So I flew off a 70ft cliff in my S14
Happend last thursday night on the way to my buddies house.. wasnt going that fast only about 55 but the drag radials got a little water on them and i lost total control and went off a cliff. while in the air we hit a tree then free fell 60ft sideways.. its still a blur but i remember at the bottom of the cliff the airbags did deploy which probably saved us... i am glad i didnt die or even worse paralized... me and my friend walked away, my back has been killing me for a week but no broken bones or ***** up spine. just to show how sturdy our cars are.
anyhow i am going to have a partout soon on any salvagable parts
p.s. sorry about the sizes of the pix, i cannot resize on this computer..

^^He didn't quote the pictures, he resized them so you can see the whole thing... calm down haha..
Dude, that's a serious accident, amazing you guys didn't get hurt, when you can walk away from something like that and call 911 yourself, that's crazy... Sorry for the loss, you had a sick 14, good luck w/ the part out, I'll frequent it when it appears.

Actually, i had to go back to the hospital last night because during a routine checkup they noticed a little blood sitting under my skin and doctor said one of my internal organs is more than likely bleeding.. so they rushed me to the er last night... AGAIN...
after a butt load of tests and 16 hours, they found i had 2 fractured ribs in 4 diff locations, i have a hemotopia (which is a sack of blood) on my lung but they say it should go away on its own.. and i have some damage to my spleen but not too bad.. i gotta go back in 10 days to see if it got any better, if not they gotta operate
i was wondering becuase most of the bruises have healed but my left back hurts still like a mofo! and icy hot aint helpin.. thats cuz the ribs are cracked.. heh
as for the car, you SCAVANGERS, the drivetrain is going into my 98 kouki i bought today.
everything else, is fair game but i dont know what is still good.. i wont be able to part it out until i heal up a little bit, or if you are in san diego, you can pull your own part
i just feel much more confident about geting in a crash in a nissan, they make a damn good car. cuz the rescuers told me i was lucky cuz most people who go off that cliff die..
