Thats for sure. I'm the one who built the car at the start. It's pretty quick. It has a good combo

Hi You should hold on to your car mate.... just turn the boost down !!! Think of this as a lesson..... I'm sure the next time you take to the wheel you will think a little more before putting your foot to the floor.. I know I DID.

You can have a high perforance car without driving like a high performance idiot, it seems you have put alot of time and money into that car be a pitty to let this stop you from realizing your dream.

Just like someone has grabbed you, given you a major shake and so you've realised how lucky you were? A major wake up call. Good luck mate.

Bro i aint hijacking your for sale thread, but as i also know you on a more personal side, i hope your feeling better and all is well, when i found out that you were in a crash i hoped that the worse didnt occur. Good to have you in one piece mate. As for the car, and im sure anyone will agree, it is worth the money your asking, but it also has your name written on it , everything you see is everything you have invested your time, your blood, your sweat and tears into. Dont go selling it for the reasons that you are. Keep it - enjoy it, take it as a learning experience. Some little punk 18 year old mummies boy will buy it, and either blow it up or wrap it. its your car -its your pride - i say stick with it. thats just me tho - bro - all the best and hope your feelin betta -
