Laptop toatlled...and EP totalled :'(

[old crusty]

What a shitty combo, right? Well my laptop decided to get some viruses and these viruses deleted everything. I have no back screen, no icons, and no start bar. My iPod was connected and now says there no music so i think it deleted everything (im not a computer guy so idk).

But now to the EP :'(. I live in SD and i rains like 7 days a year and the day before i noticed that my rear tires had like 10% tread. DGAF i live in SD. Well it rained and this happened...

We had just gotten on the freeway and my car was swerving back and forth. My friend was freaking out saying "lets go get my car lets go get my car." I told him its fine. My car wasnt catching traction and at that point i was like "alright we can get your car." Right when I said that my car started going right, i was turning left, it kept going right and....

We were facing the guard rail when we hit it. The air bags deployed and it felt like we were spining for hours. We hit the gaurd rail again and bounced into the middle of the freeway. We both quickly jumped out and cars had to swerve around us so i jumped back in and was able to coast it to the side of the freeway. My friend cut his head open and had blood pooring down his face. He was rushed to the hospital where he had 2 staples put in his head.

That was 2 weeks ago. My friend is Healed up and the EP is totalled. I bought a 3000gt awhile back as a fixer uper, but just wanted to sell it but now its my DD


So now.... What should i get? I still plan to sell the 3kgt and want to get something and need help with my options.
I would prefer it be:
-4 cyld
-4dr
-RWD or 4 or AWD (anything excapt front lol)
Any Ideas????

Oh man, sorry for your loss. And hope you and your friend did not sustain any serious injuries other than the ones described.

[CuStOmMaDe]

damn that sucks sry to hear about bout ur laptop and ep ):
I know what you mean about spinning forever i did that in the mountains with my friend in his explorer hit sudden ice and right into the rail.
Glad you friend is okay as well
and for the next car i say WRX

[widebodyeg]

im glad you guys are ok, the EP doesn't look that bad. you should just fix it

[EPSU3]

Glad you're okay. Get yourself an S4 or an M3. If you can afford to maintain them. WRX isn't bad either. AWD cars are fun

[old crusty]

The pics dont show it but the car was banged up really bad. My car was lowered and the guard rail went right over the rebar. The engine was badly damaged, the door stuck out about an inch up top,...it was just bad. But i was actually wanting something a little older like a datson b510 or like an old ass VW bug haha

[ShadowEP3]

sorry for youre loss OP..California weather ftl



how much are you looking to spend on your next car?

[old crusty]

probably only like $8000. im kinda wanting to buy a car old enough to not need somg and just engine swap it, but that could turn out to be a lot of work

[emsep]

what about a 240z i always had a soft spot for them.

[Coleycoaster]

sti's are pretty badass for the record. 4 door and 4wd :)

Anything you can walk away from = Win.

So many EP's saving their owners' lives...I feel a lot safer now with my second car, seeing as my first one('95 Riviera) was so safe it broke the crash testing machinery.

Go for a WRX and put an exhaust on. Can't go wrong with that. For less money though, you could get a scion xB and turn it into a track toaster. Stiffen up the suspension, lower it, maybe tweak around with the engine, and it would be fun and quirky although FWD.
