Dude that sux. Good luck fixing it...

Daaaaamnn......That sux. You should try to get some parts at the junkyard. It would be a whole lot cheaper than the dealer.

Good luck. I bent my control arm doing that in my old car and bent something else as well. It never lined up straight again.

What were you doing that for?

Nice move! :D That really does suck though.

reliving my accident
 
ugh sorry about your accident dude. that happened to me this past october. it totally sucked. i loved that accord. the honda dealer said it would cost around 5 Gs to fix everything. i will try to find the list they gave me of what was wrong and post it. but the insurance company said the car was "totaled." so i got about 3100 for it. now i am just waiting for my appeals case because Mass wants to raise my steps.

ebpda9 04-10-2003 09:12 AM

it looke to me that the crossbone is bent too. that should be around $400. www.evanshondaspecialist.com might be able to help you with that for some low prices.

i am bored at work so i checked out that link. on the "Parts" page...4th row...middle column...on the hood of the car that looks like some took a bat all around the car, there is a skunk. i am so bored, i found that hilarious...so sad

Cool spazzy! Thanks for posting this... I love it when everyone finds out about my mistakes.
Yea, it was a really good night, coming back from my f'ing birthday party, and got a little bit stupid and did this. I hope that I can fix it on my own (we were going to take it to a shop at first). After I get it back together, I am going to take it up to a friend's body shop and have them check the chassis and frame to make sure it's not bent. If it is, the car is going to be sold :\
In other news, I am finacially ****ed! ;(


ShEaNy 04-10-2003 10:41 AM

ouch...good luck fixing that man..

That really sucks. I saw a beemer trying to showoff in traffic the other day. He was turning left from a stoplight and gunned it to whip it around. Instead he ended up smacking the curb and messing up his wheel.

Good luck.

Duckydos 04-10-2003 11:28 AM

Yea... hearing from you guys doing the similar things (or seeing people do it) I don't feel like that big of a dumbass... it was still pretty ****ing stupid.
BTW:

dude good luck with the repairs... you better hope and pray your bearing isnt f'd, cause when i hit ice last january and tapped a crub it bent my a-arm which warped my bearing.. 1 month and 4 bearings later we got one that fixed... not to mention the $1k it cost me...

Duckydos 04-11-2003 06:54 AM

$1k... ACK! I am hoping to get out of this one for under $500.. I'll keep you guys posted.
