Angry Wrecked the RA

I was driving home from work tonight, going 45 in 4th and the RA just started drifting sideways, and i hit the median, however hte airbags didn't deploy and i could drive it to safety.

I think i crushed the under lip, the plastic with the Mitsu symbol, and the drivers side fender and such.

by the time i hit and slid thru the snow i don't think i was going more than maybe 10 miles and hour and I more or less scraped it. It wasn't that bad. I mean, for a wreck. The CEL came on and it sounded like it was grinding. But i think it'll be ok..

I Still have my daewoo lanos, thats my permanent winter car, i ain't even going to take the RA out in the rain now.... but it's going to sit in the garage and i'm going to tune it up... so by summer i might have the turbo kit in it. lol

I need to save up, insurance/car payment/college/aftermarket parts don't seem to blend well.

Really sorry to here you wrecked your car a bit.
Thursday a lady ran a red light. I was fortunate to hit the brakes quickly so she only removed the first 12 inches or so of my front end. I'll find out Monday if If it's all bolt on damage, sure hope so.
Let's all be carefull out there.

I was in altoona with my dad, and coming back from altoona on 22 we were fine the whole way until i came about less than a mile of the exit to 271, then i lost it

I'll email today Dave.

My dad called. he said it's not near as bad as we thought last night, just a lil plastic/fiberglass.... so i may not have to get the kit, although i'm going to do my damndest to get it.

Looking at the Price of the stock FX kit, is more than the Evo 8 full kit, i think i'll talk to my dad and be calling accolade sometime this or next week. and tbh, i need to get my blower motor for the lanos so i have a beater.

I'm not really prone, I've only been driving a standard for 3 weeks. Most people rather learn in summer lol. But, i'm not too worried about it. I'm not going to let anything happen to my baby again.

Go figure, i drive the pos daewoo for 2 years, never even got stuck in a ditch, drive a lancer for 2 weeks, and hit a median, oi.

Moral? Only drive pieces of **** for winter. LoL
