RIP Camo 240....in all you low 12's goodness.

Post by 91white_ka »

The pictures speak for themselves. The car got away from me on the interstate. Another car was changing lanes and saw me stuggling to gain control and jammed brakes I was just starting to straighten out when I made contact. Sending me in a slide right for the wall. Just didnt have enough room to catch it so into the wall I went. The other driver locked up brakes and slid into the other wall. When it was all said and done the only damage to the rear passenger side of the other vehicle (where I made contact) was a paint scuff.

Divers side frame rail is torn in half. So I have to ask myself if I have the heart to swap chassis.

Hey 187, get f@cked... The other driver could have just as easily checked the lane the were merging into. It was was my fault for loosing control, but accidents happen by TWO people being complacent. Wasn't like I was mongyingr three lanes of interstate and there was no place to hide, lmao. The other vehicle was merging towards me from the left lane.

Damn sorry to hear that. At least your safe and everyone else. Swap into another chassis or into a 510.

I currently own four 240's so its no real big deal. Just pissed that i ruined a perfectly straight coupe with untouched frame rails and not a lick of rust.

This is what it's all going in.

I have a lot of parts to make and I have to camo the car but I'm going to shoot to have it at IFO next sunday, I will start the build thread tomorrow. Stay tuned.
