Default Out of Comission

I'm out of comission, went through a corner and it was sharper than I thought, tried to correct, but hit a patch of gravel and slid into a nicely sized rock last night. Popped my radiator, screwed up my bumper, left front fender, hood, left headlight, and radiator support brace.

Four days, is that some kind of record maybe?


Fix it!

Parts are cheap, turning a wrench is easy.

It was too dark for any pictures to show up. I moved the rock about 2 feet and there were paint chips and coolant and plastic bits everywhere.

How much do you want for them?

It looks ok, but I think it got bent. It might just look that way cause everything else is bent

So I've got an update.
I just took it into a shop in Riverside that supposedly does great work. The AC compressor is shot and the power steering hoses are gone(the whole system might need work) Maybe I'll just go manual I'll know more by tomorrow.

It's kinda hard to see, but that hose I'm holding tore completely through.




The camera wasn't tilted, that's the bumper/radiator.

Just put a band-aid over the gaping hole in the bumper. Chicks dig scars.

Just tell everyone that you kicked Ken Block's ass in a Miata and he got so pissed that he ran his Impreza into your car in spite.

Positive attitudes help when trying to cope with a loss like this.

It'll be back together sooner than you think... I hope.
