Heres a link to a few pictures of my S13 coupe wreck. I highly suggest not to drive fast on roads your not familier with. http://www.elektrikcoma.com/1_bad_day/

Wonder if it's totalled

Is there a story, or was it simply just driving too fast on a road you didn't know too well?

Glad you made it out alive!

hope you're not hurt and if u are hope its minimal =/.

anyone with an accident like that it's most likely because of inexperience. we're lucky most kids prefer cars over motorcycles. or whenenever inexperienced racers get into an accident most likely it's life or lots of casts....

hope you're okay and be careful next time, learn the cars limits

Wait, so did you smash your car up on a track or on the street?

How many times did it roll? You're lucky to be alive, buddy.

Heres, the story....I was on my way to my dads house in TN, on a mountain road that Ive driven a few times over the years, HWY 321. I only had the car on the road a week, I just finished a SOHC to DOHC swap, polyurathane bushings throughout, and I swapped my AGX's/ Prokits from my other car. I plugged my secondary air induction on my header and it blew on the way, and I had to stop for a while to fix that leak. Because of that I was trying to make up time. I made it about 20 miles through the mountains basically pushing my car, which was feeling very neutral. I was getting a little over confident and this corner came up, and as i went through realized it got sharper and went a bit farther than i expected. As soon as I saw that i knew there was no way I would make it, so I scrubbed off as much speed as possible, then over steered into the ditch. We rolled a few times, unknown number of times...no witnesses. The car landed on its roof, and me and my freind got out ASAP. We both somehow walked out unhurt....besides the wallet. I don't know the exact speed of what I was running, but I do know that I wasnt shifting till I needed to and I was somewhere in 4th....so between 90-115mph. This was my third 240, and Im not a newbie. I have just always pushed the limits, but have since learned my lesson to keep it on the track.
