ahh it happens. Hate it when it does, but oh well....probably never see him again is the way I look at it.

My buddy just bought a 98 GST. The thing is pretty fast... almost stock... he's got a stock turbo with a turbo timer and that's about it.

if he only has a turbo timer then its stock, timer is used to cool down the turbo before shutting off the engine. Instead of looking like a dumbass in your car you can just leave.

well, he found a whole nother way to look like a dumbass.

Apparently a few days ago he was in phillipsburg and went through a stop sign to make a turn and ended up clipping someone's back end.

To his credit, the stop sign was pretty well obstructed by a tree, however, he doesn't have a liscence.... so he's pretty screwed anyway.

that sucks man. have him take some pics of the obstructed sign and maybe he can get off easy.

He's going to.. but the fine for that pales in comparison to the 500-700 + another year suspension for driving without a liscence.

Thankfully the car was insured... unfortunatley he's not on the policy so he can't make a claim for the repairs.

I raced a DSM a while back in my wife's '94 Volvo 850 T-5 wagon from 2'nd gear roll. I could tell he had a big nasty turbo on there but I don't think he had it properly tuned because I rolled him up pretty handily with my wife in the car! I slowed back down after he was back there a way... just incase he wasn't really trying or something. We hit it off again from about 35mph and I immediately pulled 7 or 8 lengths but I was expecting him to come flying up on me with some after some crazy turbo lag... nope! I just stayed in it up to about 120 and he just kept getting further and further back. Dumb kids and their daddy's money! Why buy a huge turbo and not tune for it? Must have been pretty embarrasing to get rolled up by a station wagon, especially when my wife was laughing in his face!
