Thursday night, my girlfriend was driving my car and she hit black ice and drove straight into a ditch :o I actually knew about 30 seconds before she called in tears. The important thing is that she is ok, the rotten thing is it was my car... which was already supposed to be away - just waiting for the dyno tune. :( It wasn't really her fault, she is a good driver, but she... like most ppl likely... didnt' know what to do when the car wouldn't react to the driver inputs.
Anyway, don't know the extent of the damage yet, several thousand assuming there is no major mechanical damage. Unfortunately the ditch was deep and began to rise back up exactly where the nose dove in... so I'm a little worried about the car being bent... we'll see, the shop has the laser equipment to determine if it's out at all. I went down to the shop on Friday to take some pics so I will post them if I can my connection at home fired back up. Otherwise I'll just post them later.
Needless to say, there is no dyno sheet to post other than our base tunes. I was to be at the dyno just two days after the accident. I am going to work hard this week on getting another car in there for tweaking so we can post some numbers for those interested.
PM me if you are near Milton, have an SVT and would like a deal on some dyno tuning... list your mods in the message
Well that's it I guess... extremely sad. I feel as though I have a child in the hospital :(

:( ..I know how it feels to wreck a car. I owned a 91 jetta GTX (GLI) when I was in college, spent every dime I had on the thing it was my pride and joy. Then one night someone tried to run the advance green while I was already going through the intersection....it was a 'write-off'. To top it off the cop who arrived on the scene gave ME a ticket for running a red. I ended up fighting it in court and won. These things happen man, important things is your girl's ok.
