This morning around 10:15am I was heading to work. I was heading down the regular street I usually take and cruising at about 40mph. I was in the far right lane and there was a white truck/SUV in front of me about 2 cars ahead. All of a sudden, he decided to slam on his breaks and weave to the left avoiding a parked car that he somehow didn't happen to see. At this point I see the car and realized that even if I slammed on my breaks I wouldn't make it, so I tried to move into the left as he did, but the f*cker slowed down, KNOWING I was behind him, and left me no room. In short, I slightly hit the back left fender of the parked car (old old car), then lost control. At this point I slammed off to the right side, hitting the curb, bounched off the curb again just to hit it once more, I wasn't on the ground enough to brake, finally I slid to the side to a stop. My car is wrecked. The front is completely destroyed. My front bumper is off and damaged, those plate it bent in, the front right fender is damaged as well as the door on the passenger side, the front right wheel & tired are completely destroyed, whatever suspension in the front or anything around it is damaged, and my frame is bent in bad, my electric fan is almost touching the motor. Besides that, everything else is great .

Although, I fear this might be the end. I had just bought $1000 worth of parts from suspension to HID lights to a weber 48DCOE carb with manifold and everything and now I feel it's to a waste. I don't know what i'm going to do because this was my only car. I will post pictures later. Wish me luck

 

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, man, but at least you're okay. From the sounds of it, it may be gone. Frame damage is something that a lot of people feel it's best to strip the car of parts and get another one.

Hope the best for you, and please do post pics.

 

Do I smell a car going to the junkyard OR the owner going to the junkyard to take advantage of the 50% off beginning Thanksgiving day thru Sunday.

sorry to hear that. lemme know if I can help or you wanna get rid of what we talked about.

 

I swear, wacky is the 7 Reaper in disguise.

 

That is most displeasing.... Find a shell and you can transplant everything over.
That still sucks some monkey nuts though, being your only car.
my deepest condolences

 

Sorry to hear about that, man. Hope it all works out for you.

Wacky: You're not going to offer him your free towing service???

 

Now you upgrade and join us on the 2nd gen side! lol

 

wacky just threw the line...it will catch the fish sooner or later.

 

Wow! Iam really sorry about your loss. Look on CL and see if you can pick up a new body and transplant everything over. Good Luck Brother!

 

I feel you man I am out of my truck for almost a year and the rebuilding is taking forever..

Good luck on finding another body...

Dan

Well, here are some pics from earlier, I still am going to take a few more tomorrow to show how bad the frame was bent inside.










Not sure what's going to happen or what I'm going to do yet.


EDIT: For those who didn't know or haven't seen, this is what she looked like before the accident..

 

I had a similar thing happen in my nightmare last night, I woke up screaming.....sorry for your loss.

 

definitely get another roller. FBs are not hard to find..it just takes a lil more time. In fact, there is one in the west forum right now $500 since it wont pass smog. Im sure you can get it for less than that.

 

Damn, bad ****. Hopefully you are interested in finding a roller. I dont blame you if you decide not to though. Was a Hell of a sweet looking ride, RIP.

 

I do want to find another FB, no questions ask. I have so many parts ready to go, I can't let them go to waste. If anyone knows someone in california preferably socal area that might be able to help me out or has one for sale thats not too expensive.. lower the better.. please let me know. thanks for your help earlier pinoyremix.

 

so which one is it?

 

I want another FB. Just don't have that much to spend at the moment.
