Well yesturday i got in to a bit of a wee accident going around a corner yesturday. I was doing about 65mph and my control arm snapped and sway bar bent. Well i tried to drift it out but off course i didnt. My rear right tire caught and shot me off towards a telephone pole. i just barely missed it by 6". I went off in to a field and tried to whip the rear end back around well i got more than that. I left rear tire caught and dug in which sent me off towards some trees. I was going head on with them still doing about 45mph and i cranked the wheel away from them. I went up an embankment and the rear end just grazed the tree's. All in all My front bumper got ripper under and my rear bumper half ripped off. But Its not that bad just a crease in the rear quarter panel that I've almost got out. But This just gives me an excuse to roll the rear fender's and go for a more stock look. Side skirts have come off (I took them off) And I can shave the power anntena and go for a 2 tone. Its orange right now And Im gonna go for Orange on top black on buttom.

the dent in the rear was much worse i popped it out alot. But i found a 89 hatch with a usdm front lip which he claims is pretty hard to find and its got a good front and rear bumper good control arm good tail lights everythings good except a couple of things. $450 and if i pay $250 more it comes with a 93 coupe with a good motor (hatch has good motor to) the coupe has meagen lowering springs 2.5" in front 2" in back

I could've hit the pole or tree's head on and there would be no more 240. But I have a husky spray gun and a dewalt compressor and a mouisture catcher and all the prep work and thinner and all that for body work. And a place to paint it

Damn. Get the coupe, if anything you can make that money back quick. I am going to check out the condition of my Control Arms.

Yesterday I just finished an oil pump on a VW and heard someone crash near by. So we started up the passat and drove around the block to find a huge truck in a fence. The fence belongs to the military base and the dude in camos looked like he was gonna cry. He was probably going 20mph too fast for the wet road.
