Josh,

Did you try Dana at Synaptic3?

 

Nah, nobody really seems interested. Fine with me though, that's really not why I did it all.

 

Final details posted.

 

Thanks for putting this together, I can't wait to head down there for it

 

I'm coming, too!

 

Awesome bro.

 

I've been on the fence for the past two weeks. I want to make it down but I have three deadlines for major projects the following week.

If I do manage to get enough work done does anyone know a good car wash somewhere between Newton and the meeting spot? My Nordic Green looks more like Pollen Yellow right now and it's really just disrespectful

 

I'm out. Car might be totaled. Got cut off by an ******* on 24s on saturday and got tossed into an acura mdx and the guardrail after the ******* who cut me off blew his motor and a piece of the engine or turbo blew out of his car and hit my right front tire and ripped the wheel out of my hand. For the record I was not racing him he was trying to race me when I had cruise control set and turbo cobalts go boom.

 

The cloud of oil and smoke was so thick that the guy in the acura and I both thought that we hit the cobalt because we couldn't see anything and I would have spun more if the acura didn't stop me from spinning. I was getting hit with tons of shrapnel from the cobalt when his motor blew and finally something big hit my right front tire and that was all it took.felt like I hit a curb so I'm thinking it was like a huge chunk of his manifold or part of his turbo or something, either way it looked like a mine field of shrapnel from alliminum and egine pieces everywhere on the road.

 

Hope youre ok dude....

did you guys catch the cobalt? with a blown motor he couldnt have run very far...













pics?

 

I'll take pics later today or tomorrow when I go see the car, couldn't take pictures from inside the ambulance. The guy in the cobalt ended up walking back and taking responsibility for the accident, he was cited for speeding and a marked lane violation. I saw that he had an intercooler in the front bumper when he pulled in behind me at one point so I'm assuming he had the boost way too high. He didn't get very far and the first police officer on scene got a radio call that someone was walking back on the highway so they assumed it was him and they just waited for him to get up the hill and made him stand next to the ambulance and watch us get loaded in the back while the state trooper was writting his ticket and yelling at him for being an idiot. He had a star of life (the blue star on ambulances, similar to the one in my avatar but without the stripper and pole) in his back window so he was either an emt or medic and should have known better. The trooper said "look at this car(my car) this is what you just caused. Why were you trying to race him? His car (mine) is obviosly faster than yours and he would have killed you if he tried." I was laughing with the medic in the back of the ambulance while I was collared and boarded.

I'm fine I guess, I do feel like I got hit by a truck, my neck and back near my shoulder are real sore and I'm going home from work right now, thought I could work without the muscle relaxers I got at the hospital but I was wrong. So I'll be chewing flexeril and watching tv and making all the insurance calls today.

 

Man, well im glad youre ok, and im glad he took responsibility.. that will make things so much easier in the long run

 

if it is totaled there are quite a few real nice ones on autotrader.....

 

if its totalled... part out??

 

maybe. we'll see. the tow yard is open at 9:30 and i have to call them. i am definitely getting the coils and wires out of it and the intake and the MS strut bar if it's not damaged. exhaust will be tough though.

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear bro, but glad everyone is ok.

 

OMG dude... That sucks. So sorry that happened.

I know about the race thing though. I live i n a fairly small town and every honda, toyota, subaru and their brother try to race me. It gets old and its dumb.

Glad you aren't too banged up.

Maybe he was texting while drag racing. DUMBASS.

 

Josh,

How far from Centerville are we ending? I was thinking the girls and I were going to spend the night in the Cape Cod Oceanview motel in the harbor.

Just wondering if that would be a good spot.

Well I'm off of exit 5 and the Mazda dealer is exit 8. About a 15 minute drive.

 

Hey guys, sign me up for the meet.

Hey EMS, sorry about your car.

 

Looks like I will be making the trip down. See ya there.

 

You got it fellas. A few more surprises are in store for everyone.

 

Might still be down for this. Took a test drive in a super clean '07 MS6 yesterday and loved it. Completly stock so I would get a fresh start. Oh and only 20,000 miles.
