crashed my balt..

Had a run in with a wall couple days ago. Was looking down too long at my Ipod on the freeway and brushed up against the side wall. Couldnt believe I did it, but **** happens I guess.

Car wouldnt move after I had pulled it over, the front wheel looked really slanted. Suprisingly there is no body damage, just a little scuff on the front fender. gotta replace both driver side wheels too.

Agreed

If you are ever caught texting while driving, you should have your license permanently taken away from you. **** boils my blood ever time I see some one do it.

Well now hopefully he has learned from his mistake. We dont need to bash him. Just tell him that he was wrong and he will be on his way. As long as a lesson was learned and nobody was hurt.

Trust me, I know Im an idiot. Cant kick myself in the ass enough. No one is perfect though and people make mistakes..Thats life. Can anyone give me some options on upgraded axles? Might as well upgrade them.. Also you guys think I should buy 2 new wheels? or find some aftermarket?

Haha...yea the cop stationed at my school rear ended someone texting while driving (he was off duty at least).


Sam, you should get some stage 2 axles and aftermarket rims. mmmmmmm Black 19" with a huge chrome lip. (well at least some 18") BTW, let me know if you go see it some time soon, I'd like to go check it out. I can give you a ride to the dealer if you need it.

I'm really glad you brought this up, because it makes me chuckle every time I hear someone say this. If your talking on the phone, hands free or not, your eyes on are on the road. Granted the major distraction is the conversation. If its a bad conversation you'll usually become distracted but with some will power you could easily focus.

Now lets say your using your uber sweet iPod which you over paid for. You got on preppy clothes trying to impress the girls in your uber sweet Cobalt. But wait, you can't pick up chicks listening to Ludacris - Hoe. So you quickly grab your iPod and got to find that song that will get the ladies to look, something new and exciting. You know what to pick, Soulja boy. So look down to grab your iPod and you start searching through your list of 20,000 songs. Man this could take a few minutes because you stole all of your music off the internet and its labeled track something or other, just like half the songs on your iPod. So you start picking and choosing random tracks realizing you can't find it. All the while your driving on the wrong side of the road nearly missing cars. Before you know it theres a corner and your still looking for Soulja boy. Bam you crash your ultra sweet car. You get out to survey the damage to find a few nice looking girls laughing at you. Then just to make it worse, you realize you haven't even put Soulja boy on your iPod yet.

You tell me whats worse, a phone call or finding a song on your iPod.
