It's OFFICIAL!! my first accident, and MY FAULT!!!
well not really but legally it is. Here is how the sorrow story goes.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worst, it does. First my car got stolen on Saturday and now, today, Tuesday June 18, 2002 around 12:30 eastern time, my car acts like an idiot and causes my first REAL accident.
I was going down rt 22 to this place where i got my warspeed y-pipe installed cause my pipe kept banging on this shield. They fixed that in about 5 min or less and as i'm driving back home, i approach a light and let go of gas to proceed pressing brake. Now i see myself first not slowing down and most importantly, my rpm was very high and increasing. So I pull up hand brake, slam regular brake and try to pull up gass pedal with my foot from underneath. The son of a b*tch is stuck!! I can't slow down and i'm about to cross an intersection on a highway where i'm supposed to stop due to a red light. I'm terrified as f*ck, no seat belt on and just wondering why someone hates me so much. After playing around with brakes and all, i finally slowed down to about 10 mph before crossing an intersection and getting wrecked by some type of Bronco truck. Here is the result of the accident.
Damaged bumper
damaged diamond cut bumpers
damaged fender
damaged corner head light
a little damage to hood but damage is seen only if the bra is taken off and hood still closes perfectly.
increase in insurance
and payment of a small on his car if he's a big enough ******* to make me pay.
He totally ripped shot on my car and al i did was put this little scratch on his silver lining of wheel area. I was so mad and terrified i didn't know what to think. Once again i tell myself it could have been worst but jesus christ, what's next?!
first i get my car stolen for the first time and less than half a week later i get into my first accident. I already had to pay about 500 for damaged due to the f*cks that stole my car, and now this little shmeal is gonna cost me another good 5-600 bucks. REally sucks man...
and just when i thought i was gonna have the slightest bit of luck to my side, a police officer comes and see's accident, stops traffic so we can move to the side and seeing da damage i had and the little he had and being it was my fault, he asked if we wanted to let things go and i'm ok with that. Then he asks me what happened and I honestly but stupidly tell him how my gas pedal is acting up and he says i can't drive car cause another accident may occur. So i'm forced to tow car (115 bucks) and seeing the damage to the side, he says insurance companies have to know about this due to the fact taht it's a 500 dollar damage...so my small hope of getting away with something is shattered and now my whole summer is f*cked up. I learned a lesson from all of this.
Security is the most essential thing in the world and....
never pay for something when u don't have the money because u never know what's going to happen. I paid for parts for conversion and now this crap happens. the money i used for conversion i could have used to easily pay for these damages, now i have two heavy bills coming and although i'll pay them off in due time, this definitely set me back.
Taking the bus home, i saw this nice looking chick wit dookie booty short jeans and as i'm about to approach her, i revisited my luck and thought what else could happen...then it hit me, this hoe MUST have crabs or something...i outsmarted my bad luck and now i'm waiting for its next move...freaking final destination all over again
VERY LONG SORRY BUT I DOUBT ANY OF You HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS HIT U IN ONE WEEK...SUCKS MAN!!!

i get the feeling ur CAI is what caused the gas pedal to get stuck to the floor, i wrote an old post about this. check the metal ring gasket that goes around the seal on the throttle body that the CAI connects to. Sometimes the excess ring material hangs over right where the butterfly arm is connected to the throttle wire and will either prevent the arm from goin all the way to WOT or will let the arm pass by and let it be stuck, all i can say is cut the excess ring part off. hope i helped, hope things get better.

You didn't screw someone over recently did you? Bad karma is a biotch. I'm sure your luck will turn around shortly. You should have definitely talked to that chick though! Tell her about your hard luck, try to get some sympathetic lovin'!

Holy crap. I doubt that means we'll get anything done on your conversion next week?. Maybe you should stay away from me, I had bad luck too. Blew my auto at 36k, blew the 5spd converted tranny after 3k, now i took it apart and put it together only to find out its stuck in a gear, and found a busted axle. I tell you, the world is coming to an end!

Sorry to hear of your bad luck... again...
Be careful... bad luck usually comes in groups... I'm sure you're luck will change.
On the brighter side... you (and others) weren't hurt... There's nothing great about witnessing someone die or get maimed.

thanks guys, skeelo we still doing conversion dammit, i already paid for parts, see no reason to back down from it...but may have to wait a little longer or may just get parts next week and just hold on to them till we ready, we'll talk about that....
as far as everybody else, thanks for all your help and concern...i'm smoking that goood ish tonight to delete the pain cause it's umbearing...as far as the parts are concerned, my pop's works for a non profit organization which has an auto repair training school and they are going to get my parts mad cheap with no tax and heavy discount, plus my car will be a donor so they'll work on it...for free hopefully..
as far as the parts are concerned, i like the look of my 95 max and would like to keep it like that except the lights but being i'll have to replace both lights if i went 97, i'm just going to replace the one with 95 and keep it just about the same as it was before....
here are some good things coming out this...
i'm getting a new bumper and my old one was not only scratched up from paint chipping and all but was also cut bad by me when installing the fog lights...the new one i get will most likely be from an SE which will already have cuts for the fog lights...and all i'll have to do is fine left lamp and put it in
wow, it sucks to not have a car...my uncle has an old 300zx chilling in my yard (85) but no insurance...its stick too! i drove it and obviously i'll whoop it but it would not be bad to drive it around especially being i have no car right now....

Be happy you didn't leave the scene in a body bag. Hope you get some breaks on the repairs, you're due for some good luck

Why here? Why now? Why NOT here? Why NOT now? If this was the first time you didn't wear the belt, then you're entitled to ask this question; but you said you "never" wear it. Inevitably, most of us are going to be in an accident sometime - whether it is our fault or not. If the probability of being in an accident is .1%, you probably ran out of luck.
Damn - be thankful you're still alive. You've been flirting with death for years....maybe this will teach you a lesson.
WEAR THE ****IN' BELT!!!

And they do enforce it, it's for your safety, why would you not want to do it?
May be the people who stole your car saw you driving around with no seat belt and decided to take your car away so you wouldn't risk your life?

But I support your right to kill/maim/paralyze yourself and think that the helmet and seatbelt laws(For adults) aren't right....
