I live in a dorm so lots of little door dings. Some dumbass tried to steal it by ripping out the passenger side door handle w/ a crowbar, but it just dented the door. And I forgot to put my hoodpins in one day, so my hood flew up at 90 mph and dented the roof! My next mod? Getting the body damage fixed!!!!

I've only crashed it myself trying to do an "S" drift up Tantalus in Hawaii. It was relatively slow speed <30mph, so it just went into the ditch.

I hit my roommate's 96 SC Mustang Cobra. I got behind him to pass another car, and he stopped for a light that I thought we were going to go through, he has ABS and I don't. I wasn't going very fast when I hit probably less than 10 MPH. It was enough to dent my header panel and one of his exhaust pipes went into my headlight. Very minor damage to his car....rubbed the rear valence that was buffed out and bent the tip on his exhaust. He didn't care since he was going to get turn downs anyway.

The 87 n/a I have now I never crashed. But someone did dent up the front fender when it was in a parking lot.

Anyway, the first 7 I owned was a 83 and owned it when I about 20 and living up north(CT). I use to take it out in the snow on empty roads and just drive sideways down the road When it went out of control it would just hit a snow bank and the passenger would just push it out. It was a blast!

Well, I did dent it doing this. It was sliding out of control into what was though to be a snow bank. There wasn't enough of a snow bank to stop the back end and it ended up hitting a road sign and putting a nice little dent in the back. Doh

Yo,


My car is a garage bitch. I admit it.

I just had all the door dings pulled, and I park hella far away.

I need to go shine the undertray, polish the RB presilencer, and wax the spare tire holder. *wink*

It wasn't a crash, just a momentary bout of stupidity. Me and a concrete column, resulting in some minor (kinda) fender damage.

hell yeah i've wrecked my car. one week after i got my 1990 gtu, i decided it would be fun to light em up out of a parking lot. ended up fishtailing a little too much and hit a parked truck. after that, i was taking my girlfriend to class and she couldn't get into the car b/c the handle on the passenger side was all jacked up, as well as a chip in the window from a screwdriver trying to pry the window open by some half-*** attempt to steal it. by then the car had turned into an f'ing magnet! a month or so later, it was parked out front of my apartment and got hit by a truck. destroying the passenger side door and front fender. then the hatch window was smashed out w/ a brick and all for a stupid 60$ pioneer bass tube. in addition, one day i pulled into a friendly's, stopped in for about 15 minutes, returned to my car to find someone had the inability to park and dented my rear driver's side quaterpanel. at this point, my car had looked like it had gone through a battle. then to top it all off, i take it to my mechanic to get it inspected and some jackass decides to steal it for my rims & stereo system. they find the car about 1/4 mile from the garage. passenger side door frame bent open, ignition pulled, sitting on the rotors! god bless that poor car! hopefully i'll have a new one next week. (btw, this happened in august and the GD insurance company just cut my pathetic check last week....f progressive!! their commercials make my stomach turn!

My 87 TII is my BABY never been wrecked but there are a number of door dings and a few spots that would be hail damage if not for the fact that it stays garaged ( I half-believe that they are finger marks from closings / on the hood and rear hatch ) it is my Baby; but I still manage to put it through the paces

When I first got my car, I thought I new what I was doing and decided to drift my way through a corner on my way from school. The road was wet from rain so I fishtailed ,did a 180, ended up going over the median, taking out a tree, and facing the other direction on the other side of the road...almost hit an oncoming car too. That was an interesting experience.

Never

....although I came very close to a good one about 2 weeks ago: going too fast coming up on a blind turn, only to discover that EXACTLY after the blind spot on the apex of the turn there was a line of cars stopped due to a crash Slammed the brakes, immediately knew I wouldnt stop in time, but somehow managed to squeeze through the two lanes I found "space" where there was none....stopped 3 cars INTO the traffic jam, with their drivers looking at me in absolute horror

In the rain, these cars let you know really quick who's in charge.
