Well I wrecked another one...

Today I wrecked another one of my babys on my way to school. I ended up snaping the rear axle, and did some damage to the front fender and front end. The thing that sucks is that I already wrecked one car under my insurance company, and If they find out I wrecked another my insurance will go through the roof. So for the mean time Im stuck driving a 97 jetta Only working part time isnt going to help to get my car on the road anytime soon, but atleast ill save some money in gas driving the jetta.

That sucks bro, I spun mine once, but luckaly it just got stuck in the ditch.

Good Luck, getting another one or getting that one back on the road.

Ok, well im on my way to school @ 6:30am so Im not the most awake person in the world. Im waiting at a stop sign to pull out on to route 1. Everyting "looks" clear, so I proceed to pull out (left turn) and I get half way out and see a buick century coming towards me at around 45 mph, so my spilt second decicion was to put the pedal to the floor to get out of the way. I tried to hook the left turn, but the rear of my car slid out and smashed the curb on the other side of the street. So I managed to destroy both rims on the right side of my car, and scratch up the front end a little bit, and snap the hub off the rear axle. And the jetta I was supposed to buy tommrow was sold this morning So I found a 94 camaro v6 t tops, with 94,000 miles for 2,200 a few miles away from me. So the Iroc will sit out back of my house and get fixed slowly but surely. I was also able to find a rear axle for $150. Wish me luck.

Yeah thats never a good thing. Yeah the problem i always have with my car is if im waiting for a break in traffic to turn i see small ones every now and then that i know i could make it through in my maro but if i gave it too much gas and broke the tires loose id be dead. Too bad on what happened definitly doesnt sound like a RIP but good luck putting it back together.

WHat kinda condition are they in? I may be interested in that deal if he isnt


I also second the thought that if you part out the wrecked car send me a PM of what you have. I may take something off your hands.
