i would never swerve for an animal and risk my life or any human life. i mean, i would never be drifting my car on public streets. but if a dog ran in front of my car and i had to swerve and possibly crash into someone/something, i wouldn't.

(In which case one would have to wonder how many more times you need to crash before you'll learn you lesson.) Or do you just mean that this is the third time you've wacked into a curb hard enough to do major damage?

Semtex's post is like getting raped with a truth stick. I've never been in a panic situation and thought "yank the fuckin E-brake!!!" I mean, you have to know it reduces your braking ability, right? I'm guessing "attempted" drifting, or donuts. Either way, you're mentally challenged for letting this happen 3 times, and I can't believe you would think we would be supportive of this type of behavior. When the insurance company fixes it, trade it in for something you're less likely to kill yourself (and others) in, preferably with front-wheel-drive.

You know, I was looking at this pic. And I have to say that that's quite a crowd of people for 3AM.

It looks like there is blood spots under the back of the car. Maybe the dog didn't make it after all? That sucks buddy your insurance company must love you. Better luck with number 4.

fixed.

Btw, did you even get the temporary tag off yet? That doesn't look like the Florida plates I'm accustomed to.

I think that IS the temp tag. He just bought the car on Saturday. Which makes this even more of a
