Hi guys. Here is an unfortunate update I wanted to share with you as part of the timeline for this car and myself:

07/03/18 Update

Big Man upstairs was definitely watching over me. I got into a minor car accident on Highway 49. The only injury I caused was to my left wrist and hand. Car spun out like a merry go round while bouncing on the left curb throwing me to the right curb and landing perfectly in a parked position on the side if the curb with 3 tires left lol.
A good samaritan woman stopped and made sure i was okay. She asked if i had insurance and i said i was a AAA member. She called AAA for me and I got roadside assistance because of her help. Another person stopped by and said she can direct traffic so she put on a colored vest and started directing traffic lol more people supported and picked up the bumper pieces on the road and put it in the trunk. another person offered me 2 bottles of water. And the people called the sheriff as well. An ambulance happened to be passing by and stopped to make sure i was ok. They looked at my wrist and asked if i wanted to get it checked out but i said no at the time because i was still able to move it around. Now it swole do i cant really move it. AAApicked me up and i got dropped offat my mechanic shop with the car. i made an insurance claim and we will see how much the repair estimate is versus how much the car is worth on Thursday.

Sticky soft rear tires + stock tires in rwd = deadly combination, especially if the size of the tires are different in size by a couple inches or more....u lose traction so easily in the front tires so easily.

I thank God I am alive and that the engine is still healthy.
the subframe is bent and the drivers side knuckle snapped off with the ture lol you can see the small piece of metal sticking out of the bottom of the tire in one of the photos.

5 seconds later and i would have had no bigger wall to protect me and would have flung into the trees below, a bit further down the road.

The good Samaratin said she the car was still on when i landed after the dust clouds disappeared and thought I was going to take off until she saw the tire was off, and was like nope he isn't going anywhere for sure!! ... and that I came out of the passenger side dusting my car off LOL

===============================================

Now I'm prepping for a worst case scenario in case I need to sell the car or part it out.

I was wondering if you guys could help me with price checks on any of the following parts or the car as a whole.

- KW V3 @ 1k miles
- TopgunZ A2A Kit @ 875 miles
- v3 SCi blower shell @ 6k miles
- Full 928 internal upgrades @ 875 miles
- IPP Stage IV spec engine w/ RJM closed deck @ 875 miles
- Quaife LSD 1.0 @ 1.5k miles
- MT Street S/S tires 305-35-19 @ 80 miles
- 9psi pulley @ 875miles
- 3.0" SC pulley s 875 miles
- Magnaflow exhaust
- Fresh AFR sensors x2
- NGK DILKAR8A8 SparkPlugs @ 875 miles
- Stillen Manifold @ 6k miles
- ATI 5.5" Super dampr street crank pulley @ 875miles

- ECUtek bluetooth dongle & License @ 875 miles (license activated June 24th, 2018)

ECUtek tuned by Eugene (ByThaBay / Enthusiast Auto Care). Car runs nearly perfect. Paid tor a full speed density tune, so if car is bought, you will have full 110% support from him for tuning! Just needs to tune in the high RPMs as the lower RPM tuning is nearly flawless!

- Optional extra 6 spark plugs same as ones in car ATM
- Optional e85 Zeitronix Sensor Kit
- Everyth else @ ~41k miles

Please and thankyou!! Would be much appreciated

The car, after a quick visual inspection needs:
(1) New front crossmember
(2) All new front suspension (minus the KW V3's that are still in place)
(3) New hub brake lines
(4) New rotors on front driver side
(5) New lower oil pan since it got smashed up and the pickup definitely got smashed
(6) New passenger airbag since it got deployed (I can just buy a used passenger seat with an unused airbag in it which is really cheap)
(7) New front bumper & Back Bumper (Can get them used)
(8) Replacement OEM side skirts? Didn't even know the car had those but okay
(9) Unknown factors because they didn't take a close inspection look yet; but will do that today and I will update this later once they do a damage assessment later today.

Everyth else is fine lol

*** I have plenty of people interested in the motor already ; assuming it still works. I did turn on the car right after the accident, and it was still working and turning on fine, so I assumed the car was still healthy. It wasn't for long periods of time that I kept the car on though. This was before I knew the lower oil pan was smashed upward which, now that I know that, I won't be turning on the car anymore since it could starve the engine of oil as the pickup is smashed badly. Hopefully there is no harm done to any aftermarket parts -- which from what I saw and what they saw so far before doing a close inspection, there was no harm done. But we will find out soon enough and I will keep you guys updated ***

Thanks <3
