dirt road), and I hit a pot hole really hard on the front right wheel, and maybe I'm thinking, one of the steering components just gave out during the turn. You know our cars aren't the lightest thing in the world.. So I'm bit confused on it. I'll keep you guys updated on the car situation and insurance etc etc. So far the adjuster came and talked about it. Also, got a call from the towing company, and they'll tow the car. From talking to the adjuster for a bit, he says most likely not even the seats (answering the PM from earlier) aren't even salvageable. They have twisted also. My headlights are fine though. ![]() Edit(Add): Oh yeah, thanks for the offer Raven, but I think the only reason you offered, was because you knew that I wouldn't be able to fulfill it. Not saying you're a bad person, I'm sure you're happy dappy slappy like most people are, but making a promise that you know I (emphasize on I here) won't be able to take you up on, is just uncalled for. But thanks for the no labor offer on the 3SGTE. This post has been edited by Newbie: May 24, 2005 - 12:51 PM |

[right][snapback]290597[/snapback][/right] I'm so sorry- I can totally relate, when my celi was in an accident and i banged up the passingers fender and front bumper i was a mess. I sat out side on the road picking up peices of my side marker and crying like a fool. Even after when my blinker would go 2x faster because of the damgage i would start to cry. I'm also sorry that you don't feel welcome ![]() * Tina * -------------------- Buy my Celica $2,500 - http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76562&st=0
