yeah judging from the car he didn't limp away from that one. it looked like it hurt. glad he is ok though.

Damn, I'd say from the look of that car your friend is VERY lucky to be alive. Usually a tree or pole hitting the driver side door means game over.

Good to hear your buddy is doing better. What happened tho? Looks like he hit something on the drivers side?

 

[BLWN DSG]

OMG!!!! I don't see how he lived on that one...I am glad he is still with us...

He's lucky to be alive.

I read that and just started laughing. So true and thats why I don't street race.

yea... he was racing down RT 72 in south jersey. its a 2 lane road with nothing but woods on the right hand side. he lost control and wrapped himself around a nice big pine tree. odds were he wasnt going to make it but hes one lucky SOB and beat the odds

Gotta love NJ for our pine trees

I cant tell from the pic, but did he remove the stock steering wheel airbag? I doubt it would have helped him much based on the damage.

Not that i know of. Hes not exactly a great friend of mine due some high school racing that took back in the day when he had his VR-4 and i took him with my 99 GT that i just got back from the shop with only intake, headers, x pipe, cat back, gears, and a chip. Quite funny actually and ever since then he respected me but always held a lil grudge. Back then he thought his vr-4 was the best thing since sliced bread

referring to what? another evo crash? or vr-4 kill

 

[95riosnake]

damn, I can't believe he lived through it. The tree basically hit the worst part of the car for his chances of living. Hopefully he will calm down if he gets the chance to drive again, I know I would be a bit gun shy after that.

 

[F8LBITEva]

how do you lose control of an AWD? glad he's ok.

 

[MachME]

Ya damn, it him, he took the whole blow.

BTW what happend to the other car when he saw the crash?

 

[93tealcoupe]

That is amazing, how in the world did he survive that.
