it is over already

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

Well, A full 2 months and 3 tickets later, it is over. All it took was bad weather, friends, a truck, and bad tires. It all begain when i wanted to suprise my little brother to bring him to the local 1/4 mile track to watch cars drag. When Mike, Mary, Craig, Terry, and I (all driving our own cars) got to the track, it was closed for the day due to the weather. So seening we all already drove the hour to get to West Palm we decited to goto City Place which is a outdoors mall. On the way to City Place the rain was gettin worse by the second. We all were traveling about 35mph on the highway. Mike was ahead in his Eclipes GT, Craig was behind Mike in his Civic, Mary was behind Craig in her parents car, Terry was beind Mary in his truck, and I was behind Terry in my 92 240sx. Somone in front of Mike Slamed their breaks, which caused us all to hit ours. Well it takes a split second of not looking to make things go bad, and that is what exactly happen. While everyone hit their breaks, Terry was doing something and did not see Mary stopping. Terry ran strait into the back of her and she bumped Craig and since it was heavily raining and you cannot see whats ahead except lights, Terry's breaklights never turned on until he was at a dead stop! And by that time it was too late, i Stomped on my breaks and slid directly into the back of terry's truck. It Totaled my car. Mary's trunk is crushed into the car, my whole front end is fvcked, Craig's Civic has a minor bumper dent, and Terry's truck is perfect! Everyone is OK, no one was hurt at all. My little brother was shaken up, he is only 12, i broke my finger cuz i punched a sign afterwards. Mike is the only one who got lucky and had nothing done...yet. Mike decided to help me out and give me a ride home after the tow truck comes, so on the way home Mike's fvcking tire blew! Talk about a good night! Anyways I was ticketed with Wreakless Driving, Terry was ticketed for the same. This all happen 6 hours ago! I suffer from depression and the day i bought that car was the day my mother seen me smile for the first time. That car is the only thing that make me happy. No matter how much problems that car gave me, i was happy. My mother even told me that my car changed me for the better. And now it is gone. The one thing that made me happy is gone. Why the f*** does this happen to me? Why does a good thing always hurt me in the end? I even tried being a good brother to my sibling who I dont get along with and take him out to a place of dreams. And I get in return my fvcking heart ripped out and my love taken from me? I know i dont know anything about cars, but that car ment the world to me. I would wash that car even when it was clean. My frist car, i worked for it and it made me proud even if it was not the best looking S13. This even hurts to write about my experience today, but i want to let it out. Its a reality, and it will never be in my driveway again for me to walk out to.

[daniel240]

man im very sorry to hear that. i would feel the exact same way you do if anything happened to my 240. are you sure its totaled? do you have full coverage on it? well if it is totaled then im sure you will find another 240, maybe a better one real soon. man that make me want to cry, reading your story. i hope it all works out for you man, i wish you luck.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

thank you, i dont have full coverage, its a 92 collension is not an option. and since the trooper gave me a ticket that makes me at fault too, leaving me with only my insurrence to pay for it and not Terry's, though I would not f*** up my friends insurrence over that. Im pretty sure its totaled, i bought it for 2.5k If its gunna cost me more that that, i will just buy a new one and part that one out

[Dano]

:Werd, thats a horrible story, im so sorry to hear about that, theres nothing u could have done by the sound of it either, is insurance going to repay u anything for it since it was totaled? if so, look for another S13, again, im so sorry to hear about that, but im really glad to hear that no1 was injured badly, except mayb that sign:pface j/k. but anyways, good luck to ya and hope everything turns around for the better!!!:)

[Dano]

Keep your head up man , eventually things will be better.

[krazy skwerel]

man sorry to hear bout you car, and its good that noone was hurt. hopefully you will get another it souns like you really cared for it and we need as many people like that owning 240's as possible.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

i feel like s*** guys. i joined this forum because of my car. it ment alot to me. I have to go to work tomarrow and get a ride from my mother like i use to do 3months ago. This really sucks. I hate doctors and I hate meds. I dont do either of them and I was fine when i bought my car. I was just like every other kid out there. And now Im back where I started. with nothing. Even if I do get a new 240 I will still not feel the same. I had a 5spd S13 240sx for my first car, i was lucky and now its gone. Oh i forgot to mention i forgot my wallet in my car when it was towed so im now prolly out another $150

[MainEvent212]

what do s13 shift knobs look like? what did you ahve on the car? i'd be happy to grab up some parts...anythin to help

my s14 looks like it's been in a horrible accident/theft...actually i'm just redoing it all hehe...it's embarassing when peopel are like...hey! i hear you got a nissan project car! can i see?

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

only one problem with gettin a new one, my parents did not want me to get a sports car for my frist car, but my mother trusted me to be good with it, i doubt they will allow me to buy another one, but i told her, no matter what car it was, it could not have been avoided. i hope they will see it my way and allow me to buy another one. It might be a 4banger but it still ran good.

[daniel240]

i cant believe you got a F**king wreckless driving ticket. especially after you just got into a wreck. its obvious that it wasnt anyones fault. i just got a wreckless driving ticket a couple months ago too, and it was for something stupid. i was mad as hell, but luckily the dropped it down to like a speeding ticket so all i had to pay was $30 for def. driveing. man that is so much bullsh*t. you had so much bad luck. your ticket will probably get taken down to a lower offense. because wreckless driving is like 8pts off your license and can be up to $500 or more in fines. but you wont get that. again man, im sorry about all that. it will all work out, you'll find another 240.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

sorry to double post but i want to let you guys see the car, so i will upload a pic of the wreak when i make one. my friend Dave collects pics of what his friends walk away from (weird fetish???) but anyways just to show you guys what broke my heart i will upload a pic later, its a damn shame i dont even have a pic of it from b4 the accident. and i always wanted to make one

[kami240sx]

i've been sitting here the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what to say. It really got to me when you were talking about cleaning it when it was clean cause I would clean mine twice a week and my bros would make fun of me for it. It pains me to hear that only suffering can come from happiness. Your car showed you that yeah, you can be happy and that life isn't absolute pain. So try not to forget your memories of your car by being mad and. . . look up somehow. *sigh* this is hard. I'm sorry if I offended you somehow; I felt like I should say something. . .

[daniel240]

:Werd

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

i know my life is not all pain, and you did not offend me in anyway, i posted my story only to share my pain so I can sleep tonight knowing that other people like me are out there and know what happen. Life is not all about pain, but it just kills me knowin that why the f*** does that car have to be the thing i lose. Why cant my computer that i work off of for a second job just crash and never reboot? Why did it have to be something that made me smile, i dont give a f*** who laughs at me for admiting this, but my *** still has tears in my eyes since i crashed it. Why did this s*** have to happen to my car? Why not to someone who don't car about theirs? I could not even tell you how to fix anything in a 92 240sx, but that dont mean anything to me, i still loved driving it and knowing that i have the power to push my head back into my seat, but treated it as if it was a girl, making sure there was no dirt on the paint and if there was, i would wash the whole car over until its prefect looking. Even though my pain job was bad. Then the towtrucker told me better breaking the car then bones, in a way its true, but i would have gladly droped a brick on my foot to keep that car. From where my computer is I can see where I always parked it, and i would look out the window and smile just cuz i knew that bad a5s red sports was mine and i earned it. but i look out that window as I type and nothing is parked there. And i know when i wake up tomarrow (if i even sleep) it wont be there again.

[Gregariousgreg]

That really sucks. I feel sorry for you. Make sure you take that wreckless driving ticket to court. If you talk anything like you write, it shouldn't be hard for you to at least get the ticket lowered if not dropped. You also might want to look into some medication for your depression if you haven't already. My grandfather is a manic-depressive so I know from seeing him how hard things can be, especially when something really bad happens to you. Remember, when you hit bottom, the only way you can go is back up.

[Holisticbeatz]

Strong words man. I don't get the wreckless driving ticket though. Kinda like pouring salt on an open wound I would say. The car gods weren't smiling on you that fateful evening. I suppose you could look at this way, this could be motivation to buy another S13. I know, I know, it won't be the same, you want your old red S13 back. But hey, I want to ƒuck the same girl I lost my virginity to, but I know there are better chiCs out there. Good luck buddy.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

i use to take prozac i hate medication it dont do nothing for you except make you vonurable for doctors to make you believe what they want you to think. I know I suffer from depression, but I live with it. I do not want help, i can do it myself. And i prefer to not talk about it online though you guys are my friends and family because we all share the interest of our wonderful nissans. But besides that, the ticket cant be droped seein i did hit him from the back.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

btw i wanna f*** the chick you lost your virginity too also she is a swearheart even still with a joke said, i still feel terrible, it prolly would have made me feel better if Terry's ugly truck got fvcked up too, but once again, the person who fvcked up gets the least done, i just got the s*** end of the stick

[fiznat]

damn man, thats awful... I'm really sorry-- for both you and the car...

s*** like that always seems to come in waves man... it seems so bad for awhile and then things will start to get better. I promise. fight that ticket, look for another s13, keep the splint on your finger, and realise that you are still in control enough to make things okay again.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

I am hoping my insurence contacts me soon to tell me if they will help me or not, im gettin agervated

[skydragoness]

my condolences on the loss of your s13. everyone here can agree that losing their car would be very disconcerting. i'd be devastated if i lost mine, it's pretty much been my 'getaway car' from everything that's been bringing me down. if i was in a ****ty mood i'd take a drive on one of the backroads near my house and it's enabled me to go out and meet other 240 owners and get into auto-crossing. luckily s13's aren't hard to come by, and you will be rolling again i'm sure. fight that assanine ticket, and save up some cash again i guess.

best of luck for the future

[slw240sx]

well keep your motor and buy a shell of a 240 you could have this car running again for around 500$ i know its not the same but hey its a 240..... i know how you feel. i own 2 of them one my first and one my turbo car.... well my turbo car died on me and im still fixing it ... and while at work my first and my emotionally attached 240 died on me and i dont know whats wrong. and its not worth the money to take it to fix ... so ill prob end up buyinh a supra .. where you from.. ill give you a good deal on a 90 240 its red... or if you just need body panels let me know ill make it cheap cheap... i have a 92 front end red all in good shape, but no bumper.. i have the Rad and i can even give you front Cross member and steering rack and what ever else you may need to fix it..

let us know whats up

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

I dont have a problem with parting it out just to know that my 240sx still lives in the streets roaring in all our cars, but it still will hurt. I am hoping that if insurance won't help me then my parents would consider allowing me to buy another one, i doubt it though, "its too fast jeff" "what happen last time you drove one of these" "Last time you bought a sports car you almost got hurt" thats the kinda s*** they will say. I hope they give me a chance seein this really was not avoidable. I will keep you guys updated on my 240 story oh and hey sky, the lil "SX" is totally true! when i got out to look at my life shattered on the highway i seen nothing but a car I could make a drink cooler out of.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

(sorry to dbl post again!) Im in Port St. Lucie, Florida. I donno if this is fixable, Well its fixible its just the matter of if it will be worth it. All i know is the BS towing company is charging me $20 a day to keep it there, I am about ready to cut the fences and break into my car to get my brand new OBX intake out of the trunk (in a box) oh s*** and i forgot that i have a fvcking speeding ticket in front seat and the towing place is kinda far... i miss my 240sx :'(

[I am Technoman]

My cryistal ball says you will get another 240 in the near future!;)

[nissanrcer240]

i just found out i need a new radiator, and i thought i was having a bad day until i read this post....sorry bout your car man

thats sounds good lol, good luck with whatever you do though

[s14kaibigan]

dude, sorry to hear about your loss. If your parent's will let ya, I'd say go ahead and have the tow company bring your car home so you can strip it down and sell the parts. That way you can make some cash to fund your new love. Lemme know what you've got to sell, and I'll see if anybody around here needs anything.

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

i was actually thinking seeing the whole front end is damaged, and hoping there is not too much engine work, i could just do a 240sx to S13 silvia convertion. Do I need anything from my orignal front? I need new fenders, hood, and front clip. Someone I talked to said seeing after the crash there was not fluids on the ground, i might be able to save the car. If it is gunna cost me over 2k to fix then imma part the car out. How much money do you guys think i could pull from this car? Just about everything except the front is in good condition. Its gunna cost me about 200 to the car home. Do you think i can make the money back from parting it out? thanks again for your help guys. Im still hurting inside :'(

[Oatmealman]

LOL,sorry to here it though
