Pictures now up
Go to MY MSN SITE for higher quality pics. Well, I finally had misfortune with my Celica. She's totalled. I was taking a left leaving a stop sign, with a van taking a right(without a stop sign) from my left onto the street I was on. She had her blinker on and was slowing down so I checked the other way and started to go. I didn't see anyone behind the van, but there was a motorcycle who got impatient and went to go around the van at the same time I pulled out. He hit me almost dead center in the front bumper causing the bumper, bumper support, and radiator to crack. I'll get pictures up ASAP(it happened 6/20 at about 5:45pm but I was with my g/f at the emergency room last night). As for human injuries, the airbag burnt some hair on my arm and left a nasty rash, my girlfriend got some serious whiplash, but should be fine in a few days, and the kid(he was 16 on a 750cc Ninja ZXR) broke his ankle and got some roadrash on his legs and hands but is otherwise okay(nice helmet, great jacket, but he had on Birkenstock sandals and shorts). I've already gotten almost everything out of the car, but they wouldn't let me take the stereo(Progressive said something about it costing me extra if it doesn't get to the place with everything intact, big load of BS). Anyways, I don't have internet at my place at the moment, and won't be making it to Pigeon Forge this weekend(I even had new rubber coming in and was planning on changing the oil and tuning it up today). Like I said, I'll get pictures up ASAP, it's bad, but it could have been much worse. I may try to buy it back(another load of BS, why pay for something you already own), but then again I'm thinking I'll get something cheap for now and save up for a down payment on something nice later. Either way, I'll still be around and whatever I get it's going to be a Toyoda(old joke from the brake cap on the 80's Toys). This post has been edited by aaronc222: Jun 22, 2004 - 2:02 PM |

It's still sucking, but I'm getting more back than I thought I would. I'll end up with 4100 all together(not much, but better than I thought it would be). The crash has been played up on the news for the past couple days(slow news week), and I'm driving a rental Cavalier(I really miss my baby). As far as the Tail is concerned, my next car should be plenty of fun up there. I'm looking at a late 80's Supra Targa Turbo, an 85 Celica GTS, or an 85-87 Corolla GTS. Just something cheaper that I can drop money into later, but save up for now and get a better car when I get a chance. Sorry it's so short today, and I still don't have pics up(going in a minute to switch radios and grab the strut bar and get pics), but I've got a lot on my mind lately with the wreck and a new relationship starting(we've been together just over a week). I'll get pics ASAP and keep everyone updated on what I'll be driving next. |
