Default Another one bites the dust!

The wife and I went out of town this weekend, leaving the mother-in-law home with the kids.

She sent our teenage daughter to the store, .. (she has a license, and drives her self regularly, so not out of the ordinary)

BUT:



now the bad side..







it's totaled..

the rear suspension mount on the drivers rear is pushed in about 4"

was a $500 car, but I've got another $500 and so many hours into putting that car together.. it's depressing..

so I'll part it out and get another toy.. life goes on..

I'm still pissed!

Sorry to hear that. Looks like that was a decent car for $500. Hope you can get something else lined up soon.

The major issue is the drivers rear suspension mount, where the lower control arm mounts to the frame, the frame member looks like an accordian where it was compressed. NO frame shop will touch it because it is a suspension mounting point. The rest of the damage appears to be cosmetic, doors and a fender.
