[SolPol]

[SolPol]

There's a bunch, I'll just keep going.

[Wren57]

[CD5Passion]

and people wonder why I'm deafly afraid of semis
I met this guy who owns a green cavalier who's trunk is twisted to hell because a semi ripped off his aluminum wing, it's a mess
I think the guy has a carbon fiber trunk lid on the way so it's all cool

[SolPol]

Last one.

[Zybach]

Ok enough pictures, story time.

[SolPol]

Sorry so many pics guys, had to share my pain.

I was to the left of this moron in a truck on a traffic circle.

I was staying left to get back on a highway and he was gonna take a righthand exit.

He is blocking my view of oncoming traffic, so when he starts to go, I start to go.

I quickly see that his cab is way left and I have no room, so I stop. I knew where the trailer was gonna be in relation to the cab, so I looked back over my right shoulder and all I saw was trailer coming straight at me.

The back left tandem wheel set on his trailer came up and over the back of my car.

Luckily I guess I steered to the left at the impact and he came off the right side right by the roof.

The scrape on the roof is from the metal reflector holder on the bottom side of the trailer.

Ended up rolling on the grass in the middle of the circle in complete shock.



And yes Highlander, I had painted it about a month and a half ago. That's what I get for painting it I guess.

This happened Tuesday of last week.

[SolPol]

So if anyone wants del Sol parts, now is the time.

[Grip72]

oh my god...dude i feel so bad for you, your car was just getting better and better and i know how happy you were abuot your new paint job..best of luck bro

[SolPol]

Thanks man. At least I hadn't gotten all the new suspension parts for it yet.

Also, I had the OEM spoiler and still hadn't gotten around to putting it back on after the paint job. Good thing, it would've been destroyed.

If I can't find another Sol, I will be selling that and many other parts.

Speaking of, anyone know any good deals on Sols? I'm looking for whatever shape, my engine is still good. The DOHC VTEC and only 114K on it.

[Racing Rice]

Dang man, that sucks bad.. Atleast your okay.. The tuna can didnt hold up to bad considering.

I guess you cant fit under the trailer of a Semi.. Damn them Fast and Furious movie makers. ;) :mad:

Seriously though.. Im glad it wasnt as bad as it could have been. Whats your next ride gonna be?

[SolPol]

It don't quite fit under there man. That scrape on the roof I think is from before the wheels went up and over. So maybe it would fit minus the reflectors.

I bought a cheap, high mileage Pathfinder earlier this week. Got it on the road. Still in great shape for 180K. Original clutch if you can believe that.

Looking for another Honda to drop the B16 into. Maybe a Rex or an old Civic hatch. Would prefer another Sol though.

If anyone can help me with that let me know. I'm willing to travel too.

I actually just got my check for everything about half an hour ago. Money is good. :yes:

[SolPol]

/\/\/\1000th post :yes: /\/\/\/\

What a great occasion for it.

Anyway, thanks guys for all the comments and good wishes. The pics are good stuff ey?

[ebpda9]

holy smoke. maybe you should send the pics to sony productions and sue their ass for making you believe a car can fit under a trailer. :o anyway sorry to hear that. i looked at my car and a trailer and my car is 1ft taller :paranoid: than it should be to fit under

[SolPol]

Yeah, I don't recommend checking to see while on the roads. ;)

[SolPol]

Thanks guys :yes:

[SolPol]

And girls :yes:

[pimpinprelude]

dude that sucks... but at least you are in one peice.. and not flat...

[SolPol]

Yes, very true. Hard to think like that when I come home to a crunched up Sol in the driveway everyday though.

Oh well, at least I got my check already :)

And Nonov, thanks for the link but it doesn't work :confused:

[Wren57]

how much u get from insurance?

[SolPol]

The car had 114K on it. They said it was worth $6505.75 (nice number huh).

The buyback was $500. So I got the $6005.75 plus towing and storage fees (which the insurance guy gave me like, $70 extra for) and $1000 for medical to avoid a lawsuit. I went to the ER later on the night of the accident, but I got insurance so it will only cost me $75.

Total of the check was like $7327.99 I think. Minus the $250 I had to pay to get the car out. I drove the damn thing home though. That's right, still drives. :)

[pbateson]

Damon,

I'm sorry about the bad wreck on your car.

Maybe the truck driver is idiot.

[SolPol]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate it.

The trucker was a complete shitkicker by the way. Definitely not the quickest dude out there.

Gonna start to pull the engine this weekend, should be fun.

[Wren57]

Holy geez, you came away with 7k+ AND the car... thats friggin awesome...

[SolPol]

Yeah, not so bad right. I'd still rather have my car though. I'm drivin' a Pathfinder and it's no Honda :rolleyes:

It's actually a pretty nice truck. I just miss the Sol.

[XsiIntegra]

ive got a 92 integra ls body i will sell you for 500, i pulled my b16 out because the ls tranny could not take it, and now we are building a eg6 with an itr motor, if you want the body give me a call

662-328-0365 ask for david

[Wren57]

yeah, but for 7k you can pick up another one, stick the rims on the new one, get a swap, part the wrecked sol out, and trick out the new one with that money... dude this is a GREAT thing!!!

[mylittlecivic]

Oh I know man, and the new one is gonna be pimp when I'm done, it just sucks I don't have it now. It's gonna be a lot of work, but it will be worth it. I'm gonna have the greatest sleeper car ever :cool:


And thanks lilcivic, I appreciate the love.

[Addict]

Damn that's nuts. At least you didn't get fugged up. And you got a hell of a break with that insurance money....:yes:

Guys, I'm starting to part this thing out, so lemme know, it's starting to go pretty quick.

[KwikR6]

That sucks dude
If you want another sol
Get another sol
don't settle.
Believe me, I have, and regretted it.

[SolPol]

I know, thank you. I don't know what to do, I'm about ready to say screw it and just get a bike or something.

[blind34_1]

about 4k will buy a del sol type S 1993 or 94, and then you drop your b16 in there..but hey, for 7k you could grab a new sol already with the engine in there.

Strip everything out of that car, just give the junkyard the shell. BTW: sent you a PM, and also two questions:
what condition are your seats in, what color
and how much do you want for them?

[SolPol]

The seats are red. Slight tear in driver seat bolster. Tiny cig burn from roommate in driver side seat.

Make an offer, my head is spinning with all the folks asking for parts. And the seats are a big one that's asked about too.

Also, your lights should ship tomorrow, got your money order the other day.

[nonovurbizniz]

hey did you want me to post your shiot on h-t classifieds for you?

[SolPol]

Yeah, if you could do that it would be awesome. They got pissed over there.

You can just list my email and AOL if you want. They are vicjdamone@hotmail.com and VicDamoneJrIII

Thanks a lot man, appreciate it.

[SolPol]

Thanks man, really appreciate it.

[GirlSolRacer]

The sol didn't do too bad, considering what it was up against. Although I've seen worse where a sol collided with a semi, and no one walked away. You're lucky.

By the way, have you gotten rid of your console yet? The middle section with the cig lighter? I don't need the lighter:) , just the console. Let me know.
Thanks

[SolPol]

I still got pretty much everything.
