Hi, I'm new here. This is only my second post. I had a 1996 Accord LX about a month ago. I was driving along the road on a rainy day when I suddenly hit a puddle. A big one at that. At that time I had a cold air intake installed. Unfortunately when I hit the puddle, the cold air intake decided to suck in cold water. Bad bad bad. So that was the end of my piston rods.

If that was the worst you think that happened, hear this. Some friends of mine who were also leaving school as I was saw my car broke down. They stopped to help me out. We pushed the car to the curb and parked it LEAGALLY.

They then took me to a Jack In The Box where I called a friend to pick me up. When he picked me up, we went back to my house. After a couple of hours we went back to my car to try to start it up. It didn't start. We then called a tow truck. We waited by my car for about 2 hours and the damn truck never showed up.

We then decided to forget it and left for a while.

We returned in the evening and as we aproached my car, there was a cop there. We drove by slowly and noticed that there was another car infront of the cop. We assumed that he was just giving the Pontiac Grand AM a ticket.

So we busted a U and pulled up behind my car. I stared at it and noticed that it was taller than usual. Then I looked again and I noticed that my car was excessively close to the curb. I looked closer and realized that the back left section of my car was missing. My car had just gotten raped. It was rear ended so bad that the chasis twisted. With this, the car was unrepairable. The insurance then gave us $8000 for "Becky" (My 96 Accord) and we used that to get me "Shirley" (My 2002 Accord DX).

I still like my old car better, but I guess I'm stuck. Well just thought I'd give all of you my automotive history.
