Hey Guys,
Most of you dont know me, But a Few ( Coomer, XXX Mina ) and a few others know this. Last Monday I was Involved In a Car Accident. I was On my way into Oregon City Leaving my house turned onto the Main Road and everything was going fine. I only had it in Second gear because there was snow and Ice. I started my accent down a Steap hill To find out the the Entire Road Is a Solid Sheet of Ice. My Car Started Dirfting out of control the front end drifted into the other side of the road and the read end stay'ed in my lane. I Did my best to fix the problem I got her straight again but i was in the middle of the Road Heading right for a MitsuBushi Montero I Hit Driverside/Front, Both cars. The Driver side door was pushed back and I had to crawl out the passenger while I was In serious pain. I was takin to the Hospital and I have a Broken Collar Bone, a Miss-alinged shoulder, and about 30 fracures In my shoulder regein. I was released from the Hospital that night and I am on alot of Pain Killers but the pain still gets to me.

But For me the Pain that gets to me Isnt the Physical Its the Mental Stress really, See because this was my First Car. It took me about 1 1/2 to save for this car, and Took me 6 months just to find her. If you check out my profile You'll notice this wasnt the nicest car by any means But It was mine and she made me happy. She cost me 4800$ and even tho she didnt compare to my friends Bimmer's or anything she was nice to me because I had earned her.

I really dont know what todo now. After getting the insurence money, I paid the dedcutable, Medical bills , and the Rest of the loan off I now sit at 1300.24. I lost the Car that brought me so much Joy and this has crushed my dreams.

Well thats Just a Little Insight into my Life Right now, Take it for what you will.

Thanks For everything,
Dustin Thomas Edwards

ouch man...sorry to hear that. im sure things will turn out for the better.

hey kid sorry to here i know your pain... i really know your pain.

if you have 1300 save that up and look around for another celica.

Ditto, Good luck bro.

I don't usually respond to these posts because they're usally somebody just whining about how their car got screwed up (and when you get the real story you find out they were doing something stupid). But your story seemed different. You sound like a good kid. Everything will work out fine for you. Just get your body fixed, then worry about the car. Enjoy the pain killers while you can. Make sure to come down off of them slowly or you'll be pretty grumpy for a week or so. I was on percocet for a broken collar bone after I wrecked my bike.

Man thats sad, things can only get better from here on. Get yourself well .You
made your dream of owning a Celica a reality once so whose to say you can't
do it again.

you guys got pain killers for a broken collar bone???

Well...I had more injuries than that, but that was the mostly noteable. I think its more to dull the pain of losing a vehicle .

i wrecked my dirtbike during the last moto(race) of the day this summer and broke my collar bone and i was out for a good 4 weeks....then about 2 weeks after that just taking it easy.....mine was sticking out pretty far though....and they didnt even set it. Looks terrible still to this day. the worst part was i had to lay on my back to sleep And yes you get pain killers

sorry to hear about your collar bone, and really sorry about your car
Brian

damn i don't know if i was the lucky one or not cause i didn't get pain killer i had to deal with the pain of a broken collar bone for 1 month... it wasn't anything nice...

had the same problem. broke my collar bone clear in half snowboarding and I had fragments sticking out. still looks pretty messed up to this day.

and sorry about your car man. you will persevere though. besides, celis are going down in price; I can attest to the fact that my car is nearly worthless

Thanks Guys,
Im just kinda taking it one day at a time. Im Looking at a 88' 4dr accord right now for at least something to drive. I want to own another Celica one ( a 6gc or course ). I am looking to save for a Supra MK IV next cause i would like another nice and fast car. I know im about 10k from that but its something new to look forward too.

Thanks For all your support guys!

hey if you can get financed try and buy truejigga's gt-4, then we would all be jealouse, those of us in the states anyway.

Hey man, sorry to hear about your loss. .Be thankful to be alive cuz it coulda been worse.. I saved up for me celica myself too, took me 2 1/2 years! I'm sure with the money you have left you can save up again and in no time get another, possibly better celica! Good luck with everything man!
