ok, So normaly I never ever race and am against it, and this just proves why street racing is a bad idea!
Today I was out crusin in my 1988 yellow notchback fiero 5 speed with sunroof.
I pulled up to a light and a few seconds later a orange 1998 or above firebird trans am with ws6 package pulls up next to me. i am in the left lane he is in the right lane.
It has dumb stickers all over it and a punk looking kid was driving.
Of course he looks over and revs at me.
Well not one to normaly be irresponisble I ignore him. He keeps reving at me so I figure what the hell!
I had just had a few drinks before hand and altho when the police arrived i blew a .10 I know my limits and was perfefctly fine to drive. because I know i didn't feel drunk.
My fiero is stock but it has the v6, So I figure I can jump him off the line then just let off real quick.
So the light turns green. we both gas it, I dump the clutch from like 4 thousand rpm's and we both do a slight burnout but I get traction before him and jump in front of him. well by 60 mph he has pulled almost a car length on me. well right then a red c5 corvette pulls out right infront of the firebird from the right and it was to late for the firebird to do anything about it. at first I thought it was a deer. because thats the only thing that can jump come out in front of you while ur street racing. or so I thought. the firebird locks its brakes and skids and slams into the back corner of the corvette and it spins the corvette around in front of me. and i am basicly almost looking head on into the vette I try and swerve out of the way but I locked my breaks a second before and the front right of my fiero clips the front right of his corvette "front left of corvette if you are sitting in drivers seat of vette"
It makes the back of my fiero skid out from behind me sideways and I guess hitting the front of the vette lifted the back of my fiero into the air because the next thing i know i have fliped upside down and am sliding along the pavment for a split second.
everyone was ok. I was able to crawl out of the back window of the fiero because it shatterd when i flipped upside down.
the vettes front bumper was torn completly off from my car hitting it and most of my front right fender is missing
the firebird has front end damage. but it acctuly does not look that bad. the roof of my fiero collapsed in so I guess its a convertable project now. it is also going to need some front end repair and a new paintjob.
the guys vette had his back end torn off. he lost his back left wheel and his front bumper is torn off. I think he got the worst of it. I'm sure it will be deemed salavged and he was the one doing nothing wrong.
of course the cops showed up to take a report. and a firetruck came with some first responders to make sure everyone was ok.
lucky i had my digital camera with me, and amazingly it was not destroyed
I got some pictures of the aftermath of the accident. u can basicly see what happend from the skid marks.
scroll down to see them. This guys is why street racing is so dangerous.
badly torn up fiero scroll down at ur own risk. if u dont want to see a badly damaged fiero do not scroll down!

this is basicly after the police and firetruck had shown up and made sure everyone was ok.


this is before the police or firetruck had shown up.


This is a closer shot of the damage to the corvette and the firebird. as u can tell this accident caused alot of road derbys, I tried to clean some of it up. its the least i can do.


here is another picture of the corvette and firebird from a diffrent angle.


here is a closer shot of the fiero. still upside down.


here is the fiero upside down from another angle. U can see the fender damage clearly in this shot.






<---- copied this from another message board, from a board member called "84fierotrevor" - all the photos and text are his.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I used to love my Matchbox cars. I gave them up though when I started playing with dolls.

woah glad ur ok

DANGER DANGER -- There are over-sized felines looking at your crash site.

Kidding aside, for some weird reason, I cannot read the subject line of your post without singing, "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". I have some serious odd associations.

This is got to be the saddest but funniest thread I've read in a while.


The matchbox re-enactment of the crash has had me giggling for the last ten minutes. I love it.

Can someone tell me where the cats are? I only see one cat.

I love this thread.
Thanks!

I can only take credit for cutting and pasting.

You know what, you may be right regarding there being only one.

The other may be a garbage bag or something, it's just lurking around a cabinet to the side.

From a distance it could be a big white cat. But if you look closely it could be a garbage bag.

They fooled ME, Jerry!

I was about to rag all over your ass for racing a FIERO.

hee hee. fun thread.

There is another black and white cat laying to the left of the first cat, more in the background. He's sort of under the table. If you look at the back end of the firetruck, then look up a bit, there he is...

here ya go:

I don't know if the second one is a cat. Where's the face? And if you notice, the cat hasn't moved in the second photo below while the first cat is sitting up.

cat #2 might be sleeping or is just plain unamused by the crash occurring just feet away from him.

cats are like that.

and his face might be tucked under a paw or something.

The second cat isn't really looking toward the crash scene. So no face visible, he's facing the other cat. Also looks to be behind the base of the table. And I know that there are times when my cats don't move for hours on end... that is why they are fat.

Boy, work must be really exciting when we're sitting here analyzing a photo.

Call me crazy but for some odd reason, I'm obsessed with finding out if that's a cat.

ha.
heck, i'm just as bored....
considering i'm the one who took the time to open the pic and draw on it to point them out.


i think it's a cat.... because of the spots. you can clearly see the kitty cat spots.
that's not bag, i tell ya!

Awesome. you totally had me.

That's obviously Bigfoot. What's wrong with you people?

for the longest time, i thought they were singing "wrapped up like a deuche" [sp?]. when i found out what they were really singing, i decided to stick with my version.

Me too! I had to look that up on a lyrics page to use above, heh.
