I'm new. I no longer have my sunfire, read more...

Hello. My name is daniel, and i just registared for this forum. I no longer own my 96 sunfire GT MTX. It was black, and it was beautiful condition. I bought it back in april of 04' for $3000. I loved my sunfire. But, on july 28th, 2004, i was running late to meet my friends for a trip to carowinds. On the way there, it started to rain. I was driving too fast for the conditions, and lost control at 55 MPH around a turn. I over-corrected, and sent it sideways into a telephone pole. I hit the firewall directly. Luckily, i walked away with only a concusion and some bruises. 2 more feet back, and my head would have made direct contact with the pole, which would have left me dead. I loved my sunfire, and searched for another one without success. So on october 11, 2004. I found a 1994 Ford Taurus SHO in moonlight blue. This is my current car, and i love it to death, but i still think i would rather have my sunfire. You can view both before and after pictures of my sunfire at this site: www.cardomain.com/id/blackgtsunfire and if you want to check the SHO, go here: www.cardomain.com/id/shodown220

I am gonna sound like a total a hole but it serves you right your car was wrecked. Idiots need to punished for not knowing how to drive in the rain.

lets look at it like this..... what if hat pole was a car with your mom in it. and she is driving all carefully and then that a hole is humming around that corner and takes her out and kills her. but since that didn't happen and he only hit a pole he deserves our symphony ? i think not ! he should have never put himself or his car in that position. raceing to meet some friends HA......

Even though i'm allowed to express my opinion, as you are, I will be the better person and not comment about someones misfortune.

Well, i messed up, i know i did. But you know what, everyone makes mistakes, im sorry that i cannot be as @!#$ perfect as you are. I dont expect people to have sympothy on me, that wasn't the point in this post. But what i have learned from this is that im a human, and you know what that means? I make mistakes. I can vouch for everyone that they have made mistakes. i wasn't driving fast to be an @!#$ thank you very much. One more thing, you are going to tell me that you have never, ever went over the speed limit or broken one driving violation??

Thanks, but honestly, its the truth. While ive never been in a wreck, ive had a couple close calls! Sometimes you dont realize what you are doing till its too late!! Hindsight in 20-20 as they say!!! Anyways, good luck with the new ride, let us know what you do to it (dont wreck it)

i rolled my '02 corolla ont he highway going 65mph on a bright sunny day. my grandmother was in the car. lost control when i had a blowout, went into the ditch and rolled a few times in 3 feet of snow so it wasnt too rough like rolling on pavement or whatever...anyways we were ok just a few scratches...car was totaled.

this comment pissed me off though...

i was an inexperienced driver, lack of ABS on the car, i slammed on the brakes and i did what was instinctual. you obviously have not been in the same position to even KNOW what it would feel like if you really DID kill a family member.

whatever...
