okay, tonight at about 1:15 this morning, i was driving around doing my deliveries.. and im crusisiing down a two lane road and i see flashing lights arpoaching me well it was the yellow lights of a tow truck, and behind the truck being drugg down the road on dollys was a twisted, mangled heap of beautiful shinny red sheet metal, as i closend the wreckage took the shape of what was, what used to be a cherry Dohc s13, it looked like it had just lost at a game of chicken with either a very big telephone pole, or a fully loaded semi at top speed... i have never in person seen a car that has sustained such horrible front end damage... the driver if he survive which is highly doubtfull.. will be cripled for life, almost all the impact was on the drivers side! the bumper and headlight assembly was in the fire wall and on the windshield, if the motor didnt drop out of the way it must be in the passengers seat.. the windshield was punched out prob a good foot and broken on the drivers side i hope who evr it was had on a seatbelt... i went back into my store and picked up another delivery and jetted to catch back up to it and get a better look, i did i found out the tow yard its going to.. and in the moring im going to get some pictures of this car.. the tow truck driver just kept looking at me and my car as i drove next to him starring at his cargo, i think i got why i was so interested .. i startd getting misty eyed in the presence of this casualty of the road.. i ran into that same tow truck2 more times tonight with the 240 still behind it.. i hope thats not some sort of odd sign ...

ill hopefully be aloud to photograph it in the moring.....

whoever it was must have really been moving. I mean I hit a guard rail nearly full on going 50mph+ and, although it was very extensive dmg (about 4 grand worth) the overall structure of the vehicle held incredibly well. Not even one piece of glass broke. I morn for the driver. :(

sad story man, hate to see people killed in a car accident, *MOST* of them are very aviodable.. Maybe the fact that it was an S13 was to show you(and us) that if we dont drive these cars responsibly, we could destroy what we work so hard on.. or worse yet.
