Bad Day! Bye Bye FD.....

[Rotarded1647545491]

Yesterday, I attended the funeral of a close friend who passed in his sleep the previous Sunday. I left Plain City, the site of the service, at 7:30pm, arriving home at 8:00pm.I immediately prepped the FD for a tuning session an awaited Tony’s call.

 

At 9:15pm Tony called, and I left the house. Pulling out of the housing development, I prepared to turn left from Galloway Road onto eastbound West Broad Street. I suddenly hear screeching tires and see a red Plymouth skidding around the corner and end up in my lane (the left turn lane), coming right at me. He hit me head on.

 

Fortunately a Franklin County Sherriff was in the intersection and witnessed the accident. He immediately pulled the driver from the vehicle, cuffed, and stuffed him. Just then, another driver pulls over and says that the Plymouth had hit another car down the street, by the Hospital, and had fled.

 

The driver was Hispanic, gave 3 different names to the sheriff, and was un-licensed and uninsured. CPD arrived and took jurisdiction. In chatting with the sheriff, he stated that the driver has a “skirmish” at a bar on W. Broad and brandished a Machete. He fled the bar, and subsequently caused 2 accidents, including mine.

 

CPD impounds the car and tells me to call to get mine towed. Meanwhile the driver has now pissed himself in the CPD car.

 

Almost 2 hours, and 4 phone calls later my tow truck arrives. CPD is already gone. As the tow driver is hooking my vehicle, a woman in a grey cavalier slides around the left side of the tow truck, IN THE GRASS, and skids directly at me. I do a heisman pose as I climb her bumper and onto her hood. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you”. It was a fucking flatbed tow truck with flashing yellow lights and his high beams on!

 

Needless to say, my FD is fucked. I’ll post pics sometime this weekend.

That sucks, but the car can be replaced and you are ok.

So sorry to hear Mike. And you did not even get to enjoy the car at it's full potential

[Balian]

Damm man..Owned by bad luck is one shitty way to be.. At least your okay. Time to get another car!

[NTHER91]

Mike,

I'm so sorry to hear about your car.... Thank God you are ok. A head on wrek is something that most people end up in the hospital for. Let me know if you need anything that myself or Eric could do.

[Jelloman4571647545499]

mike your 7 was the nicest I have ever seen, im truly sorry to hear that and I hope this doesnt stop you from building another car. Also I hope everything works out in your favor. It sucks ass too that the asshole didnt have insurance. It always happens that way to nice cars and people

[Buckeye1647545503]

Are you planning on buying it back from the insurance company?

 

That's also the second black FD that I know of in Cbus killed by another motorist this year, its rather sad.

[Farkas]

That really sucks man.. sorry to hear this happened. Atleast you're alright, you can always transfer the motor and all parts into another clean shell.

[Casper]

Glad you're okay dude. Really sorry to hear about that car.

[Rally Pat]

The FD3S is one of those cars that no matter what you do, it is pretty much impossible to make it look rice. I wish I could say I feel your pain, but only being a fan of the car and not an owner I cant.

 

I am sorry for your loss man.

[Alex1647545498]

So sad.

[suffocateXfaster1647545505]

The bad shit always seems to happen to the good people, just like everyone has said, a car can be replaced a person cannot. I know that shit may seem played out but it's so true. I hope something good comes out of this man, stay up.

[Skinner]

was such a cool car Mike. Glad I can say I got a ride in it (back when you had your twins). But yet After Autumn told me I shot down and saw the damage. It defenitly was not good.

[Nitrousbird]

Man, that sucks. Hope you have your insurance paid up, as I guarantee you'll never see a dime out of the hispanic guy that hit you.

 

Buddy of mine down in FL had a Mexican broad hit his Camaro. No insurance or license, imagine that, and in the end he got screwed while she basically got a slap on the wrist.

[302Powered]

Sorry to hear about your car, man. I'm glad you're ok.

[old dirty bastard]

Florida is a no fault State...

[launchin1st]

that sucks.

buy it back and bring it back, better.

[Bad]

So when do you want to tune? Next weekend? That enough time to build it back up again? Oh, you'll have to wait for the insurance adjustor. So probably rebuilt from the ground up by Friday I am guessing?

 

Get busy.

You act like you won't be helping or something.

 

Mike, I can only imagine how much this sucks. But lets get that thing, or something else, back together for you asap. You said your September sucks, so that means we have this month right? Like I told you, don't hesitate to let me know if you need ANYTHING.

[Dr. Pomade]

Mike, terrible news about the car, great news that you're okay. Your FD was immaculate - sad that some fuck-up had to ruin it. Let me know if you need anything.
