so i'm guessing the rear end kicked out on him and made sweet love with a curb and thats what happened here.

the camber in that pic probably has alot to do with the wheel not being on the ground... just saying.

but damn. thats fucked up. my oil pan made sweet love with a curb last week... :(

agreed, and i think its pretty lame that someone else has to put his business out there. i knew about it 30 min after it happened, but i took the more MATURE route and let him decide when and how he was going to tell ppl about it. not posting his mistake all over the internet. kinda immature and pretty damn lame

osnap
12-09-2008, 10:20 PM
you know, mike... there's such thing as tact, but since you had to be a douchebag as usual and put my business out there, ill go ahead and tell the story to everyone else, not that its anyone else's business anyways. Its one thing to jokingly be an asshole... to do so for real only shows your colors, and I'll definitely remember this in the future.

regardless, the story goes my wholesaler told me to hop in and take it for a spin, and i happily did so not knowing the rear tires were completely bald, plus my detailer turned TCS off before I drove the car. because the tires were shot and traction control was off, taking a slight s-curve at about 60 caused the ass end to get squirrely. I tried to correct before it developed into a spin, but underestimated the M3's steering and ate a curb.

From what I understand from the M car guys, TCS being off is probably 100% to blame for initiating the spin, and im sure the tires didn't help one bit... and forgive me for not having pro driver reflexes to get out of the spin in the .02 seconds i had to react... we all make mistakes, and im fronting the costs.

I'm repairing it out of pocket, and it will be fixed by Friday. Already have a full set of M3 wheels sitting in the shop, LCAs and bushings arriving tomorrow, and picking up a new OEM radiator tomorrow too, and having the bumper sprayed before the weekend. End of story. No, I'm not in the unemployment line, still gainfully employed, though thank you all SOOO much for your concern :rolleyes:

You know - why do you have to pay for all of this? You were asked to drive the car, its not like you took the keys and decided to take it for a test drive.

Any insurance help?

osnap
12-09-2008, 10:34 PM
I had been pestering him to let me drive it and he finally gave in, its my fault. It wasnt part of my job responsibility to drive it, because we'd already sold it to him, our wholesaler. Cant go through the company, because we're keeping it low-key, and if we made a claim id definitely lose my job. My managers dont want that any more than I do, so I'm paying for it... using all OEM parts, all BNIB other than the wheels.. for WAYYYYY cheaper than it should be. Industry connections ftw.

You wont hear me blame anyone but myself, and I've taken the financial consequences. Its a shame I have to explain myself on here, but its whatever. It happens to the best of us, and I don't really give a fuck. I fucked up, and I'm taking care of it.

Thirdly - OP is one shady MFer to post this behind his co workers back, he would have a very bad day tomorrow if it was me.

Forth - Osnap you defiantly are doing the right thing, by fessing up and saying it was 100 percent your fault, and taking all the cost. Takes a very big man to do that, hell id probably leave the car and ditch on foot lol, of course my boss is my uncle, so he would probably laugh.

Dude, you really should not have done this without asking him. I did pretty much the exact same thing, and a bunch of fags went around posting shit up on Facebook because I dont have one, so I wouldn't see it. Needless to say I don't talk to those dickless retards anymore. Just think before you put people's business out in public, especially something like this. I know I felt stupid as fuck when it happened to me.

and like i said, by all means, everyone feel free to lol. i made a mistake, and honestly, if i were in someone else's shoes, id chuckle about it and give me shit too. i just wouldnt go making a whole photodocumentary thread about it just for the sheer sake of defamation.

I've gotten shit about crashing my TII fairly recently in a thread just inviting some guys on another forum to a meet. I crashed it back in May, and people hold on to dirt like this. You're a good community member though, so I'm letting you know you did a good job taking up the blame, and we all make mistakes, so don't sweat it. I mean, yeah, I think people have the right to give ya a lil' shit after something like this, but I am just letting you know not to listen to the assholes who blow it out of proportion.

Hmm interesting. Kevint707 did the same thing. What car do you own? If you're not used to RWD don't take turns quickly. YOU WILL GET PWNED. Also, can not blame this on traction control being off and the rear tires don't look bald enough to be the cause.
Glad to see you are willing to pay for your mistakes and handling it responsibly.

What we have all forgotten, is that it's completely ok that this happened. However, it's only because this car has no VTAK so it's condition is meaningless.

Glad to see you are willing to pay for your mistakes and handling it responsibly.you still havent figured out who i am IRL? I drive a white Z32, I'm plenty used to RWD. The picture isn't very indicative of the overall treadwear on the tires - despite the appearance to the contrary in the one picture, they're pretty damn shot, and combined with the TCS issue, trust me - thats what caused it. I'm no pro driver by any means, but I'm confident enough in my skills, and this wasn't even a sharp turn at all, and i wasn't at a very high speed... had those two factors been different, i can 100% guarantee it wouldn't have happened... I'm not blaming this 100% on those 2 factors - my own skill certainly came into play, no doubt... but im just saying, those factors are what initiated the problem, and my inability to react quickly enough is what caused me to eat it.

As for the cost, for those who are asking... looking like about 1.5k, which is actually stupid cheap considering the damages incurred - ive been quite lucky in getting good deals, and luckily i have good help as far as labor is concerned for the stuff that gets a bit daunting for me considering my inexperience. Interestingly enough, Marta Mike has given me more time and help than anyone else, and I couldn't appreciate it more.

Umm, you need to learn how to tell the difference between Positive and Negative camber.

nah, mike knows quite well what + and - camber look like. re-read it, he meant it as to be dismissive of negative camber and say he preferred it positive, like in the picture.... its all about sarcasm and emphasis.

just fyi Osnap. You might occasionally still get shit from people for the next few montsh, especially if someone remembers this during a retarded e-fight. It might sting but don't let it phase you. I've gotten shit about crashing my TII fairly recently in a thread just inviting some guys on another forum to a meet. I crashed it back in May, and people hold on to dirt like this. You're a good community member though, so I'm letting you know you did a good job taking up the blame, and we all make mistakes, so don't sweat it. I mean, yeah, I think people have the right to give ya a lil' shit after something like this, but I am just letting you know not to listen to the assholes who blow it out of proportion.

talking about digging up dirt...

so i spent my day off in the shop today fixing the M. replaced the radiator, replaced the pad wear sensor, replaced the LCAs, and got the rear discs off and started replacing the parking brake expander. The LCAs proved a ridiculous hassle... the rear diff had to be dropped just to get them out. In the morning I should be able to wrap it up and get it to the body shop to get the bumper taken care of, and then i should hopefully be completely through with it.

its worth noting to those following this thread that marta mike busted his ass helping me for several hours of his own time today... theres no way I would have been able to do it without him.
