Last week I was driving on gravel, my fault not paying attention, and went off the road. Guess that road curved and when I slid off I hit the railroad tracks frown Popped front left tire, bent the rim, both airbags off, bent the frame back and down and some others. Lucky me I wasnt going very fast to start so the impact wasnt bad, but still, have had the car for less than a year and really liked it, so hopefully get another gp, I love this car

That sucks James. I once slid off the highway at 70 mph in the rain. Hit a tree with my Cut Supreme. Miraculously I only scratched the bumper. That was the day I knew someone up above was watching watching out for me, and I got my stuff together real quick after that.

So what are you doing with your old car? If you want to part it out, I might take the grills if they aren't bent, depending on what you want for them.

and oh yeah, yes that sucks. I once slide sideways across a lawn, popped my tires, then the rims just gripped the dirt and I flipped. worst night ever. Thank God for full coverage insurance (as well as my safety)! I hope things turn out alright.

Insurence company is taking it soon, and the bottom left grill is bent, but could easily be bent back to look normal, still interested?

Let me know if UMFan is no longer interested in the grills.

Good luck on your new car search

That's pretty damn scary. Imagine if someone was leaning over that at the time.
