Hey guys, when going for a cruise with friends and it' sub-32 degrees....puhlease drive the speed limits. I think this guy is okay, but I can't exactly say he was the smartest person inthe world for going up into the North Georgia mountains for somespirited driving when there is snow, salt and ice on the roads and it's 15 degrees out...

They should really make airbags only in hyper white. That way you don't think you bled all over the place after you are dazed if you are unfortunate enough to have your own airbag deploy. The driver's side looks pink. The passenger's side looks...bad.

Yikes. I kinda doubt he's ok judging by thoes pics. Cold weather does suck, my 'summer' tires don't like 15* weather, nothing like breakin them loose at 55mph

What was he doing with the top down? Or did it get torn off? And I dont think that the air bags are different colors, that looks like blood to me on the passenger side...

generalchaos

thats not blood on the passenger windshield, its way to thick. ad judging by the samll amount of plant we can see on it, id guess it was berries/poop/mud/etc.

ive seen cars that had people killed in them...and it dont look like that.

More info.
- The driver was not hurt....wow.
- That's good ole Georgia clay onthe windshield not blood.
- I was in that same area of the mountain yesterday but did not see it happen.

Basicly I asked a buddy of mine that just picked up an S2000 to go hit the mountain with me for some sight seeing because I saw it snowed up there this weekend......yes this is Georgia and snow is actually a novel spectacle to us Red-Necks....anyways. So I took the M3 up there, would have taken my Fiance's Maxima if she didn't have errands to run, as I didn't want to get road salt all over the M, as I was primarily going to drive around, look at the snow and maybe do some hiking.

Anyways when I got back my friend with the the new S2000 said "good thing I didn't go up there, because my club went up there as well and looked what happened". Anyhow I found the thread with the guy that flipped his car.

..includes his first hand account. What he didn't mention was the temperatire according to my M's computer was between 15 and 18 degrees there was a layer of salt ont he road and patches of snow and ice hither and yon in the shadows.

UNFAIR

that should buff right out..

yeah, unfortuneatly a lot of s2000 owners think they're the F1 gods of driving when they strap in. not all of us are that naive.

Ricer's get pissed when you say that to them. When I was on strike we had a Integra get rear ended by an F150....after it hit someone else, right in front of the line. So as the 3 guys are looking over the damage to the acura they look up and see about 10 of us staring at them. So I yelled over "That'll buff right out" well **** I though buddy was gonna come after me with a tire iron.

We all learn from our mistakes, and hopefully he learns from this. Atleast he's ok.

see that proves it honda's are ment to be driven by girls. rofl. should have had a 4X4 and that wouldn't have happened. i will not drive my car when it's susposta be ice or a good bit of rain. drive the old pos 4X4 wonder blazer. lol.

purerock105

yea soccer moms think their invinsible in the suvs, if theres snow or ice your gunna slide regardless if you got 4 wheels or 18 2 and 2 dont mix...he was just going too fast .

Zacs98Z

depends if you have a 4X4 with street tires or if you have some 33" super swampers . if you have some off road tires you will less likely to slide (not that you will not slide just less likely). another thing i was saying is that you should drive some POS that doesn't matter if you crash it if your gonna go out in the **** like that. my blazer is prob only worth about 500 bucks. lol. that's what it looks like but much more ragged than that and it's brown with gold at the bottom. sry.
