Default hey matt!

Its good to hear you're ok and made it back home in one piece. I was assuming you were either driving really fast wanting to get the car back home (usually what i do when i just get something new or a new mod done to the car)...or i figured the tires were bald since i've had a similar incident with my GS luckily i got my car back in control. Don't worry man, things only get better from here and you only come back 10X stronger. Just don't get another SC for the time being since the chinese say that bad luck come in 3 stages...and you've already wrecked 2?

Dag bro no luck with 5 speed SC's. VIP style GS3 might be the best bet.

You think thats a steal? I got my 92 with 155k for 2500! Needs that TLC, but no major issues at all!

Suxors that your ride got wrecked man... I drive like a grandma sometimes cause I dont want to wreck my baby. But I do still hit entrance ramps in 3rd gear goin up to 70

That must have been a lil scary man. I spun out of control once(didn't wreck though) and I was pretty scared and shooken for the rest of the night. It's good to hear that you are ok bro. Sry about the ride, sounded like a real beauty that you got for a steal.

sorry to hear that man..thats really bad luck. hopefully you end up with something nice after all this. these cars are really tail happy tho...especially in the rain with bald tires...i know nobody's gonna think of it when theyre driving a car home after just buying it..but the back tires should always be the ones with the most tread

Cop wrote a ticket for faiulure to maintain control.

And yes, life has not been fair o me lately to say the least.

vredniykot, I'll be in touch soon.

Vaelsed, you didnt get that good of a deal. I got my previous SC300 5-speed for 2k

wow man im sorry to hear.


To say im glad you got out okay would be the understatement of the century. Take some warm baths. Itll help loosen up your back. Im really not sure what i have to offer but hit me up if theres anything you need. (finishing up my biochem classes along with everything that goes with it if thats what youre going to school for and need some help )
good luck with everything.

-Ronald
