someone on the GTR forum found the article on my tuner.

per the article it seems that someone hit him in the GTR and caused the wreck. roads are soaked so i assume it wasnt him doing pulls or anything.

Taken out by a fusion is a horrid way to go.

still doesnt solve my problem of $600 just out there.

now after reading all the comments of these other owners like let's send his paypal money, lets do a gofundme, etc......:facepalm:

i'm not as well off as some of those guys sooooo not for me lol

these are guys where their 1000hp gtr is their cheapest car.

You have every right to ask for a refund for a service you purchased that the shop is no longer capable of providing.

The legal terms of arts are a unilateral contact and failure to perform due to impossibility.

think it's more that i feel bad seeing all these people wanting to toss money at his wife/kid.

I'm sure he had life insurance. They're just throwing around their moral superiority

That’s crazy, must have been a huge impact, might want to seek getting yourself a bolt in cage :ugh2:

Im eyeing that FI exhaust...hmm..

:hello:

i would have to assume they went right into the driver door if they had minor injuries and he's dead.

also i saw it was a GTR that the owner built like it was a civic with cheap stuff hence why the tuner was having to do work.

do it!

:tiphat:

They were going the opposite directions. The fusion Tboned the GTR, at least according to this article.

Anyway, dont feel bad about asking for a refund.

Anyone want first dibs on a brand new Bell Diff brace, for oem diff cover?

That sucks and could have been me years ago. Just minding my own business and BAM!!!!!

Someone explain this to me. The cars were travelling parallel but the impact was perpendicular? :icon14:

RIP Doug :(

Blind curve in the road. GTR mustve fishtailed, overcompensated?

Sure looked like it was on a straight section of the road. But I guess you can't really tell from the photo in that one article.

Also the possibility of black ice on the road

had to be a turn.

yea he was a good guy. i never even had given him money and he would go back and forth on texts with me about different parts, options, info, etc...

hell, first time i hit the drag strip and texted him my stock time he was mad i didnt take a laptop was gonna send me a tune to my OEM setup to drop my 11.0 into the 10s. only a handful of OEM gtr's ever hit 10's and mine is one. i did 11.0 on terrible tires. might go hit it again with the cup 2's now.

agreed

in the pic the road was wet and it's def colder up there.

Oh yeah, I guess you can just lose it on a straight, too. Fckin north :shakes head:

Happened to me once, long ago. Not my favorite.

The blind curve makes sense though. Wet road exacerbated the loss of control in the AWD GT-R. I'm guessing the camera angle is from the top or downhill side of the curve coming around to the straight.

How fast were you going? My brother lost a friend to black ice in Az.

Slow. 25ish in a 40 mph zone. I was on guard because the weather was weird - raining but very cold. Descending a hill, I hit a patch of ice. Car shot abruptly to the right, impacted the shoulder of the road. Blew both tires, bent the frame of the car. I was unharmed. Cop happened to be driving just a bit behind me, pulled over to make sure I was ok. We're both on the shoulder, and a 2nd driver hits the same patch I did, comes flying directly at us. Regained control in time to miss us, barely. Both myself and the officer had a code brown moment.

Oh man, thats scary. Glad we dont have that here.

living up here also taught me why you shouldnt be 16, in an AWD escalade, and deicde to do doughuts in a empty lot with 6" of fresh snow.

had that big bitch on 2 wheels. also code brown moment.
