I'm back and I have bad news
« on: September 13, 2007, 02:00:53 pm »
I finally am able to get back onto the site. I had some serious virus problems and I could not get onto the site. I finally resorted to doing a complete format and everything is running smooth 8)

Now for the bad news.

Check out my daily :(









I t-boned a car that pulled out right in front of me. To make matters worse it was a 1933 ford coupe



It wasn't that exact one, but it was nice and definitely the guys baby. He was at fault but we decided to settle at the scene and not get the cops or insurance involved.

I took my car for a drive the other day and it pulls right slightly, but once it starts going right it will really start to pull. I know my frame is bent :cry:

Don't let this get you down, Start searching for a decent jetta/golf shell to transfer all the stuff into.

well at least you can still drive it! and no one got hurt! just turn the tie rod out   or in! so it will go strait a little better! hows your truck coming? you should be able to make it last till you can put something else together?
 thanks Duane

Wow that's a good price for that Jetta. I think I'm just going to drive my car for another month as is and then scrap it. My truck should be done in the spring some time. It shouldn't be a problem going the winter with no car.

I'm really glad that we were both able to walk away from the accident.

Tyler, sorry to hear about the accident. Luckily neither of you were hurt.

Too bad you have to scrap the car, but on the bright side, you'll be having another garage sale to make some more money for the caddy.

And that Jetta for $200 looks like a heck of a deal if it's still there.

Thanks guys.

I'm not too bummed about it, as you can see my car is a pile anyways. I was going to pull it off the road in about a month.

I'm going to drive it home today (1.5 hours) hopefully there are no surprises

Well when I went to get into it I could barely get my driver door open. Apparently it's slowly folding in half. I decided to stay home and I'll have it trailered home next weekend, which means part out

It's tempting but I don't really want a vehicle. My girlfriend has an 04 ranger that I can use when I need it and I'm also broke :lol:

I'm just waiting for my truck, ETA from the body shop, summer 08

BTW I have a cool video of my brothers project to upload, perhaps tomorrow
