Bad Day - Toyota Yaris Forums

RacerFreakXXX · 10-26-2008, 10:01 AM

Well I flipped my 240sx saturday morning. I was going around a right hand turn and my car went sideways. I was more worried about hitting somone or hitting the bank of leaves and trees to my right, the car is only 2" of the groung. Leave it to me to countersteer and somehow end up slammind up onto the bank at 30mph. The car bounced into the air and flipped over twice while doing a 180. They rushed me to the hospital, but i'm ok. Just bruising all over. I'll post pics of the car later, it was raining so they put it in a warehouse.

Glad you're still with us!

Ryu · 10-26-2008, 08:10 PM

Sorry to hear that, maybe you can invest a better tire next time for better wet handling and watch the speed at cornering.

Glad you are alright !!!!!

bobselectric · 10-26-2008, 08:21 PM

Back in the early 80's, I had an Opel GT and one morning the front end hydroplaned while making a right turn and I wound up hitting a Suburban head on. Thank God the car was engineered well and gave its life for mine. I know that hearing this over and over doesn't make the loss any less (I still miss that car), but be glad your ok and grieve, then start planning your next ride.

a dead 240sx makes jesus cry...they are tough to find (in good shape)...glad you're ok though. i lost control of an FD rx7 3yrs ago and now im hated with certain people lol..so i know your pain well.

ddongbap · 10-26-2008, 10:09 PM

Shit happens. I did something similar with my 03 Tiburon.

Benggolf2 · 10-26-2008, 11:07 PM

Sorry to hear abut your accident, but good to know that you are OK.

Yes, cars can always be replaced, but you can't. Take it easy especially when road conditions are less than ideal.
