Crashed the MX3 :(

[sean_hibbitts]

Sigh was put driving the other night on a pretty curvy road and well it was a bit icy and my brakes froze or locked up or something we right into a dirt wall the damage to the MX3 isn't that bad surprisingly the bumper is still intact but the real damage was caused by the airbags going off the passenger side shattered the windsheild so now i have a windsheild and a 2 airbags to replace oh joy.......... i just love my MX3 .................................................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................... WHERE IS IT I HAVE A BASE BALL BAT AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT <p>

Man....Sorry to hear. If you need airbags lemme know. Took mine out.

what are you using as a replacement? Covers?

[sean_hibbitts]

Jarid how much American/CND would you want for them cuz i could use a cheap deal because airbags are really expensive and i don't have much towards getting it fixed sigh<p>and Barry i know im prolly gonna get mega flamed for this but im Driving my GF's 92 Honda Civic HB
(it's alot better than taking the BUS) <p>but im now in the Job Market so i can fix my baby because i don't have any insurance coverage for the type of accident i was in i don't even know if it's worth fixing anyone know what kinda moola i would get for selling it too like a Parts Dealer ?<p>[ January 20, 2003: Message edited by: sean_hibbitts ]</p>

Can't I just put the cover on the pass side with no airbag behind it? As for price lemme see what they are goin for..I have seen them anywhere from 3-4 hundred a set.

No one should flame just because you're driving a civic hatchback, you were forced to :p <p>Sorry to hear about the accident, glad you're alright though.

touching story sean but i got u beat, i was practicing my rally skills on snow in a parking lot and well i guess my mazda is to fast for me and i couldn't finish the turn and i hit a 6inch high 4ft wide concrete divider sideways (btw i cleared it but about a foot and a half), got out and my driverside front wheel was sideways and almost fell off when i tried to move it.cost of repair with 2 new wheels = $1176 USD. oh well, at least i dont have to start driving a honda now, sorry sean <p>[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Ted ]</p>

[sean_hibbitts]

Well i only have the Honda temporarily cuz my GF is in Iran with her family for a funeral lol but im prolly gonna buy a Corolla SR5 HB i saw for 600 Bucks and drive that while the MX3 slowly is repaired.... i wasn't doing rally sadly i was doing Downhill Time Trials the worst part of it i didn't even total it on a a hair pin it was just a little bit of a sharp turn -_-, Crap......

[TedLeeper]

If you want to spend around 600 bucks i suggest getting a dodge daytona. there cheap, turbo charged, and pretty fun to drive. before buying that corrolla look for one, you wont be dissipointed. or you could buy altezza's and a hell of a lot of led for your temp honda lol

funny you mentioned getting a daytona, thats what my friend has as his winterbeater, turbo charged daytona, its pretty quick too.
