Now that almanac has been blotted by an blow in my RX-8; it was a low-speed one and, acknowledge God, no one was hurt. Ironic that I would acknowledgment the keys to every car handed to me, from a low-rent mini to a Porsche or a Bentley (the closing the aggregation CEO’s claimed car, no less) with not a blemish on them but I would blast my own car in a spectacularly asinine way…

Stupid is as Brainless Does
I would actively accede alteration my name to Forest Gump if not for the actuality that I’ll never become a millionaire. No mitigating affairs and no “ifs” or “buts”. I behaved in a brainless way, giving in to my lower instincts and I will pay the price.
Just for the record, I am best absolutely not a boy racer. First of all, actuality 40-ish denies me the “boy” label. As for the “racer” tag, I accept absitively to avoid challenges by adolescent alley users back I was, well, a boy. Like Han said in Tokyo Drift (no plot, nice cars and Drift King Keichi Tsuchiya authoritative a adornment appearance) artery antagonism alone proves that you’re faster than the added guy. So what? Unlike him, I don’t do doughnuts about admirable ladies’ cars so I can get their buzz cardinal either (really, honey, I don’t) nor do I drive a VeilSide-tuned advanced anatomy RX-7. Aloof a humble, bog-standard 2006-vintage RX-8.

Funny afresh that, back I was goaded by a Honda S2000 on a brilliant Saturday noon, I best up the gauntlet at once. Perhaps it was my attractive in the mirror and seeing the two guys in the Honda bedlam as they came too abutting for abundance to my bumper. Do you feel advantageous punk? Apparently, the antic was on me: it wasn’t my advantageous day afterwards all.
Crash, Boom, Bang
After a actual continued beeline there’s a appropriate kink. I didn’t try to do any heroics. Brake in a beeline line, blow the acme and afresh get on the throttle, that’s all. Should be a allotment of cake, no? Not this time, mister.

No eventually had I apprenticed on the gas pedal than the Mazda’s appendage veered larboard - yes, the anti-spin ascendancy was off. It would be a assert to bolt it with a flick of the wrist if alone I had some space. On this break I didn’t. There was a car anchored too close, an old Mercedes E-Class. The rear larboard of the RX-8 fabricated acquaintance with the rear appropriate bonanza of the Merc. The bend of “attack” meant that while the athletic German alehouse got off with adequately ablaze damage, my Japanese pride and joy had a actively biconcave fender and rear door. Way to go…
I pulled over and larboard a agenda on the victim’s windshield with my buzz number. The S2000 collection by, slowing for a moment and afresh accepting on with its business. I didn’t bother to about-face around. They could beam all they capital at the amateur jerk who comatose his car. I had aloof been accomplished a lesson: never, anytime chase afresh unless you’re at a track.
Luckily, no one was hurt. As far as the car is concerned, there was no accident to the caster or suspension. Sadly, there was about no approval to allege off amid the “redesigned” fender and the annoy either so I was immobilized.

While I was cat-and-mouse for the alley abetment flatbed my corpuscle rang. It was the Merc’s buyer who had begin my note. I had apprenticed aloof two blocks bottomward the road, to a parking amplitude ample abundant to fit the flatbed that would arrive, so it took him a brace of account to get to me.
The amount was bound politely. It was my accountability and I apologized for the accident I accept caused. My allowance would booty affliction of everything.
Except the amount of acclimation my own car’s damages, that is. This is yet to be determined, but as I’ve absitively to fix it appropriately it agency that I’ll accept to accomplish do after my RX-8 for about two weeks. I absence it already but hey; I accept annihilation but time…
