My friends and I were driving through the local canyon here (nice and curvy), I always lead the pack cuz I've got the most experience. There were 4 other cars behind me in our little pack, three of which were new to driving the canyon.
once we got enough distance in front of us I took off to hit the curves. I've been through it hundreds of times so i know it like the back of my hand. only seconds after i took off i saw nobody in my rear view. I figured my friend (vtec del sol) had stayed behind with the newbies to watch over them. Then a stranger drives up next to me when i'm pulled over waiting for them to catch up. "Your friend got in a car accident, you better go back there." I nearly crapped my pants. It just didn't feel right having to wait so long for everyone to catch up. I knew something was wrong. So i turned around and sped back. Looking down every corner and turnout for my friends. Then sure enough, there was my friend's 2002 WRX on the side of the road. Front end smashed in, oil and coolant leaking everywhere. Roxanne (the car) was bleeding bad. My friend very fortunately only had a little bruise behind his head from hitting something in the car. He lost control going around a corner and spun out, went through a fence head on and skidded only a foot or two away from a telephone pole. His front end was torn up... looked like hell, but his airbags didn't even come out. Which we all found to be quite strange.
Anyways... it wasn't an integra... but it was a fellow racer. My friend is alive with only a minor bruise so thank God for that, even though his airbags didn't even go off. Anyways, thats my story. No word if its totaled yet but its pretty damn banged up. Time to mourne... another good man(car) down. =(
