Just another bad day

So here is the day I was hoping to enjoy, just another 4wd adventure.


But I came around a corner, fish tailed and hit a tree (then did a 180, don't know how that happened though).



This was on the way home so I still had a good 4wd, it just took a little longer to get home than expected.

I’m lost on feeling though. I’m confused how it happened. I came out of it ok, mum is shaken up again.
I’m sad that I won’t be able to drive anywhere, but it is not going to bring me to tears.
The tow truck guy suggested that the car will be a write off, so I guess all of the work I’ve put into the car just dissapears.
I’m not particularly worried about the money on the car, because I’ve had a blast in it. But I kinda wish it lasted longer.
I could just replace the car, but does that mean I would have to go back to work to build the funds up again…
Does the freedom the car gives me outway the freedom I wanted from my own project…

Nasty,

I’d get a proper assessment before writing it off, looking at that external damage the only thing I can think of that I’d write it off for is kinked chassis rails.

That is assuming you’re willing to do the work on it yourself, if you were going to get it done “professionally” it’s probably a write off on cost.

  1. Mate,

    Looks like a bucket of smashed crabs... Hope its just cosmetic.

    Whats this "i dont know how I did a 180" talk, the last time I went out driving with you we saw similar mud fueled pirouettes!

    Looks like a hollywood job: fix the nose, wash off the dirt and get back into the set!
