So i thought I'd update on the situation of my car, or Seans old cars twin (that sounds weird).
So two weeks ago, my sister was driving it to school, since I was forced out of my share of the car to pay for mechanics bills stemming from the coolant leak caused by a stupid mechanic. In dry weather, no ice, not even that cold, she takes a turn too fast and drives it straight into a ditch.
Thats the simplified version. Technically, heres what happened. She went a around a downhil right-hand corner, going too fast. The back of the car fishtails. She freaks, punches the gas and holds the wheel. Drives it towards the ditch. She hits it fortunately where a driveway intersects the road. Unfortunately, there is a rockery on the side of the driveway. She hits this head on with the car. In doing so the front suspension of the car buckles back into the firewall, pushing the wheels back so far into the wheelwells that the rims get deformed. The car keeps traveling, with two wheels almost on the road and the other two in midair, above the rockery. The car is now at about a 45% tilt, gapping the ditch, leaning towards the road. The rockery runs out about 20 feet later. There are indications that the tires touched the ground on the top of first rockery a few times, but the speed of the car pretty much kept it airborne.
The first rockery has now dropped down. A second rockery now starts, at a slightly higher level than the first. However, because of the speed of the car, it doesnt hit this rockery and flip, but instead continues on, ontop of this rockery with the right side wheels. This angle proves too much for the left side though, and it slips down into the ditch, crumpling the drivers side of the car against the road side of the ditch. The tires slide off the rockery on the left, bringing down a lot of rock with it.
The car finally comes to a rest in the ditch, leaning on its left side. The frame has distorted in all of the action, and the roof has ripples and significant gaps in the molding. However, the car has not flipped and amazingly, the suspension has not punched throguh the firewall into the car. The driver door (Just replaced after some dumbass backed into it in seattle) is now once again ruined. The front wheels are so badly set back into the frame that they no longer rotate, and the car must be lifted back to the shop. My sister sustained no injuries, and doesnt remember much of the accident.
Back at the shop I finally saw my car... Completely fucking shot. I removed my sound system and my cd case, gave back the key.... We sold the car to the mechanic, a friend who rebuilds things (Currently working on a 57 chevy soft top, refurbishing completely witha v8 for $200,000) for $500, after $4000 of work to make the car drivable (and in no way safe).
The end result: My parents buy my sister a 2002 Jetta this week. So much for a ride to the mountains this week, and another great example of how older siblings get fucked royaly.

I heard about that rowen, I'm so sorry to hear it. I guess that shows how unlucky that car is. Curse of the 98 Impreza.
At least she is ok, it sounds like it was aweful.
I too crashed my car. The WRX. Hit a ice rink in the parking lot at Kevin's, just while I was parking!!! Hit the support for the covered parking going maybe 5mph, cracked my bumper a bit. Could've been much worse though.

Havn't worked with solidworks yet, I'm not sure I have to for my major... but PROE is pathetic, CATIA is brilliant

oooh, well done damo.
Solidworks is like the sesame street of CAD, sure it does everything, but its very childish. I still haven't used CATIA, a friend has it, I need to get it from him once I get my new computer. I used Unigraphics NX2 last quarter, its comparible to CATIA.
man, haven't seen this thread in a while. Here's what I've been up to....

STREET RACERS!
some people on nasioc mentioned that no air was going in the scoop too, hahahahaha.
(and those weren't done with any of the cad programs, its a program we have at school called Sub2D, really basic 2D CFD, its pretty shitty, crashes when I try to do viscous solution, fucker)
