Lol. nice first post.

Welcome to NICO!

Time to hit up craigslist or a junkyard. Please correct this mistake and learn to drive that piggy. Don't use crappy tires on 240's. they can use all the grip you can offer. I have hard all weather tires on my daily coupe. I easily get sideways in the rain because of poor wet traction.

Clean car, but dont be an idiot. Insurance not for you, but for whoever you may hit. And I can tell you that the telephone pole may cost up to 25000 to replace. But welcome and make sure you check out the stickies.

First of all yes i was driving irresponsibly. I hydroplaned uncontrollably. Posted for sympathy? you wish, sympathy isn't going to get my car fixed. and it was a speed limit pole by the way. they already fixed it too. working on getting insurance but i juss bought the car so im a lil broke. plus bills. I already took the front bumper off today. I'll post pictures soon since the ones i got were taken at night. Happy driving everyone, don't make the same mistake i did, and only drive crazy on a closed course

You know, I really hate it when people blame their worn out tires or the fact that 240s are RWD. I have owned two 240s, each of them I have driven at least 10k miles on near bald tires (dangerous, I know, but I was in a financial rut). The only time I have ever near crashed was when I was doing something extremely stupid. But for the rest of those 9999 miles I just drove safe and was never put into a situation where I was out of control or unable to stop in time. So simply put, just drive slower and safer.

Also... never drive without insurance... You make the rest of us responsible drivers without Uninsured Motorist Insurance scared...
