Re: I think I royally screwed my car. =(

Hey everyone, havent had time to check back until now. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try going to a self wash and try cleaning out the rims and such tonight. Tomorrow I'll go have the tires rebalanced and check to see if it does in fact need to be aligned. Then I'm gonna buy a jeep.

I think I royally screwed my car. =(

So I got my Tiburon stuck in the mud behind my house 2 days ago. Dont ask how, I just did. Not on purpose. But I called my friend to try and pull me out with his truck. Well the truck is only 2WD and it got stuck as well. Well, he called his uncle who came by with his H2. He pulled my friends truck ...

Ugh. I wish I could go. That sounds like a helluva lot of fun. 10 hour 593 mile drive though. Its not the drive that kills me, its the gas money. :(

Re: My first accident

I wish my accidents were that small. Instead, I like to get better at them each time. Anyway, by law I'm pretty sure it's her fault. Anytime you're hit from behind is almost always their fault, unless you're backing up or something.

Re: Highest you've gone above redline!

It went to about 8500, and the needle went past that into the white on the speedometer, where 9 should have been, before I slammed the clutch down.

Re: Highest you've gone above redline!

Yeah. It went to where the needle couldnt go any farther. And I'm damn surprised it didnt blow either. Redline was at 7, I think, and the limiter stops it just past it. I blew wayyyyyyyy past the limiter.

Re: Highest you've gone above redline!

It was my little 97 civic. Not sure about the speeds, I was pretty much guestimating there, but I do remember the tach being pinned. That scared the sh1t out of me. And I realize NOW that I didnt need to downshift. But like I said, I was pretty new to the whole thing and probably shouldnt have been ...

Re: 06 STi

How do you figure? By fighting them all the way, you get the best price for the car. If you dont fight it, you get screwed sideways.

Re: 06 STi

I just noticed that they added "All prices reflect 2000 cash or trade equity" and also changed the price from "6999" to "7995"...I'm paying 7500 for it. after a HUGE fight and threats about going to the better business bureau and the Attorney General.

Re: Highest you've gone above redline!

Oh boy. Okay, so I'm 18 and stupid. Nuff said. I was driving home from my girlfriends house one night. She lives about 8 minutes away doing 5-10 over the speed limit. I made it from her house to mine in 3 minutes and 17 seconds. I know that because a song started playing JUST as I pulled out of her ...

Re: 06 STi

Bought one. Alas, it isn't an STi, but it is damn nice. 03 Tiburon, silver. 4 cylinder, but still very nice either way. Short shifter in it, which I love. Paying for the sucker is gonna kill me, but I'll make it work. My mom and friend are driving it back from NH almost all the way to Cape Cod. I ha...

Re: 06 STi

I think I might get the V6. It kind of pisses me off that the V6 doesnt have too many more options, but is about 1000-2000 more. The only true difference is in the horsepower. And you get a premium sound system. Dont give a rats ass about the system, I'm putting my own in anyway. The mpg isnt too di...
