natallica Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Just returned home with my nephew and his friend (both 18yrs old) from his first major accident. He missed a stop sign at about 50 MPH in his 91 3000GT SL, tagged a turning motorist on the opposing side and hit a stone wall. Car is now totalled. Just fixed his drivers side turn signal this afternoon, now it's dangling out of the car. Glad the Mitsu held up and protected both 'seatbelt wearing' kids and no one was injured (in either party). http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff408/n8tallica1/Dylans%20Wreck/0201142221-00_zpsa5df4a7e.jpg http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff408/n8tallica1/Dylans%20Wreck/0201142222-01_zps126f1b31.jpg http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff408/n8tallica1/Dylans%20Wreck/0201142220-00_zpsae3e9288.jpg http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff408/n8tallica1/Dylans%20Wreck/0201142229-00_zpsffebba8d.jpg -N8 Edited February 2, 2014 by natallica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natallica Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Stock radio was sold on here by me about a year ago....sorry dude. I think we are however gonna grab the Rockfords/Head Unit/rims and a few other interior items, try to salvage what we can before it's demise. -N8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87redcat Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 OUCH. Glad the kids are ok. I can never say it enough to my 17 yr/old daughter to be careful and pay attention when she goes out driving. And that whole turn signal thing... I know that exact feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidjc Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sorry to hear this N8. Just so thankful that all walked away w/o injury! Dern "stop signs" pop up out of nowhere! Can't really tell... "Air Bags?" (not even sure if they were installed in the 91 mits?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSiTSi Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 3s's are like tanks. They're solid/heavy vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 well it was bound to happen but they are safe and unhurt that's the important thing , the average young person has a wreck with in 2 yrs of first driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I used to read Sport Compact Car Magazine allllllll the time and they always called Mitsubihi car "Heavy". Starions's, 3000GTs, and 2nd Gen Eclipses, especially.There is a reason for that; They are well built. Glad the boys are ok. I bet that is not the 1st time that happned there, hence the wall.
