Hey guys,
I know I really don’t post here much, but I did want to let you guys know of an unfortunate incident I had last Saturday…
My car, though rusty as a hell went from this:
To this:
We were just coming home from Standard Auto Wreckers and took 5th Concession, hoping to get off at Westney and go home.
I was driving at around 60-65 km/h, the road was wet and dry, somewhat patchy, at the same time, very unmaintained. It was very bumpy. Going down the hill, I turned right and the rear end of the car bounced and wanted to come around. I countersteered but by that time, the front end of the car was already headed toward the hillside. I was hoping that the car would either crash or climb up the hill, but instead, it climbed at an angle and just rolled over. The car fell on the rear passenger-side corner and then rolled over on the passenger side (as you can tell by the passenger pillars being bent). We slid down the hill for a good couple of meters until we finally stopped. I was stuck in my seatbelt and too far in the back of the car to reach the steering wheel. I pushed on the roof of the car (now on the ground) to take my weight off the seatbelt and unclipped it.
I couldn’t get the door opened so I rolled down the window and kicked it out. I got out and no one was there, turned around, no one still. Turned back the other way and saw a guy in a gray VW Jetta. He had a green shirt on and was calling 911. I looked in the car to try to get my dad out, but I couldn’t get to him. I looked around again and saw people coming from the top of the hill. One lady was a registered nurse. I looked down at the car and miraculously, my dad was able to free himself and get out.
My dad was bleeding from the back of the head, as well as the left side of his face. He couldn’t get up, so we told him to stay down and gave him warm clothing and covered the wounds with shirts. A while later, a cop car came in, followed by a firetruck and then an ambulance. A second ambulance came a little while later…
Here’s a brief breakdown of the incident:
The road looks so simple and basic, but its unforgiving in the rain…
You can read the full thread that my buddy posted up here on SON: http://www.son240sx.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39317
The reason I wanted to post this here is because I was having a conversation with my buddy on MSN and it sparked this interest: what if the guy who owns the impound lot rips shit off the remains of my car, then takes salvageable parts off and tries to sell it?
I’m only saying this because the guy who OWNS the impound lot has two 240SX’s. Both of them being pignoses like mine. One is his race car, the other is his parts car. None of his car has lips or the rare CDM sideskirts (urethane, the real deal, no FG).
As well, my engine only has about 98,000 km’s, the interior is still mint, minus the accident damaged areas. Everything is still intact, front calipers, pads and rotors, as well as end links all around are BRAND NEW. There’s also a Viper 5002 alarm still in the car. The front tires are also brand new BFG Traction T/A’s with less than 1000 km’s on them.
I’m not out to hunt someone, I just want to make sure that this guy doesn’t cheat people out.
I mean, my dad almost lost his life in this crash, insurance left us with nothing, they would NOT surrender the car to us, and wouldn’t even provide a settlement. I don’t want my dad’s injuries to go unnoticed while this creep rips shit off my car…
Anyway, here’s the location of the rollover:
