Before and after pics...

Let a friend drive it, and he totalled it for me, what a great guy.. We're both perfectly fine, and so was everything on the inside of the car... And Insurance has already paid the car off... Now i get to drive this though:

This is how it happened:

Pulling into driveway and friend was going 20mph (like an idiot) and we hit a bump on the dirt road, and the rear end lifted up, and he over corrected in the wrong direction, causing it to slide the left, and when it caught traction, the car slid forward. The car then started to go forward, with loss of all steering, and we hit the side of a tree stump, on a downhill slope of about 150* from top-dead-center. The car then preceeded to roll onto its side, and slide on it's top for about 3 feet.

I wasn't able to recover anything from it other than my friends guitars and the little stuff... I wanted the seats from it, at least ;(

Ouch... Did it rolling it hurt as bad as you would think? Good thing you were wearing your belts though.

 

[Goldfish]

I guess thats what you get for having that hideous banner on the back windshield.




:Q

Hey Don, didn't you lose your license?

And wasn't there a 197x Datsun pickup in the mix somewhere?

Or was that Jerboy?

I get the whiners mixed up sometimes.

After reading the thread ViperGTS linked to, I realized some people (and by "some people" I mean you and your buddy) need to have all their driving rights revoked for the rest of their lives. Some folks are suited better for the bus/

Exactly. You GET to drive that car.

meh... the celica was an automatic

Man I can hardly believe you're for real, but I do believe.

I remember some time ago you going on about this celica you wanted so that people wouldn't think you had a house with dirt floors. Then you got in a major event with the police and were arrested. And now you finally got your celica and it is severely wrecked. I just don't know what to say about this except quit while you're not too far behind.

Reason #47 why kids under the age of 21 shouldn't be allowed to drive a car less than 5 model years old and/or valued at 5x their yearly income.

[Thegonagle]

That's too bad. You realize that if you had been the one driving, everyone here would be yelling and laughing at you. (Oh wait, everyone is!)

It's also too bad that your insurance will go up, because you're now known by the insurance company to let other people drive your car (unless he has his insurance paying for it).

Edited in bold.

Glad you're alright and everything, but honestly, who here didn't see this one coming?

Based upon his other posts on this topic I'm as dumbfounded as you are!

 

[Cooltech2k]

OMG... It's an Automatic......... Yuk

 

[Alienwho]

your friend, my ass.

We all called this happening months ago, we knew it would happen and it did. Imagine you doing this in a weak ass celica, to bad you didn't get a car with some actual balls then maybe you would have gone off a cliff.

 

[iamwiz82]

anyone who looses control at 20mph in a celica on a dirt road should be beaten. You have to try to loose control at that low of a speed. This isnt snow or ice here, this is frickin DIRT!

You nor your friend will ever have a career in rally racing

 

[TheDingo]

Insurance gave you money already. Cool. Now you can get something... you know... good...

Um, wow, good thing you had a sportier car, any other car may not have been able to accelerate up to a speed capable of doing damage and you wouldn't have had anything to talk about..... I am assuming he did speed up right, either way he is an idiot and doesn't deserve to drive a car.

Yup, I can't believe that it happened at just 20 Mph.

I figured that something like this would happen. This is also why NO ONE but me drives my car.

Maybe you'll learn something out of this.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

Whats the story about the "90 degree turn" pictures. I see you already had scratched it up already. 20mph my ass..if he lost control at 20mph he needs to stick to shopping carts.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Bummer. Get a stick next time.

and painfully slow too.... i think Toyota put a nice body on a Corolla in the Celica GT.. those cars are dogs...

shame though, nice looking car anyways. glad no one was hurt!
