    Yeah I bought one used with all the modding already done. Then got loose around an S turn and spun out into an embankment. Frame bent and that was the end of my fast and furious career

    One of the reasons I haven't rebuilt is because I can't find a good solid body to work with.


    Not really a big story. Yes I was sober as I just got off work. Was driving home on the 60 and went to turn on the 101 to go home from work. I was going fast but I've always taken that turn at the same speed for the last year or two. During the turn it began to wobble, then it shuddered, then I lost control of steering then it pulled really hard to the right and slammed into a freeway light pole. Took that bitch out and the car flipped 3 times head over heels. I didn't get knocked out but after it stopped the shift knob was in my hand and the shifter had snapped in half. It caught fire, I got out and started getting my sub and ampswhich was ejected over 75 feet from the crash (still have them and all still work) . A guy started to kick the hood off my car, I tried to fight him for kicking my car. Really wish I could apologize to him in person as I know he was trying to help. But still that was my car, don't kick it! Someone came up and put the fire out before the fire dept showed up but I don't really recall seeing him do it. By that time I was collecting my stereo parts limping around like a jack ass. Cops tried to arrest me but couldn't. Got a ticket in the mail later for "failure to control vehicle during an accident'. I fought it and won. Cop left me a nice voicemail after that. I sent that to his boss.

    Went to hospital. Had broken ribs, sternum, ankle (3 spots), torn ligament (ankle), and bruises all over.

    I always wear my seat belt. If I hadn't I wouldn't be here and that was the 3rd high speed roll over I've been in. It's the first one I was actually behind the wheel.

    @Aw9d go talk to Tang. I stopped by his shop about two months and he was talking about selling his CRX's (I think he said he has about 30).

    Good call. Though I really don't need another car. But I do remember him having at least 5 or 6 back in the day.

    I don't know why I didn't get a notification about your reply. Damn that thing was clean. I can't seem to find any pix of mine. Gotta check an old computer that's in storage, I am sure there's a few on there. I loved my crx. If Honda remade them, I'd buy one day one. I had high hopes when I saw the initial CRZ production photos. It's impossible to find a CRX today that doesn't have a tweaked frame or tons and tons of backyard mechanic fabrications to it. I found a crx that had like 15k miles on it on eBay a few years back. 100% stock and had been left in an auto storage unit in FL for the past 20 years while the owners were away in Europe and Africa doing peace corps work...or at least that's how the story was told. Can never trust eBay.

    Fox 10 talked about this place tonight. Gotta check it out. It's $14 for one night. I think it's $14 flat fee and no coin charge for the games. It reminds me of the arcade place on Mill Ave in the 90's. Gotta check it out.

    I'm fairly certain your "old" builds would still be more powerful than anything new I own.

    I'll sell you a PC real cheap. Everything works, needs an OS. Hard drives we can discuss as I have an array of them.
