Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Damn Mike, this sucks. How did she end up hitting you at that weird angle instead of straight? I would guess if she bumped you straight on the damage would have been less significant, no?

Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today
My guess is after she got rear-ended she jerked the wheel to the right to try and avoid hitting the priceless exotic high powered irreplaceable German super car in front of her. That's what I would have done.Kalashnikov wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:18 am Damn Mike, this sucks. How did she end up hitting you at that weird angle instead of straight?

Oh! I was trying to say it like "what a super car" yeah... that's the ticket.

Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today
My prior pride and joy was totaled due to a rear end collision. It always sucks to see someone go through this, especially on a car that we all agree can be emotionally priceless. Others will never understand that side of it.
Best wishes on getting this whole thing resolved

Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today
Thanks, all. Kalash, she almost hit me first, so she braked and turned to the right and stopped short of me by a few inches. The guy behind her, i think he was texting and hit her at a pretty good speed.
