Fuck. Glad that you’re alright. Seriously - you need to say a prayer of thanks or something (and I’m the last person to recommend that).

fuck that noise - you walked away from that wreck relatively unscathed. I’m certainly impressed with the civic unibody ALOT more now.

Believe me man, i’m not going to sugar coat this at all.

**I was 100% at fault.** I let a tailgater get the best of me and almost paid the ultimate price. I’m just very happy I can be around to learn from this, and hopefully other people can learn from this too.

Oh well. What would you do if you identified him anyway? Say “Hey man, how come you didn’t stop when I forgot to turn when the road did?” and then do nothing?

I mean, the helped himself to a huge pile of negative karma for not stopping but it’s not like he’s at fault for anything.

only one rim is good, and the motor is all sorts of fucked I can guarantee that.

As a matter of fact I talked to the shop storing the car and the guy is going to pull the rim for me, as a “memento”

Sorry brotha…lol

You are damn lucky.

Since when do cars just split in half? So full frames make cars heavier, but they stay in one piece.

it looks like the floor split across a seam in this case, as it looks like the sound deadening doesn’t go all the way to the rip. getting rid of the engines weight in this accident was probably a good thing. let the engine and tranny continue on their merry way, fuck it, better then winding up like this:
