2002 Civic SI
Took it under the wires between N and S bound lanes and made it through :frown::

:sad:

Dude, that sucks!

 

[demolition_x]

wires?

 

[tor*p*do]

they run three strands of high tension aircraft cable in the median
between n and s bound lanes on the rural 4 lane highways here
the passenger window pillar saved my life by carrying the bottom wire up over the car
I have since seen lesser cars cut ribbons by these cables
I went under and across the southbound lane after hydroplaning :raincloudn the nortbound side:grumpy:
total loss

Walked away without a scratch
Settled and replaced it with this:
I like the iVTEC:veryhappy:

 

[spence]

aww that sucks dont get really what the wires are but what car u like more

 

[tor*p*do]

wires to the left of the road below
both cars have the same 2.0 l iVTEC motor.
the RSX has bigger rims, better tires, quieter, leather, etc. and is a really nice car
added a 12 inch sub and premier head unit so it has killer tunes
But I still miss my SI when I see one on the road:02:

 

[spence]

ohh thanks for the pic i getchya at first i though like a telephone pole was down or somethin like that

 

[bluegtate]

That sucks bro, I just bought the same little Si for my girlfriend but its a 03. Did you buy the Si back from the insurance company?

 

[tor*p*do]

nah, they total lossed it so I just let it go
it is my daily commuter car so I needed a new one immediately
the RSX rips pretty good :burnout:

 

[jeepmark4x4]

that first car looked like a bean anyway...your second one looks better imo

 

[nightrider05]

Sorry to hear about the wreck but glad to see that you chose another great car! Right now im trying to decide if I want another Integra GSX or if I just want to get a RSX.

I had wondered about those median wires. We have them here too and I remember thinking "Those don't look safe". Guard rails are designed to deflect a car hitting them at an angle. Those wires look super dangerous, and what if you hit the mouting pole? I think they spent more time looking at the budget on those things than the safety of them. Kinda backwards for the DoT.
