He had taken it to the tuner who found the timing had been retarded by the knock sensor. When we was driving home with his buddy he was taking a flyover too fast, and when it came into boost in third (maybe 80 MPH?) it blew all four tires loose and he teed the wall. They are both basically OK but he is pretty bummed. All the officers there say they have no idea what kept them from going over the edge (an 84' drop according to the radar gun!) but we know. God is kind to fools! He sure has been to me!

 

OUCH!!!!!

Glad to hear everyone was OK.

 

Glad to hear every one is ok. Those cars have a lot of power and you can get into trouble in a hurry. That really sucks it got wrecked. If memory serves he has not had it very long. But at the end of a situation like this you realize that the car is just that.... A car. Thats why we all pay insurance. All that matters is every one is safe and unharmed. The Good Lord was watching out for you guys today.

Glad everyone is OK

 

It happens to the best of us!

...he should have bought a lotto ticket that day!

 

The good Lord was watching over him glad he's ok

 

Glad he's alright. I seem to recall you saying it made big power. I had an earlier version of that car, a 91 or 92, and that thing was fast but relatively safe w. AWD. I never did go 80mph on an overpass though... On a motorbike, sure. Car, no.
Maybe you can talk him in to getting a truck now?

 

judging by the marks on the concrete in the background he has been blessed with another chance at life, GOD willing he will learn a lesson about when and where to go fast. thank the good lord he is OK thats a bummer about his car.

WOW...Glad the boys are OK.

It's the hard lessons, and expensive......that we learn the most from.

 

Glad everyone has no major injuries

 

I recommend his next car be a VW bug.

 

diesel of course!

 

yeah one of those diesel gutless rabbits would work out great

 

Now wate a min, my wife drives an 03 TDI jetta 5spd thats not quite stock and she has shut down-a-many mildly moded diesel trucks.

 

Definatly not one of the 400whp diesel rabbits though. Those diesel rabbits have alot of mods available and can make serious power for such a small diesel.

Glad the boys are ok too. I remember the good old days when I felt invincable like them. LOL
