Unhappy I'll just let the pictures talk

These pictures where taken at 10:30 or so this morning.



Something strange in the first image... my car is facing the wrong way for the road....

After the 180 I slammed into the curb with both drivers side wheels.







the next image was a quick snap from underneath... can't see much.



The last two are of how my trunk no longer lines up.






Now it's going to cost out the at least $1000 to fix. 185 each to replace the ugly snowflake rims plus the back drivers side tire is at an 45 degree angle....

So overall I'd say the day is going great so far.

as much as this sux, i was reminded on saturday that the car is the least of your worries. my friend (along with 3 others in the car) had a lil accident and rolled on his side. we found out shortly after it happened, and we all thought the worst, but all 4 got out with bruises. glad to know it was the car and not you, tanshin. car parts can be replaced, friends are not so readliy available.

very true Darren, I had a cousin that was in a rolling from a$$ to hood minivan (yes minivan) after a accident sent her roiling into a ditch. The car was destroyed to no end but she managed to come out of that whole deal with a few bumps.

So like sorry to hear about the car, but for what it's worth at least no one got hurt.

Yea man your car can be fixed or even replaced if it were totaled. But friends can't. i work at a hospital and see accident victims all the time. even ppl i know have come in and didnt come back out.

Yeah I'm very very glad. What stopped the car from rolling? It was raining... I pulled a left turn from a light that just changed and as I went into the turn I shifted to second....

It was like I hit ice.. I tried to recover it but it was too late.. we did a 180 slammed both drivers side tires into the curb. Broke the rims but we didn't roll..

Oh and yeah. I am very very lucky... My girlfriend was in the passenger seat and I couldn't have taken it if she where hurt or dead.

Right now, I'm waiting for someone to get off work to take me to the hospital. My girl is doing great though.

shift lock. it can lock the tires while turning depending on when you're turning.. don't shift till you're pulling out next time and you'll be better off.
glad everybody's ok though.

everything everyone has said is soo true... sure you got in an accident but it could have been a lot worse. Besides when i had my s14 the trunk didnt line up to begin with.

Bodyshop found all the parts they need. They also found two used rims to hold me over... But hell mine where used so no loss as long as they match. They say it will be done in a week. $750
