Well today I wrecked my moms 525i Touring :mad: Heres what happend:
A few months ago my mom had the throttle stick wide open but the dealer said they fixed it, well I think that is what happened. I was driving out of the high school after finals, and when I started to turn the car when nuts, the throttle came wide open and I did a huge fishtail and lost controll, I tried to regain controll but failed. I then spun into the other lane, thank god no cars were coming, then spun back across the road and into the ditch across from the high school. A wrecker came and pulled it out and it looks ok but I blew a tire and ripped the back bumper off. The guys from the recker said that the suspension looked ok, but they couldn't tell for sure, but they thought that I might have bent a rim. The car is on the way up to the dealer right now so they can look at it tomorow, but from what I could see there was no major damage.
God my dad is going to kill me :(
btw this is my first post, I have been an avid reader for some time but never got around to registering, but man I needed to vent.
You guys with your m3's and m5's think your cars are fast? You have no idea what speed like that feels like, I now understand what speed really is and will probubly never drive the car again because I dont want that to happen again.
