This morning I crashed and totalled my NSX. I was on my way to work, and it had been raining the night before, and started to come down hard around 0830. I was driving through this long S curve. The curve ends on a bridge, as I was coming on the bridge the rear end started coming from under me. I tried to countersteer but it was of no use. She kept sliding, the front left of the nose hit the inner barrier first and that sent me back and forth between the barriers on the bridge.
Pretty much all panels got banged up except the doors. Front bumper, hood, fenders, quarter panels, rear bumper, trunk lid, broken wheel, looks like broken right rear suspension, and whatever support beams. No windows got shattered, no air bags deployed.
I'm pretty bummed because I was to drive cross country to NC. I just reenlisted in the Marine Corps and got reassigned from KC-130's to Crew Chief on the MV-22 Osprey. I was looking forward to meeting Darrin, as he lives about 40 mins away from my new duty station.
I already know it's gonna be a total loss, so now I have to wait for Geico to settle with me. Hopefully I'll get a fair amount for her, I'll pay off what I owe on her. Now I have to find a new car before Feb 2, since that is when I leave CA. I can't make up my mind on what to get now. If I get a truck/suv I'm thinking Ridgeline for sure. If I get a car, I want a sedan preferably, but not sure what to get. Accord? 3 Series? My dad suggested a 350Z, but if I were to get a sports car, it would have to be another NSX. Anything else would not cut it, no matter how much faster/ more hp it has.
Sorry to inform you NSX VIN T000449 is now out of commission. RIP.
