Default When Traffic Polls Attack YOur SC400

I'm "V2" Sucks.. You can't see most of the damage, but my est. is $5500.00 for repairs. Also, my car had much more damage then the cop saw (because of it being night and raining hard)
The light actually struck my car, my car spun and both sides are damaged.






Sucks....

And just something that cheers me up... MY NEW BREMBO ROTORS!

You sure those are Brembo rotors because Brembo does not make stock sized rotors for our cars.

Sorry about the ticket...I went to Florida last year and the rain was pretty crazy...

Hope everything goes well!

that sucks about the accident. at first i thought you were talking about some kind of election poll...

do you really have a JIC exhaust? any pics?

you were V1? you need to get your driving skills re-evaluated? how sad...

does it have Brembo stamped on the outer edge of the rotor?
And you paid over $700 for a set of stock sized rotors?!?

Ok, I checked Brembo's site and they do have them now for 94-99 rears only.

Sorry for questioning you at such a bad time, but I've tried to get Brembo from my distributor and he says they don't make them for the SC's.

JIC looks like a smaller version of Apexi N1.. They are about 3.5" tips not shinny at all, and have an angle cut. They are clean looking. Sure i'll take pics this weekend,
I was V2, my bad, typo

what kind of traffic pole hit your car?
is it one of those poles with green, yellow, red lights that just came down on your car?

The Pic of the Traffic Police report must not be showing up.

Story:

I was drive home from a friends house around 12:00 midnight and it was raining very hard and was hard to see. The car infront of me lost control in a water spot and spun into a power/light pole. I was right behind the car. The power/light pole snapped about mid way up and fell over me right behind my car. The wires from the power line struck the top of my car and wipped on hood, roof, trunk, and spoiler. The light on the pole hit the ground in my path and I skidded into it.

Lightbulb Mystery Solved!

Well, since you've spelled it 4 times that way, we can eliminate the possibility that you mistyped it. But I can tell from the context that you meant a light "pole", not a poll.

And I just figured out what "V2" means- you are "Vehicle 2" in the traffic report!

Whotta relief! (And glad to hear you are OK)
