repairable!! but id be only worried about the back chassis legs being warped... if thats ok your good to go!! sweet road i must say!!!!!!!
why dont you keep driving this one. save up for another gts hatch no matter the color or shape (engine wise). then do a complete interior swap and engine swap. you dont want your rare black interior to go to waste and your engine. then call pick n pull an they will pick up the car for free. then you can visit it when ever you want at the yard. thats what i would do in your case man. best of luck to you
2 things matt. that really sucks. sorry to hear that. what the hell are you thinking driving in the snow with those tires?
Happy to hear you can keep her! I remember my insurance people saying my car was only worth $500.00 and it was a right off... so I grabbed myself a parts car for a couple bills =D
Wow....glad you're keeping her...she's such a beaut. Hopefully you can work out the dings, but that trunk area's gonna be tricky... BTW how's your leg?
chassis is fine as far as i can tell she drives like she used to just a bad pull to the right, alignment time! and yeah the road is AMAZING!!.... well until you do what i did, i plan on it however my engine will need a re-build eventually so if push comes to shove ill try to keep this one in good shape, no rust and the front end body is completely strait. well i wasn't really thinking, and nor were my two friends also driving with me up in the mountains, we all ended up with body damage, my friend in a golf got hit in a parking lot after we got down the mountain after i slid off and someone rear ended me, my friend in a geo had his exhuast fall off after he came and picked me up lachtot thanks dude and yeah 500 bucks is what insurance said its worth lol thanks! and im happy i get to keep her too, ill work on the body when i get more time i think and my leg is okay just have a bruised bone, could have been way worse!
Gutted, ninja Celi's don't like snow - no camoflague Take off the bumper and replace it, a p/beater will pull the ass out for a few bucks and then you need to learn to spray. Even if the spare was buckled it could still be repaired, doubtfull if the chassis is damaged may cost a couple of hundred but the alternative suxx Don't want to preach but someone once told me many years ago - "always drive to the conditions and treat others around you as idiots" It's kept me out of many accidents ever since
yeah im looking into a way to fix this, and i think that seems like i viable way to pull the back end out i did a temp fix to the holes i have and learn to spray will go to get a new bumper 2maro at a junk yard and thats some good advice, i was being stupid and the road was to icy, put her in first and she just slid off the road, wouldnt dare touch the brakes if they had locked i would have rolled down the other side of the road and off a cliff face. i slid into the ditch at about 3mph, there is no damage accept for my alignment from that the person who rear ended me had to have been going about 10, thats where the damage is from it just makes me irritated that they didnt leave their info!! banghead
Lesson learned, count yourself lucky you are still in one piece and able to carry on talking to us still.
i said in my head right as i lost control go into a ditch and get a banged up car or off a cliff and die. that was a no brainer. and i am sure as hell glad i didn't side off that cliff.
Yep, agreed, I"m glad you didn"t go off the cliff.......( no one to talk to lachtot ). Were you shaken up a bit when you came out of your car? Most of us are, and don"t even want to drive afterwards.
yeah this story could have been much worse im glad i got lucky fingersx and oh god yes the impact was quite hard for like 3-5 mph my neck got slammed into the head rest and then the guy rear ened me and took off so my neck and back then got slammed sideways into the window because i had taken my seatbelt off and was about to climb out the passanger door i got out said oh my god about 50 times was in a wreck emotionaly was falling over because of the snow and ice being so slick. then my friend who saw the accidents from behind came down and asked me if i was okay he was freaking out because he slid in the same location i did and was lucky enought to stop about 1 ft from the ditch it was getting dark and i was shooken up i didnt want to drive back down but i wanted to have my car back it was a surreal experience
Bet your mother was hugging and crying ? Mine was, that was about a year ago. The lady that hit me, her airbag had come into use. I was perfectly alright, but the police made me go on one of those stupid driving courses. Good thing about it, I had a sexy 18 year old babe sit next to me drool5 .
well she was but then she gave me a ear full about bad decisions and how i should know better etc, then my dad gave me a similar lecture. i bet if i had a air bag it would have gone off the second hit was really hard or seemed so sense i got thrown across the car, yeah the police didnt learn about this because if they had i would have to shell out 150 dolors to get my car out of impound. plus the police in that county is 3 people and a 3 tow trucks... and i was going to take my attractive lady friend and if she came along i dowbt we would have taken that road ( i have more sense with ladies arround lachtot ) but oh well....
drool5 New lady friend, photo please hehe I can imagine your parents having a go at you, and rightly so lachtot So what time is it in your land now, is it Wed/pm/am? Its now Wed/4.30am, and I can"t sleep. Did think about taking the Celica out for a spin, but there"s ice/snow all round here!!!!
here ya go and yeah i deserved it not gonna deny that! its currently 9:30 ish here in denver tuesday night and id be carefull if i were you or not go at all snow is a demon! :evil:
You lucky, lucky, Matt !! Did you make out that you were badly hurt/shaken up, so that she"d give you lots of attention lachtot She"s a good looker, what ethnic is she? Is she the one you mentioned during the car show?
ha ha i may have a little... i have a brused bone, and ribcage tho so there is some basis to that, she has some Irish in her and some Scottish i think but thats about it, and nah that was another gal she got to clingy tho so were not on good terms ha ha
Cool Matt fingersx So good to be young/handsome/nice sports car!! Is this one serious or is it early days? Scttish/Irish? Did she emigrate to your country? So have you actually met Kevin Yang, is he near you?
