Unhappy well ironic...but i was on the way to get beer

and i did the most idiotic thing...i literally can't even think straight right now...i'm so mad at myself...

i was in a different part of town that i didn't really know and i was making a left turn and there was a small median which the city is too cheap to put reflectors or anything on and i hit it and just completely ripped off my axle...the rim is just sitting in the bumper now...and the door wouldn't even open so i'm not sure if the frames bent or if its cuz of the quarter panel...and the exhaust is shoved up into the bottom of the car and bumper...and then when they came to tow it they broke my front and back bumper...


i know i know...i'm a freakin idiot, i just hate this crap right now...and i was only going like 20 mph and the cop gave me a ticket for failure to control speed? wtf???!!!! but i got one pic before my phone died but i dunno how to post so if someone wants to fil me in i'll put it...i'm going sometime to get the rest of my crap out of the car so i'll take more...but the wrecker guy and cop said they think its totalled...hopefully not...i spent the last 3 yrs building that car while going to school and working min. wage jobs to pay for it and parts

That'll be some very expensive beer.

Goodluck. Got pics up yet? Might not be totaled just going 20mph.

sounds like wat happened to me lol
except i was taking a right turn at 45... my car was supposed to be totalled, but stupid shop quoted $8k damage, then 2 months later i found my auto tranny leaking, there goes another $2k fix. $10k sounds like a totaled price for a 04es, but because they missed the tranny problem, i now drive this baby with a salvaged title and $10k damage. =/

Sorry to hear about your car. Hope everything work out for you. Work and School are hard enough. Just when you start to get ahead something always happens. Or in my case atleast. Sorry again.
