Well I now am sorry to say I no longer have my Celica...as I wrecked it driving down the highway yesterday...somehow i was driving an I completely lost steering so my car swerved to the right ..I slammed on the brakes but it was too late ...I side swiped a EVO 8 and rear ended a van...needless to say I didnt have insurance so now Im out of a car which really sucks...But anyway after we pulled to the side of the road i saw the problem with why my steering went out...the (control arm) (i think thats what it is) had broken so only the drivers side wheel was turning in completely snapped off the passenger side wheel...so now my life is officially gonna suck without a car
Thanks for reading |

I'm really sorry for you, I know how it feels to be without a car. But not having insurance really sucks, sorry good luck.

yea you will. i bet that evo 8 owner is FUMING. and running into vans is a bad idea, it usually doesnt look good to jurys when you drive without insurance and crash into a family car. good luck to you. i hope they dont tear you limb from limb.
then again there are nice people in the world, who as long as you pay for their damages (which on a brand new evo is going to mean CHA CHING, and without insurance means out of pocket.) wont press charges.... so hopefully the evo owner isnt some anal retentive dude who likes easy money... --------------------  Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

umm... in civil lawsuits (someone suing one another) there are no jury's.... The judge makes the decision. Jury's are for capital crimes and the such. |

Actually, you can have a jury in civil lawsuits. I know in some cases it is only on appeal, but in others you can go straight to a jury trial. |

thats good news
sell your celica and get a gs then swap in a 1st gen 6 bolt from a gs-t and do the tranny and axles and everything else too. |

It sometimes depends on the case and the State... if it's a civil suit about an auto accident and a non-insured vehicle, the non-insured will almost always lose, unless it's proven in court that the non-insured wasn't at fault... either way, depending on the extremities in the case and the State, there can be trial by Jury or by Judge... unless it's filed as a small claims case, then that will be trial by judge... |
