kendrick that is soo cool that people in the crowd helped out… i would have for sure if i had stayed longer but i readlly had to go, i was 3 hours late for work on monday morning…lol at first Berto was cool and so i thought eveyrthing was cool, but when it set in in felt really bad for the guy. i called him just as my dad and i were leaving the province. he’ll bounce back though, and i dont think anyone is laughing at him, if you are going to write-off your car, that was the place to do it…lol ---

As for my buff out comment, I made it in a humorous way and I didn’t mean to offende anyone. If this was to happen to me I would feel like shit too. And although I don’t know Alberto I still feel bad for the guy because I know what it’s like to put all your heart and soul into something and then lose it. But at the same time when you are competing in a sport such as this you got to keep in mind that these things will happen and it’s only a matter of time when it will happen to you. If you can’t bear something like this happening to you then you shouldn’t be competing in drifting. Even the best drifters lose it sometimes. Perfect example was DX2 team signal smashed one of their cars around the turn. So yes I feel sorry for the guy but at the same time it’s not like he didn’t know about the chances he is taking on that track. …And it will not just buff out, it will probably need some wet sanding too followed by some touch up paint. ---

> [@enyaw](#): > > We can rebuild it. Find another chassis and tow it over. > Give it a couple weeks, and you’ll be out there again. It’s tuff to see in the pix but the damage doesnt look all that bad… Anymore Pix? Why look into another chassis? So much time was invested in that one no? My accident looked just as bad, his tire is just a little further towards the back… Needless to say though Alberto I hope you get back on your feet and look at it as a chance to improve, I know I did… :grouphug: ---

From the pic it looks like the suspension is completely owned, and as maurice said the rocker is bent back. He hit the corner of a cement Jersey, it was pretty hard on the car. ---

The chasis is toast; The car hit hard enough to tear apart Tension rod bracket, tear apart the lower control arm (between the ball joint and Tension rod), and push the tire into the car, crush the ecu and royaly screw up the A-pillar. Chasis is twisted in a couple directions; its not a pretty site. Engine, suspension, and other major compenents seem to be okay. So just need to get a few things and transplant everything to a new chasis. I’ll try get some pic’s up later. ---

Ouch. I know that almost too well. Just hitting curbs. But my car is out now because of the same sorta reason it sucks but berto has some cash to fix it. Which makes me real happy mine wasn’t as bad. Sorry bro lemme know if I can do anything. ---

> [@Special K](#): > > Nutta who made u such an ass? Did your mom not breast feed u as a kid? Probably not. I tend to bite. It sucks what happened to Alberto, and i hope he gets back on his feet, but like i said before drifting includes having to endure hardships. Towing fee being one of the hardships. Good luck to him. Not trying to be an ass, trying to be real. Kudos to all the supporters though. Good to see ppl getting involved. ---
