Freak accidents cost to much...<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>

 

that sucks man...every1 ok?

 

sorry man, i just got in my first fenderbender, i tapped a guy and left a paint chip off on my moms car about a quarter size... barely tapped anything... 300$ to get it repainted

 

ya...its way over priced...but its how they make their money. Ya me and my 2 friends with me are fine, a lil shakin up top was down and a tree ripped off the roll-bar (style-bar). Its pretty bad. I will load up some photos here in a bit.</P>


Cheers Jason</P>

 

man, i don't have any suggestions, i just wanted to say sorry man that really sucks

 

Glad to see you're okay...but that wasn't a freak accident. If you had been cruising responsibly & obeying the posted speed limits, chances are you would be driving your 'Vert again today.

Take it as a learning experience.

 

Actualy I was under the posted limit of 45. It just got away from me in the sand. I am scanning the damage photos of the car now, and will be posting them shortly.</P>

By the way you explained it, it would appear your tires were spinning before you hit the sand?

 

That's not a freak accident, it was reckless endangerment. When you're purposely spinning the tires to kick the *** end out in first, second, AND third, THEN hit sand, it wasn't the sand's (or car's) fault, it was yours.

 

ok so maybe it was not a "freak accident", but i never blamed anybody but myself and my stupidy. Altho is was all under control until I went into the sand. It just dosent change the fact that it happened. Thanks for your insights Cheets
