    Darkside,

    that may be a pic of my liquid red GXP I totalled may 1st, it did have splashguards, flowmaster exhausts with twin tailpipes welded on, and I crushed the rear passenger seat area on the driver's side, messed up both doors on the driver's side, ripped off the front driver's side wheel and ripped the rear clip off,where'd you find the pic? I know it was up for an insurance auction awhile back. May be, may not be mine, and it did make me cry, put me in a coma for 3 days. The tires I had on the car were incorrect for the way I used the car, I should have had all season performance tires as I will rarely take it to the track and do use it as a daily driver. I was going the speed limit, just hit some water and lost control, hit a raised driveway, flipped the car, landed on some trees and came to rest upright, I was knocked out completely. They said I was snoring when they pulled me out and was trying to fight the EMT's. Had to strap me down to the gurney with four straps. I'll make a full recovery, I'm about 80-90% now. Everything that happens to you externally you can take steps to prevent, although technically not my fault, I knew the tires were no good in the rain and should have replaced them with all-seasons sooner as they're more conducive to my applications for the car. I purchased it 2/28/09, totalled 5/1/2009. After a closer look, that has to be mine, I unscrewed the whip antenna, and it is missing from the pic, unless it somehow was unscrewed during the wreck or someone took it off it has to be mine as it doesn't look like the whip was broken off. Here's a frontal pic of my wreck:

    ...
    Summer only bridgestone potenzas which were fine when dry out, but horrible in the rain/snow or when It was wet out, even before the wreck I remember it was difficult keeping the car connected to the pavement when it was anything but warm and dry out. I didn't used to put much stock in a what tire to put on the car other than speed rating, now I will.
