really? i thought the coupe has more space..but oh...

well that's why they shouldve made it a two-seater.... so no one will dirty up my back seats or the floor mats....

By the looks of the pics it seems that it can be repaired easily. After all cars are just material posessions (great ones). I don't believe there be any frame damage on your car. The most important thing of all is that you are ok, cars can be replaced but another one of you is probably never gonna come by. Well i wish you best of luck HKC.

People have asked me to sell my car to them and i tell them hell no. When i found a dent in my hood i got mad and sad. It made me feel like i let my car down. Now I am going to repay my debt to my car by looking for a CF hood for my baby.

sorry to hear what happened HKC. i can very VERY much relate to wet-weather driving on crappy tires. used to have a set of dunlop sp sport 5000's. not bad in the dry. on the wet they sucked! plus having a blown right rear strut contributed to the 180 degree spin out i did around a yeild sign going about 25MPH!! (and it wasn't even raining then, the pavement was only slightly saturated)it got into a death wiggle. and the WORST thing you can ever do in a death wiggle (when the rear shimmies side to side) is to countersteer, which is what i did and the car spun round and hit the 2inch high cement median on this somewhat major road. luckily no one was in front or behind me when it happened. what you really want to do is hold the wheel straight, dead-on as much as you can and wait for the wiggle to even it self out.

all that incident did was scuff my tire up real bad and screw up my alignment. from then on i am careful as hell in the rain. and i also have new tires. BRIDGESTONE RE950's are the best rain/all season tires EVER. they're rotational/directional tires, with beefy tread--- i HIGHLY recommend them when you get a new set of tires HKC. they're pricey, but well worth it. you won't be disappointed.

your hit wasn't too bad though, you'd be up for an alignment, and some junkyard searching. fastbacks are more common so at least the body parts should be easier to find.

in the meantime. please be careful!

I'm 6' 3" and I've ridden in the back of an S14 on several occasions. I have to sit on one side, and put legs over to the other. . can't just sit in there normally.

yea..that sounds like just my situation. and i did hold the damn wheel, coz i think that was all i could think of to do, didnt brake or let off the gas though...but... still :(

hehe the junkyard... :D well me and this guy at the junkyard are like buddies...coz i used to go there every weekend, around the same time, and i have almost taken everything out of those fastbacks (good ones), so it's kinda hard to find anything good anymore, and other junkyards arent as cool as that guy coz they dont let me go find stuff myself.. so..

if you have a 4 seat problem in your 240, it can easily be fixed into a 2 seater with a roll cage, then you will have lots of room for stuff in the back!

Your are still going to get it way cheaper than me, and your going to pay them off by cooking. That's great!. And if you enjoy cooking that's even better it's like a win win situation.Tell them i will cook anything for a CF hood. hahaha

Yup they turn out good according to some people that tried eating my cooking. They were surprised i cooked it. they thought my mom had cooked it. I just like that fact that i don't have to depend on anybody else for food when i am alone. No, i am not gay. had to answer that just incase you asked. i just enjoy cooking.
