Bye Bye Skyline

[LOVE2XLR8]

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick message to let you all know that I am buying a Honda Civic.

I wrote off my car last night and it made me realise there is just too much power in that car for me. So no more Skyline.

Just like to thank those of you who helped me out with my last accident. I have received nothing but support from everyone here at the forum.

I still think that Skylines rock. Everybody please stay safe.

[MirKz]

thats sad to hear... but go the Civic... !!!

(i used to want one before i decided to get a skyline, i only changed my mind because i figured i might aswell get a more powerful car for the same price range and plus civic is FF )

hope your alright after your accident. mind sayin how it happened?

(P.S. why dont you just get a Naturally Aspirated skyrine... like mwa!... tis about 100kw less power than a turbo, still puts out a bit of a punch i think, can still beat S@$tbox VL's etc ahaha)

[LOVE2XLR8]

I have promised my parents I'd get a "normal car" this time and the Civic is a great little car for the price.

As for how it happened... I was learning how to drive my car safely on the way home last night. I was learning how to take corners without losing it. My boyfreind kept telling me to take each corner really slowly to just learn the correct lines to take etc. But I got a little carried away. At that point a Commodore came around the corner the other way taking it wide. My boyfriend kept telling me to brake and slow down but at that point I'd lost it. Over counter steered.

Could have been a lot worse. Smashed into a wire fence and a shipping container. There were poles everywhere. Could have been killed. Can't move my neck - whip lash. The Commodore was gone by the time I'd even started to lose it so luckily they weren't hurt and I didn't hit them.

Thats why I'm getting a Civic.

woah sad to hear. glad you are ok though

[MirKz]

ahh fair enough, ive over counter steered before when i had a commonwhore, completely lost it. glad to hear your mostly okay though.

and yeah civic is a damned nice looking car, what year are you lookin at ? (i personally like the 1996-2000 models the best. but thats my opinion.)

get VTEC!

best of luck with finding a new car. and we hope ya still keep talkin to us ere on SAU!

[LOVE2XLR8]

Course I will keep talking to you guys! You are all legends here at SAU. My Skyline was just like yours by the way... same colour and everything but mine had pearl white rims.

[LOVE2XLR8]

And was Turbo.

Prob get a 1994 or 95. Don't want to spend too much on it. Get a nice stereo and some dark tint. No other mods necessary!

[Nizmo]

What HP was that thing making then?? cos i find the Skyline a lot more stable around the corners than my first car my ZX was .... had a couple of close calls in that .... threatened to trade it for a Suburu Liberty more because of servicing costs than power but decided i would be bored with it.

Anyway sad to hear about your car ..... if your more ocmfortable with a Honda Civic then thats probably best Good luck.

[Nexus_SiX]

Sorry for the sad news,

but if your sig is anything to go by you should be as strong a s an ox

[RadiuM]

naughty naught Rebecca..

good luck with your new car.

Shaun

[gtrken]

Wow , that didn't last long... :Oops:

2 crashes in a few months which is a shame.

Maybe you should have done some advanced driving courses

But glad to see your alive and able to post

But a Honda civic....

Puhleeze , don't do it..

Cheers

Ken

[MirKz]

Ken shhh.. nothing wrong with a Civic. ( they look bomb with a phatt kit on it lowered bling bling rims etc etc )

ahah

just cus mine is a non turbo doest mean its not powerful... well sorta does but its still very nice. And i actually feel very safe and comfortable driving my car. I feel i can control it fairly well (better than my last 2 cars.... although i dont do stupid things in this car like i did the others .. like doin a snakey in the wet etc etc... )

[LOVE2XLR8]

Thanks Shaun.

I think a Civic would be good. I was going to go back to the faithful Carolla but thought I'd try something new.

[NO_RSPECT]

hey rebecca, what high school did you go to.

I am sorry to hear about the accident. kinda messes with your head for quite a while after, emotionally and physically in your case

sad to leave such a nice car in the junk pile.

I still have no skyline withdrawal now i sold mine.

enjoy the civic though they are competent vehicles and nicely put together so yeah have fun

[jmp]

heh ascot .. I went to Belmont High. The beast of a school oh yeah!

Oh and sorry to hear about the accident Hope everything pans out ok for you and insurance covers etc (If you have it!)

[fane]

dont worry too much as long as you and everyone else is ok bec, i saw you drive past a while ago and its a nice car. but when it comes down to it, thats all it is. Its just a car... your not your car and you dont need it to live on and enjoy life... just keep you health...

we are all happy you are safe,

good luck with the civic... go the rice

[GTRboy]

GO THE CIVIC!!!!!!!!! yah another owner of the marvolous car, not as good as a skyline, but a nice little goer....

[ix9]

Daym, bad luck Rebecca.... these things happen huh.

I'm thinking insurance for a Civic would be another reason, after having written off your previous car

[zanda]

Ken shhh.. nothing wrong with a Civic. ( they look bomb with a phatt kit on it lowered bling bling rims etc etc )

ken is the wrong person to try and sell this on....his "ricer" was an r32 gtr that would bash most cars upside the head for having the gall to claim to be rice.

[LOVE2XLR8]

Haha thanks for tha support guys. Is a shame and hopefully insurance will cover.

The reason I'm going a Civic is because I don't want another car that I can kill myself in, but I like to feel a bit of power underfoot. I can make it look nice but keep hte engine stock. No rice thank you very much (I'd just finished getting all the rice OFF my car) but some dark tint and nice rims would be nice. Anyone hear of a good Civic for sale please let me know.

PS Guess I'd better change my user name. I'm not using the LOVE2XLR8 plates anymore!!
