Qman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Some people have cars and some people go through some things that make their cars more like friends. This is how my friend started out... Bought it at auction for $1400.00 and drove it on the trailer. Then to this... Many rallycrosses and adventures later I have grown to trust this "car" with my life. Finally... My daugther was driving in a rallycross. One bad corner with too much speed and time stopped as I watched her and her friend go over. The single scariest moment in my life. But, my friend kept her and her friend safe and uninjured. I have some other pics I will add as well to show how much these cars can actually handle. Goodbye friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The single scariest moment in my life. and understandably so! I know how you feel. boy was it hard to watch my Chuxwagon leave, especially knowing that the guy that bought it crashed his last sooby into a fence post :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 That's tough. At least everybody was okay. I've come to regard my rigs in much the same light...I trust my Legacy more than I trust most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmiller Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 wow, i remember seeing you and your sooby at many a ORG rally cross events. Its a sad day when a sooby dies. But at least it made the sacrifice and kept everyone safe and unharmed. What's the next project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondasucks Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Man that sucks, but I'm glad your daughter and her friend are okay, cars are a whole lot easier to repair than people, and unlike people, they can be replaced. (looks like a lot of parts are still good too, so your next rally project might be cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txakura Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 many thoughts here, the kids are ok, the car looked really cool after all your work and even though it's gone now, it's been 'immortalized' in a magazine? that's like one major bummer and two happy endings can't beat that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
