Driving along and making a left turn in a double left handed turn with another car on the outside turning in. Some guy not paying attention ran the red light and ran me and the other guy off of the road. i swerved hard to the left and went sideways but if i stayed in that direction i was going to be head on with an oncoming car but on the other side of the car was another open lane and after that a ditch so i kept it hooked left for a second longer and whipped it right as hard as i could and cleared the car and only barely had a my rear wheel on the edge of the asphalt (keep in mind this is all done while sideways sliding) . well there was a telephone pole there that i saw and i had room to clear it just fine. But unfortunately in the split second of time i had to assess the situation what i didn't see is the wire tie down for the power pole. I hit it with my rear bumper and it whipped me around. popped the airbag on the side of my dome piece so i didn't European kiss my side window. I was okay i felt absolutely fine but i immediately got out of my car and the picture on the left is what i saw.
well had an insurance party fully covered and the car was paid off so i got a pretty good check in my pocket and then i was hunting cars, maybe another tib, a 240sx, ae86, WRX, EG/EK hatch, srt4, there were others but it clicked one day. There's only one car i know that i need to have or rather one engine. It's the 2jz, for those of you who've known me long enough know that i had a supra back in the day and I got rid of it a while back well it was the car my eldest brother Roibi and i built from the time i was 7 until i was 14, it's the car/engine i learned how to wrench on. so i went all up and down western washington from olympia to marysville testing every last is300 there was and then i found this one and the price was right so i gotter and can't wait to start building, prepare yourself AC2013 the "fast and the FURious" theme is gonna have a new contender

that's the exact terminology i used, i literally had blood sweat and tears in that car (totally serious) i had spent countless nights into wicked hours in the morning working on it. when i wasnt running right i was always in a bad mood. it was a part of me and it was my little child :<
So sorry you got in a wreck! Glad you're OK, it could have been really bad. People can't drive these days- I almost got hit by a guy who blatantly ran a red light. Luckily I hesitated for no reason, and he never got close to me. Congrats on the new ride, and RIP to the tibby. :<
Dude, thats rough. I consider myself lucky I've never been in acident, aand I hope I never do. But consider this car, like you titled it, a new beginning. You get the joy (and sometimes the headeache) of exploring a new chassis, and starting the process from the begining.
Hope to compare IS's with ya at AC next year ;)
