ps, how do you make the Signature picture bigger and still get past the moderators?
I'm at work, bored. I just keep this page up, among others, and refresh every once in a while

To put in a bigger sig, upload the image to photobucket (or whatever) and then just put the IMG tag as your sig.

hey dude.... thanks! But again, sorry to turn this thread into not about your car... We truly are sad. However, since it is 1:40 am here right now... I am tired. I am going to read the updates, then I'm sleeping.

Sorry to hear about the car... Any ideas of what you would get if your car is totaled?

Understeer reeeaaallly sucks, huh? A few years back, my friend understeered his ES off of a cliff!! The car was totaled, but the only scratch he got was from a tree branch when he climbed back up the cliff. These little cars are built pretty stoutly (is that a word?)

Good luck with fixing the car, and what really matters is that you didn't get hurt.

O_o wow, well at least I didn't go off a cliff!

If you really want I can go and take a picture. It's just loose gravel on pavement on a corner, nothing special.

This may be a good excuse to join the MSP club. Lots of em for sale around the forums for decent prices. Maybe an MP3 though, I don't know if I want a turbo.

Or maybe it's time to start shoppoing for AWD. The safety + all the snow we get here may make it a more logical choice.

Yeh, I'm pretty stressed on what to do next...

I supposed one could say it was unavoidable, regardless of what car I was driving. I wasn't speeding, but I'm sure driving slower could have prevented it...

I'm not too used to driving 20 under the limit in my Protege though. Espesically not on corners
