SHE's ALIVE!!!
Update: I finally have my car back. It runs, and I love it. Even if it no longer has a heater or AC...or if it looks like it does. Powersteering and radiator and belts were replaced. The one thing i have to get now is the hood, as the one it has doesn't close fully and is all bent, and I can't take it on the freeway that way.
My beloved MX3 GS was victim of a car crash this evening at about 6:30PM, into the back of a van (which only suffered slight scratches). the whole front was damaged, the radiator and power steering and ac condenser are gone, as are both headlights. but th car luckily still runs. Tomorrow, I will go to the junk yard and see if I can find another GS. wish me luck

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Car accident tonight
yeah that's similar damage when I had the wreck in the race car... no more than 20mph but the frame wasn't bent. We had to pull the rad support back and realign some things and get new parts.

Re: Car accident tonight
It's funny though how much damage this car can take, yet the other car (or in my case, minivan), didn't takeMooneggs wrote:yeah that's similar damage when I had the wreck in the race car... no more than 20mph but the frame wasn't bent.

when I got out of the car and saw the other car was perfectly fine, i was like "you've GOT to be kidding me.. >_>"
though i am thankful that their car was fine.

Re: Car accident tonight
U hit something higher than you.
if you hit a pick-up or SUV, it'd be worse. :p
glad you're okay and plan to get her fixed.
time to upgrade some of your stuff such as the projector headlight n etc hehe.

oh yeah I'm not complaining at all! I just am always amazed at these stories where the other doesn't even have a dent on it!
