it does look the same

ya its good to buy a salavaged car and restore it, casue it saves so much money
my uncle did all the work at his shop so i got it for dirt cheap
but u do take a gamble when u do that but i wasnt worried becasue my uncle said it was all good
i couldnt pass up on it casue it had only 15k miles on it

i fell in love with the car when i saw it in that condition

 

+1

 

i let my boss drive it the 2nd day i got it only cuz i wouldn't have been able to afford it without his approval of my big promotion! other than that...thats it, none of my buddies are trustworthy enough yet. I let my best friend drive my prelude once, got it hungup taking it out of the parking lot.

 

I never wear flipflops driving my car. I did it once for a quick trip and it was just too annoying... but I'm a size 13. I don't care if it's the dead of summer, I just won't drive stick with flipflops, too much could go wrong. Let this thread be a warning...

 

Yah, big +1 on the flip-flops. The true worst-case scenario is having one slip off and getting wedged underneath your brake pedal. Car no stop good :-)

Take 'em off, and put them in the passenger seat.

 

sorry about car man, and speaking of flip flops, they suck for driving, ill get into my girlfriends car and find them already around the pedals cuz she just leaves em there, and her screwy bimmer floormats always sneak up on the pedals

 

OK, time to come out of the hiding and into the real world!

I am the one who owns the car and the one who let my friend drive it. Never, will another soul drive my vehicle. Not because of a trust issue, but because it sux watching one of your best friends, who you not only trust with your life but also with your car, shrink into a tiny ball and fade away into a black hole. Oh, and another reason why… because it REALL REALLY SUX watching your car going into the ditch and being helpless to do anything about it.

So also let me clarify some points...
- I had the car 26 hours, not three days. He was the first and only friend I let drive the car after I bought it.
- There was no guardrail (thank god), he drove straight through an intersection and into a ditch. He didn't hit anything other than a ditch.
- I never thought to check to see what shoes (or flops) he was wearing, otherwise he would have not been driving my car. I never drive with flip flops, they are an accident waiting to happen as you all have noted!
- Only damage done to the body is to the front. From the doors back is perfect, minus 1 out of place muffler and a flat tire.
- Rims are still in perferct condition and are not for sale.

Thanks for the support… and no you can’t drive my car.

 

Blah blah blah, details details. Didn't have a chance to fact-check the story, so I took some slight creative liberties. I think my version is better...I should've added that he swerved to avoid a bus full of nuns and crippled children! And then the car exploded! This could be a movie-of-the-week by the time I'm done.

Welcome to the forums buddy...once you get your car back in one piece, we'll work on getting you some coilovers and a supercharger. [sm=gears.gif]

I was expecting worse. Let's hope they do not find anything else.

 

This is the exact flip flop color and model I was wearing. When mixed with water, does not play nice with german automobiles.

Honestly the worst feeling ever.
