Well last night i was driving on some what of a highway. I was flowing with traffic at seventy (the speed limit) and all of a sudden everyone nails there brakes so obviously i do to .I get stop and just as i stop and look in my rearview mirror i see a freakin 99 sunfire not even trying to slow down and rear end me. As you all know sunfires have very pointy front ends so when he hit me he launched the rear of my 89 jetta high enough were the front lower valance hit the ground and i spun around in traffic. After he hit me he jumped up on the median. Both cars are complete right offs. in his car his airbags went off and took out his windsheild.The front of his car was crumpled in about 8 inches WOW! For the jetta the rear doors dont open the trunk doesnt close and the drive side quarte panel is crumpled in 10 inches or so :D I always do it once and do it right. Boy did i ever live up to that one. I'll post pics later tonight.

That really sucks man... it sounds like it was a pretty severe bump. Glad to hear you're OK!
-
Glad to hear your ok. That does suck. Hopefully they had insurance. Around here that is a big problem, no insurance drivers.
-
that sucks man but if it is possible to put it back on the road and you need parts i have three jetta 4 doors waiting to get dismantle it s a bit far as i am near montreal but those parts will be freebees if that can help you. :wink:

doh! smokey i have a solid-bodied silver mkII jetta that i took an engine from, the back end is in good shape and i was going to sell it to some crazy hacker for a weird jetta/golf thing he was doing :? haven't heard from him in a few weeks now though.
its in kitchener, if you want to come down and take a look at it, its yours if you'll use it!

thanks for the offers but the meat head in the sunfire gave me 2500 bucks if we don't go through insurance so i will just use it for parts. It has an excelent motor and tranny. 221,000 and no blow by so I have about 3000 dollars towards a td :D
Thanks
Jeff

He probably just realized that the Golf and Jetta front ends are identical :D
