Yes it was. It may be worth pointing out that I received a sealed invitation
to the tour and you did not.
Since you don't know me, didn't ride with me or know anything about the
capabilities of my humble 80's car, it's possible you may be making some
incorrect assumptions.-Bob

Koenigsegg CCX Loses Control in Long Island

With no ABS or traction control, you better be confident in your driving ability to take one of these powerful Swedish machines on the road.Well, confidence doesn't always equal aptitude, as a local car collector located in Long Island, New York, area found out recently. While piloting his supercar last Saturday night, it would appear that he just couldn't handle the thing.
The result was a trip straight into the woods. We can see that there was an impact on the passenger's side door and the area towards the front wheel.The crash took place near Syosset, by Berry Hill Road and Rodeo Drive. When you can accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds and hit a top speed of over 200mph, you ought to be wary of those intersections.

A lot of people hire me to do suspension work on their cars.
Plenty of people have read suspension articles which I wrote.
A lot of people hire me to do suspension work on their cars.
Lowering is only part of what I do.
Some people lower a car for car shows and for "the look".
Some people lower a car for performance.
All my personal suspension work......including lowering, is done to improve
my personal cars grip in the turns. People who have ridden with me know
more about a car's grip than people who haven't ridden with me.
Lowered-looking cars attract the attention of the cops in some places.
When people (including the cops) look at my car it does not appear to
be 3" lower.
For years, people at the meets which I go to have seen the photographic
proof that my car is 3" lower than stock. Meets are listed in TR's Local Events.
When intelligent people don't understand something they ask questions to
learn and get smarter.
When stupid people don't understand something, they criticize it,
ridicule it, and don't get one bit smarter. Maybe it is intended that
stupid people remain stupid.
If people ask a question at the meets for information, they will know more
than people who ask an internet question to ridicule something they don't
understand. Suspension articles can be read in TR's Chassis and Suspension.

ok ok ok had some coffee, and read it.
plenty of people read your shit because its fkin hilarious.
you have an 80s accord. You lowered it for looks, and still dont have them.
Nobody needs photographic proof your car is lowered, nobody cares.
If your implying im stupid, and will remain stupid, then I need a couple hours to come up with the word for you.
And dont say I dont understand. You cut springs, your opinion is null.
Also, dont tell me meet info is in the local event forum. I know. I dont post dumbass threads about meets in general car chat.
Maybe your right tho, maybe I dont understand. I guess ill have to sell my coils and come by your shop to get the desired grip.

I would wager that 'crazy old man' knows more about cars than most 'car guys' in here.. i dont understand why people hate on him so much because he posts in the wrong section.
And I know the man personally, im not one of these bandwagon guys or a TRoll trying to fuel the fire.
