914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn.  Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598  |
I just got off the Narrows Bridge and was taking an off ramp. My speed was about 55. I hit the brakes and steared the wrong way. Who knows how fast I was going when I* hit it. There was big thunk and I drug it a ways. It was not pretty. It was alive when I walked back to it but, died shortly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I'm OK but, kind of shook up. The car is toast. The air bags didn't deploy but, the right front quarter panel is folded, hoods toast, grill is gone, headlight is gone, radiator is holed, alignment is off and I think the front end is pushed to the left. The car is a 95 with 148 thou, no collision coverage. Luckily, I have a body shop guy as a patient this morning. I bet I'll be getting a salvage yard to tow it. I guess I'll be shopping for a car this afternoon Dave |

New Honda econobox in the garage tonight. Honda Fit. It seems like a pretty tight little car. Turn in is real quick but, I haven't taken it into any corners very quick yet. I suspect it'll push like a shopping cart. It looks like Honda feels that way too as the rear brakes are itty bitty drums. Sweet little 5 speed that shifts like butter. Honda knows transmissions. Anyway, it'll get me from here to there and be OK.
