Default Kill and got killed BAD

hey Sept.1,2005 was the worst day of my life. I was cruising home it was about 10:50 pm. There was a an '04-'05 honda accord v6 that kept ******* with me i didnt bite 'til about 10 min. of drivin. He was about to perform a ricer fly-by on me when i stopped it and proceeded to whip his ***. It took me a little bit cause i had to match his speed, then pass him. I lost control hit the median and went off the road i hope my car is not totaled thanks 4 hearing me guys i'm so hurting rite now. Thanks 4 hearing me out guys.

if you didn't damage the frame, you'll be fine. what speed were you at you think when you hit it? and at what angle? I know that's kinda hard to remember during a crash....

I know the feeling. This weekend on a trip through houston some jackass hit my 5.0 (spent about 1 year and 10K modding/restoring it, at this point it had less than 5K miles on the entire drivetrain). BUT GET THIS, I WAS PROPERLY PARKED AT A DAMN GAS PUMP WHEN HE HIT IT!!!!! He got mad b/c i went in to pre-pay while he waited in front of me, when i came out and he saw i had not gotten gas he floored his truck and rammed his trailer into the front left corner of my car. the body shops i have taken it to say 1.5-2.5K to fix stuff. At least i got his insurance, etc. I feel your pain, getting the baby injured HURTS!

What caused you to lose control? Were you going too fast around a turn?

What road were you on? Was it rt 21? I'm just curious because I used to live near there and 21 had some funky road surfaces.
