well, my car died today....i only had it for half a year, but it was my first car, and i fell in love with it. I had a lot of plans for it and with it....The pavement was wet, I was on my way to school, it seemed like that day was going to be a rainy day with nothing exciting. So I thought until i was trying to merge into the freeway and the RPM suddenly increased...the tranny shifted down into first and we fishtailed...i tried to regain control but the throttle got stuck open and there was absolutely no time to do anything about it....i saw the wall and then my glasses flew somewhere...the engine kept revving up to the rev limiter, it was screaming...it was hurting. i shifted into park and turned off the engine...coolant was leaking out of a hose, which was quickly and easily put back in place later today....my baby is totaled, it hurts just by looking at it. But what caused the throttle to stick open? the computer?, the cruise control unit? was it my own foot? i still don't know but whatever reason....it's on the past already. i got a $725 dollar ticket for not having insurance, and for "going too fast for the conditions" according to the officer. I'll go to court and fight about it, cuz it was an unknown factor what caused the accident. But anyway...I want my baby to live in parts, i want it to help other e32's around. I got a lot of parts, so if anybody needs something, send me a message at alexisdegante@yahoo.com.mx I'm located in Lakewood WA...I don't know what else to say...i feel terrible...
