Thumbs down Friend's accidented RSX...

Damn.
Accidents suck.

One of my close friends owns a 2003 Nighthawk Black RSX.
There was water on the road. He slid and hit the wall.
Short story... don't have much details, sorry.

Some pics posted.

Naw man. He doesn't use it as a race car. He has it for show.
He likes the cars physics a lot and didn't want to get involved in an accident, as was my ex-best friend. He had the same car, about two weeks older than this one.
He crashed against a pole, flipping a few times and landing head first into the other side of the road. Luckily the oncoming cars saw him flying and stopped early, preventing further injuries/damage.
If I had pics of that one, I'd post them... The car ended up like total crap.
Imagine an RSX crushed by a monster truck, then flipped over. Sorta like that.

Well, at least Alex (the one from these pictures) loves his car.
It's just that the Department of Transportation and Public Works doesn't.
The road was all effed up.


Just visited him. Car got really fushed up...
But seeing all damage done, how the body panels reacted and seeing he was 99% perfect...

At least I know my sister is safe inside her RSX (yes, even my sister has one, ).

Ah, man, that was just stupid.

Pointing and laughing rocks.
Explain.
I have a keen eye all the time watching the cops, right.
I tend to notice a cop and then start "racing" with another beeotch.
When the cop notices something strange, I hit the brakes, go down to legal speed.
The other one gets caught.
Heh... I've done that about 6 times now.
Poor bastards... getting fined cuz of my fault.

If that ever happened to my RSX, I'd be pretty upset... Well not really cause I'd just cop a TSX next... Its good to know how safe the RSX's are though. I've seen some bad accidents involving RSX's and most people come away with bruises and scrapes...

Barring a radiator and maybe some subframe pieces you should see if you can convince your friend to sell you his motor for a good price, swapswapswap

The person who hit my friend (goes to teh same school as us) got a ticket, friend got a ticket for "not avoiding an accident" (going to fight) doctor had a scratch, and the guy who got screwed over the guy in the front who was trying to get to work minding his own business 4 cars away!!! arrested for not having his liscense. So accidents suck ALOT
thats bs to get arrested for not having your license... you have a few days to prove you actually have a license... they just have more paper work to fill out.

As always, it's good to know that your friend wasn't injured in the accident. Cars can always be replaced

Every time you see an RSX on the back of a tow truck, a 7th gen owner rejoices.

Good thing your friends okay, accidents happen all the time. Looks like the car took the impact well, insurance covers the rest, thats what its there for. Cars are just big peices of metal at the end of the day, your health is priceless.
