Cool Write Off

Hi guys, a couple of weeks ago I crashed my 7th gen coupe into the side of a house and wrote it off
But i've now got hold of a 4th gen prelude 2.2 vtec and i'm well pleased with it, i've alredy hit 150mph in it and it's in standard trim. I was so upset when I lost the civic but now i'm totally over it due to the prelude's greatness

Yeah that's right, the 2 events didn't happen on the same road. You don't have to do anything spectacular to write a car off, the expense of replacing the airbags alone is £2000 and my insurance company didn't value the car very highly, I must admit that after driving the lude I agree with them.
At the time of the accident (which wasn't my fault) directing my car into the side of the house was the lesser of 2 evils.

I can't see what's wrong with driving a car within it's design limits on an empty motorway at 03:00am in good conditions

So civic01vtec did yuo actually hit that dear or are you just blaming it for a parking accident, then in another of your posts you say you have no accidents in 5 years, so i take it you didn't tell your insurance company your little story about the dear. You probably didn't tell them that BS story about you street racing against a 6th gen either. So lying to your insurance company to get cheaper cover? That's illegal in the UK. And street racing that's illegal too! And you're saying someone should take my licence away?!
You should take a look at your own driving before you start judging mine

Wow, i can't belive u did a seach on me. No, i haven't had any accidents at all. The Deer not Dear did hit me, in fact i have hit 4 deer in my life........u live where i live and that is normal......my friend has it almost 10 already...lol. It only caused minor damage, i didn't lie to my insurance company at all. They cover damage due to animals cuz it is a act of god. And as far as me racing the 6thgen, i didn't even get over 50mph.

Maybe the house wall had a murel of the road continuing on through it. :P

Im sorry dude, but its not like you ditched it, hit a stone fence or tree or anything, YOU HIT A HOUSE. It doesnt matter what time of day it was somebody could have died. And this makes you the tool of the week.

My dad had a choice of dying in a head-on collision or crashing his car to the right, into another parked car, bouncing IT up into the neighbors yard.

The other driver was distracted and speeding up the wrong side of the road. He and my dad met on the crest of a hill, so neither could see the other beforehand. The lesser of the 2 evils was my dad wrecking into a parked car instead of a head-on. No one was hurt.

Sooo..... things happen. Don't automatically judge someone.

I trust that it wasn't your fault since you said so. I am curious about what the circumstance was, if it doesn't hit too close to home. no pun intended

MREEZYSMRS: the accident which destroyed his civic didnt happen on the empty motorway... it happened elsewhere, evidently the road had houses on or near it.

he took his new prelude up to 150mph on an empty motorway at 3:00am

he is explaining himself clearly imho.

i think its stupid that he went 150mph on an empty motorway at 3am. he didnt explain himself clearly because he didnt describe what happened before he hit the house and how it wasnt his fault. street racing is illegal but going 150mph isnt?

i did read the whole thread. i dont believe anyone that does 150 mph on a street, be it 3am or not, and also says that crashing into a house was not his fault. he obviously does not drive whithin the confines of the law, so i am completely justified for making my previous statement.

YOU were not there either, who are you to say that we are wrong in dishing blame?

im not saying who was to blame... that's not my place. he said its not his fault. as far as im concerned he's the only one involved in this thread who is qualified to make that determination. im simply pointing out that maybe others shouldn't be talking to this guy as though they are the judge jury & executioner.
