lol so yesterday i got a tax rebate and was super happy, Planned on going out clubbin tonight but yeah its my luck when i get a bit of money around me something bad happens.
Last night i was racing around town against a nissan skyline in my civic and i was giving it all becuase the nissan is an awesome car for racing, it just drifts around the corners and there is a sharp corner in the town and i took it at speed so as i was half way around i downshifted into 2nd and boom, car slows away down, later to find i blew a diff and broke my drive shaft in two.
Need a new drive shaft and a gear box now.
My civic.

That has nothing to do with luck. You raced your car like an idiot and you got what you deserve. Be glad you didn't crash and kill someone in the process.

If he killed himself than he only has himself to blame, he lives with his decisions. If he takes away someone else's life just because he wanted to prove he can drive fast.. thats something not many people can live with.

i lol'ed.
And yeah, that is pretty much the definition of owned. If you wern't illegally street racing, your car would be fine and you would be able to spend the money on yourself.
And omg, i sound like my father.

i raced it like an idiot?, iam was against a nissan skyline i had to push my car to stay close. i only broke the drive shaft becuase i had a close to full lock left, put too much strain on the arm and when i downshifted the car took off.
It was 3-4am, whos out to kill?
Grimjaw wrote:So how much would this be setting you back financially?
hmm not sure, like 150-200 for the drive shaft, 500-800 for the gear box and like 200-300 to get it fitted 1300 GBP or like 2500$

Trust me if you got a 2007 honda civic 2.0 vtec for free you'd drive it.

i really like you and all but i must say that racing is pretty stupid, it really is around the top of my very stupid things people do list. i used to race bikes ( not on the street ) and ya is fun but not really that amusing/needed.
btw awesome car

This is your chance to buy better aftermarket parts so this doesn't happen again, incase another skyline rolls up and you have the urge.

In euro there are skylines, not a ginormous amount but they are out there.
It isn't like the USA where they are banned...

honda makes good cars and the honda civic is a great car, but not for racing.
