Sucks for you sorry I know what it feels like. Amazingly I hit a tree offroading but I was only going about 25 or thirty and I have almost as much damage as you. But I didn't have a bmw so mine will actually be cheap enough to fix.

Jeez that sucks. You are lucky you didn't hurt yourself, your friend, or someone else. Am I the only one that thinks 25 mph is actually pretty quick for a turn through a crosswalk in the rain?

well good to hear no one was hurt.

chalk it up to experience.

when my kids get to be driving age, i want to make sure they get some skid pad driving training...learning how to parallel park via the local driver ed teacher just ain't gonna cut it.

2 best things I did to improve my driving were a defensive driving course (spin controll/ parallel parking/ safe braking/wet skidpads ect), and beleive it or not off-roading helps a lot. When getting offline could mean rolling, or breaking something and having to hoof it back down a 40 mile trail, you pay extra attention to where all 4 tires are at any given moment. Offroad racing and rally help too, but they're more advanced, gotta master the basics first.


Downhiller, sorry to hear about your car, don't know how Croatian auto insurance works, but hope they cover you and don't jack up the rates too bad. Look up some of Lovebuny's threads, they'll make you feel much better about the whole situation.

If it is any consolation, I crashed my first car, second car, third car, and fifth car.

this kid at my school (like the richest public school in portland) was talking on his cell phone and driving and hit somebody going through an intersection. he had just gotten the car from the dealership a half an hour earlier.

this was also a year after he flipped his parents $90,000 mercedes. i hate the people at my school.

Driving course sounds like a good idea.

So far, the best thing I did to improve my driving was getting a motorcycle.


You were doing 25mph like my dick is 12" long...
:rofl:

So my woman said, "Give me 12 inches and make it hurt!"
So I fvcked her twice and hit her in the head with a brick.

I bet your fourth car is sitting around on carmonkey.com telling everybody what a lunatic driver you are, and how he is happy to be alive.
hehehe...

That was a 77 Land Cruiser. The engine died in that.

That's a whole lot of suck right there. Glad you're ok.

A few years ago I got to tow a totaled BMW z5 that had 7 miles on it. The guy was 4 blocks from the dealership and he got took out by a soccer mom in a Denali who blew a light while she was on the phone. All the miles were from the test drive a few hours earlier.

That sucks dude. I remember my first car crash. It does shake you up a bit, but don't worry, you'll get over it pretty quick. I just hope you had good insurance.
