You First Big Damage

[MS Pro Codriver]

Over jump, thru tree, over post at 2007 OregonTrail ProRally media rides.

Part of the front bumper cover is still there next to the post we took out. One of the side view mirrors was still in the tree.

Well, not me, but a friend of mine that I actually met that day D=.

Don't wanna say too much (why risk it?) but we were driving crazy on a windy trail. One way in each direction. I was following the other car. The other car took a corner too hard, power-slid, avoided an oncoming car resulting in him over-steering, counter-steered too hard, and smashed his car into the side of a dirt-mountain. His car took quite a beating but still runs. He was freaking out, I was freaking out, we were freaking out. All in all, it made for great memories. BTW, it happened yesterday =O!

I've had a very close girlfriend of mine puke in my true red with not even 1500 miles on the car..I wasn't outraged or anything but I did drive to the nearest Kroger 5 minutes after and bought 2 rolls of paper towels and a bottle of water which I then cleaned my car with for 25 minutes and I'm currently dealing with someone who was in such a rush to leave work they backed right into my car.. $700+ repair, possible bumper replacement :X

ahhh the memories...

I woke up and took my dog and and my grandma came up and says "A tree fell this morning at the front of your car." Ok, I literally just rolled out of bed, and I'm like what the ****... Where they had the house built, they had to basically cut into the side of a mountain and there is a big cliff on the side of the driveway with trees and shrubs and s*** at the top. Apparently in the rain last night the soil got lose enough to just let this tree drop, I usually don't like letting my boyfriend drive my car but I had let him last night. I park way farther forward then he does, and if he wouldn't have parked it where he did that tree would have been smack dab in the center of my hood and windshield. It somehow busted into my honeycomb panel, but I'll probably be taking that out when I put the FM in anyway so no big deal I guess.

I scratched the paint on the left front fender today with my socket wrench while I was installing my intake. I totally forgot about it after the install because it sounds so good!

sigh... 2 months after getting my car this happens...

i leave work and im sitting at a red light... light goes green, i put it in gear and i see some jackass blow the red light...

phew! glad i wasnt in gear and ready to pop the clutch as soon as it went green

so a good 4-5 seconds (count out loud) after the light has turned green, i start moving... when i cross the 2nd lane, BAM. another idiot tbones me on my left rear tire.

rim, tire, suspension, rear bumper and the panel above the rear wheel are ******... the insurance company says that they will REPAIR the panel instead of replacing it, since they "would have to cut the panel to replace it".

im pretty upset about it since i know repairs dont do jack s***... and when driving it to the dealership, the steering was all ****** up and braking was actually dangerous, since the rear felt like it was on ice.

the moron that hit me claims that he couldnt see what color the light was cuz the sun was hitting the stoplight. so he just kept going.

im angry

 

[DaleNixon]

Man that blows! When in doubt, fly through the light! What a genius!

 

[mbanshchikov]

An idiot hit my door with his, left a nice scratch and then someone tapped my rear bumper...all in a school parking lot

 

[DaleNixon]

I scratched the outside of my glovebox really badly with my right thumbnail last night. I have ridiculously strong nails. I've broken clippers on them.

Cleaned the largest bird poop I have ever seen of my widsheild, remind you of a hard Florida cow paddie.
Used running water on my finger nail, scratch the heck out of the glass in several places, apparantly it was a large Owl with bone parts in it's poop!!!

4 days after ownership.... we had a really bad ice/winter storm. Well I was going to turn... going like 5-10 mph and all of a sudden I just start sliding and sliding and sliding right into a fire hydrant. Destroyed the front bumper. Luckily that was the only thing that got damaged. 460.00 later it got fixed.

2 months in I hit a mountain.

Everything from the radiator forward and the wire harness was replaced. Runs perfect again.

I am glad you two are feeling better. That definitely qualifies for Big damage. You reely gotta watch out for those mountains, they can be tricky, or so i hear. haha, i hope? the tranny fluid looks like blood! or...
