Never thought I would be making one of these threads as I used to see these types of threads and they would only make me more thankful that I had my car in one piece... But it happened. Wrecked my Celica about a week ago and totaled it. It was early morning and I was tired to begin with, but basically, without going into too much detail, I went off the right side of the 2 lane 2 way road and half the car was on the grass, when I tried to correct it I lost total control when the car went back onto the road and started sliding sideways. Slid sideways for a bit a ways in a ditch, the car hit a driveway which is about a foot and a half higher than the ditch and area of grass I was sliding on, and the car went airborn. Finally came to a dead stop at the sake of a utility pole. It breaks my heart, and this is probably the biggest f*ck up I've ever done in my short life, but it only makes me want to get another one a build it even worse now.... Here are some pics:
Passenger side... Thankfully noone was with me, as they would have been dead... All in all, nobody died, and I'm still walking and thinking straight. Could be a lot worse. But! Engine still intact.. =] I plan on having another Celica by the end of the summer, and have my swap done by summer of 2010. |
