Tonight i was at ocharleys just hangin out with arron meyers and coughorn. When i left i pulled out,got up to bout 45 or so, just normal driving, and this asshole is in my lane. It happened really quick, but i think he pulled out, not real sure if he was just fuckin cruising my lane head on or what, all i saw was damn headlights. To make a long sad story short, i dodged the human dick, and thru the car over a curb into a light pole ass first. I want to say that THIS FUCKING SUCKS ASS! The car is at randys customs awaiting an estimate (i do have full coverage). The bodykit and lowenhearts are done.:( If things turn out ok it will be more badass than ever, if not well......
Now I know that some of you could not give a bigger shit, but i want to personally thank all of the people that i know will always have my back. Jeremy B, Bub, and everyone else who called to see if i was ok. Thanx shirk for gettin out of bed and coming to the scene. Arron meyers thanx man you were right there to hook a nizzle up when he needs a hand.(i was so tore up afterwards i physically could not drive the car, arron did) Matt get ready to cash out on me cuz u got some work to do. Dad i luv ya and i dont tell ya enough, you have ALWAYS been there to help me out..... but as it stands now................here we go one more fuckin time. il keep u all posted.

I want to second Van Hellion's thank you. (See Need Help Post) I am proud to be friends with such a great group and I am very thankful you all are my son's friends. Andy was not hurt, the Supra will rise again. Now, you know why, "Jack loves the kids"

that's some bad news, but at least you are ok. the supra can be rebuilt bigger and better (it isn't totalled is it?), but at least you and meyers weren't hurt. sorry to hear, but hopefully it will work out for the best (and very well could.) good luck, let me know if you need anything.

It was Jason Akers car, TT auto. He wrecked going down
Kingston Pike(down in Sequoia Hills area) late one night. It had just started raining, He lost control of it thru a corner, where they had just done some repaving, and spun it into a pole.
He was used to AWD cars, he had previously owned a number of
AWD DSMs, so he hadnt quite gotten used to the whole RWD thing.
He has sold it, quite some time ago.
The catch.... it wasnt insured, so it has a clean title if it is ever put back together.

jackofthewood
02-15-2003, 09:55 PM
I do not like the title of this post. RIP is reserved for the dead.


The Supra is not dead. For those that did not understand me
THE SUPRA IS NOT DEAD

Yes it is scrached. But lets take my view of the car.

The seats did their job. They secured the driver during the tramatic event. The body kit, provided crush zones which protected the body of the car and more especially the driver. The wheels and tires withstood the impact and did not fail( ie: they drove home) The exhaust took a beaten but remained intact. The car itself survived, the body survived. and most important, the driver survived. McDaddy Point: Build it right, build it solid, build it to survive. Quality parts, Quality work = Quality life. Supras were designed to be race cars. Look at the above pictures. He did walk away right.

Trust me! The Supra will be back.!

Some cars were built to drive, A Few Were Built For The Driver.

From looking at the car it is not that bad.Andy made it out to be worse than it was when I talked to him on the phone.Im glad it wasnt worse than it is and knowing Andy and Jack I know that car will be back bigger and better than it was before.

jackofthewood
02-15-2003, 10:11 PM
Dave 2, he scared the living shit out of me that night. At least on the Dragon he said, Dad, we were showing our asses. This time he was not and could have been hit head on. Thats the only thing about the Supra's that bothers me, they are so low. At least they have a long hood before the drivers capsule.

Don't misunderstand me, Van Hellion is still the reason I support abortion! But I love that little shit!

dave2
02-15-2003, 10:44 PM
Yeah luckily he was paying attention instead of watching tv.The cars are low but most cars these days are.Of course one good thing about it being the supra instead of the explorer is the explorer might not have handled as well and he might have hit head on instead of the ass end.

Yeah, he did evetually. Like i said he was in the hospital for a while, but he is living a normal life for the most part. Since the accident comprimised the passenger compartment, driver side no less, his injuries were somewhat severe. But he did live through it, and again owns an AWD DSM(92 Laser I believe)

element217
02-16-2003, 02:03 AM
If the car drove home, its easily fixed.

Jason woke up in the hospital and DID NOT walk away from that wreck. I will say a supra is a pretty sturdy car though.



stephen

jackofthewood
02-16-2003, 04:34 AM
I am glad Jason survived. I knew he was hurt but not to that extent. I am still very, very impressed with the design of the Supra, its abilities, and almost how they were built with modification in mind. I watch a lot of Speedvision and I still see a lot of Supra's running in their class. Like I have said before, I never knew they existed until Andy showed me one at NOPI several years ago. I've grown a little attached to them now and can spot then where ever I go, and if you are not in Knoxville, you rarely, rarely see one.

My friend Howard rolled his 95 Supra TT a few years back, 7 times while go through the twisties of his hometown in WV. He came out without a scratch. He ended up buying another Supra after that one was totaled.

Hua
02-17-2003, 05:06 AM
While I like the Blitz look, it is really old school.

Rear fenders would be ok if they didn't have those huge rear vents, it's a little too extreme with the vents for a street car.

The TRD kit just accentuates the car so well, and IMO, it sorta "completes" the car should you ever sell it. It will be more appealing to buyers.

jackofthewood
02-17-2003, 05:08 AM

Then I try to influence Andy. So, thats the reason I like to know what other people think that do not suffer from my problems. You are right, it really don't make a tick's turd difference what you or anyone else likes because it belongs to Andy, shit it really don't matter what I think. But, I still think its nice to hear other opinions. Well I better take my medication and I have a electro shock therapy scheduled in a few minutes.

Andy said he sold it for $65,000.00 I think. Not bad! Andy will get the combination he wants. He waited forever for that Blitz. It was fun but ""if the world gives you lemons, Make Whiskey Sours!"" So fate gave us leomons the other night.
Thats a McDaddy original quote!

element217
02-17-2003, 09:34 PM
I BELIEVE Kevin sold that car for around $55k. As for the fitment of that kit, I thought it looked nice from a distance but you could almost stick your hand through the gap in the hood and side fenders. I am honestly not sure if Kevin was ever totally happy with all the money he spent on that widebody and having it put on.

and 19x13s is what you need in the rear.

AND buy the kit from Mani if you decide on that one. The key would be to have a custom wide body kit done, so handle it.

sweet jack im looking foward to the wide body

Hua
02-19-2003, 03:02 AM
The only part wrong on Kevin's car was the fitment of the hood which gave gaps between the fenders.

It also peaked up in one corner.
But my friend Howard who has the genuine TRD hood, also has fitment problems with the hood peaking in one corner.

Personally I think the gaps could have been closed up if they played with the mounting of that fender a little more.

Other than the hood, the kit is flawless. I spent several hours cleaning that thing from every angle just about. I'm a pretty picky person and notice small details/imperfections.

Hua
02-19-2003, 07:02 AM
He only got 18x9 and 18x10s. +22 offset to get the fat lips.

Mani is the person who actually has a contact with someone who is making the kits at Technocraft (TRD). Mani is the one supplying MVP.
$4,750 from Mani
$4,500 from MVP
However if you just ask him if he can do it for $4,500 I am sure he will. If you need his email addy lemme know.

A hood is a hood, it's not like it's wider than the stock hood.

Thanks Bubba, Shirk, Matt and Jeremy for the calls of concern.

Damnit I knew I should have studied for those medical test. I will be going next week to have more. The good news is with a head to toe scan they did not find the "C". Bad news is I have torn something somehow. Now we got to find out what and fix it. I hate it when they say " we will discuss therapy" thats Doctor talk for " we gonna cut your ass wide open". I guess me and the Supra need a new body kit. I don't need to be any wider though. Thanks for all your thoughts. Keep you updated. Maybe if I beg they will make small cuts and not big ones.

If you are looking for the replica TRD kit still, Mani from Drift-Motorsports is the only person in the USA who can get them in from his contact at TRD Technocraft in Japan.

However GTP/Importfan has been trying to make replicas of a replica, their TRD knockoff kit is cheaper, but the fiberglass is very thin, and their parts don't fit well for anyone in the Honda/Acura market.

$4,500 is going to be the best price you'll find for a kit that came in from Mani.

Hey Jack, its Nikki, i met you up at Jeremys a few weeks ago. I'm glad that everything came back ok on your tests, even if there is still more to find out... even if you have to deal with therapy, at least the problem seems fixable. Just keep a good outlook, which i dont think you will have too much a problem doing. :) Hope to see you again soon!

Thanks Nikki, you're a sweetheart. They may have to do a few things but outlook is good and McDaddy will be back as good as new. The timing of this sux. Right when you have a lot to do, tag you it and time out for me. However, I am fortunate to have a lot of good friends. Hope to see you all soon.

Item for sale: I was out in the garage today avoiding boredom and found that I still have a brand new set of seat sliders to mount aftermarket seats to a Supra and others. I paid out the ying yang to get these overnited because we thought they did not ship any with Andy's seats. I had both passenger and driver. If anyone is interested I will let them go for a song. Remember I also have stock headlights and tail lights, exhaust, rotors, and assorted other stock parts dirt cheap. Thanks.

This is the "BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL" before I start listing. I figure if I have to have surgery, I will have lots of time to ebay. I just wanted to give all the kids a dirt cheap chance. Thank bubba.

You know as I face this week and not knowing whats going to happen, I thought that from time to time we need to be reminded that no matter what happens it could be worse.

So for my own sanity, for Andy and his wreck, to Stephen and his motor, to Redzx95 and his wreck, to Sparky with the broke arm, and to all of you, where things have not gone just right lately, remember it could be worse!

OK Guys, the Doctor called today and I have to have two more medical test next week on Monday and Wed. at Mission St. Joseph Hospital. They suspect I have torn something loose and caused the infection. ( I just can't help playing like a kid) Any way the test don't sound like much fun but we"ll get through it. I will let everyone know as I do. When this shit is over and fixed, the Party is on McDaddy to celebrate. By the way, got word today the Supra will be fixed, stand by for things to come.
