Wrecked the celi Options

[DoodieHead]

Well, i did the inevitable. Was going around a curve while it was wet out. slightly pressed brakes and did 2 full donuts. The whole time i was staying on road and was thinking whole time, stay on the road, stay on the road. But, ended up on side of the road. Hit a tree and foot wide fence pole. knocked both down. The car needs quarter panel, trunk, and spoiler. It would be totalled bc damage vs value of car but I'm not turning it into insurance bc i only have liability and it wouldn't do any good. After the wreck, after i got it uncaught from the pole, the car wouldn't go. So I found out that the quarter panel was snug on the driver side tire. Put spare on and drove home. The wheels are alright atleast, I could sell them

atleast youre ok! did anyone see it? i hate when people see me get in an accident or get pulled over! THEY ALWAYS STARE, SAY CRAP, or LAUGH!

I remember one time it was wet outside and i had my honda and the car in front me braked to turn left and i didnt notice it till last second..i slammed on my brakes veered to the right and went into a wet ditch...kids were waiting for a bus and theyre like stunned then they were mocking what i did with their hands...then going BOOM and making it look like an explosion...damn kids! then someone called a cop and he came out and was like i should give you a ticket but ill just tell you that if you hit that telephone pole 2 feet away from your car you would have died...then some guys in a VW drove by while i was with the officer and they laughed and i flicked them off wtih the cop there! :-)

So are you fixing or parting out? I'd hate to see another celi sent to the graveyard....

im planning on fixing, there are no other celis near me and would have to pay quite abit for another that is a long way from here. im just going to rig my quarter panel so it drives and just save for the parts. i also found out that i need new rear bumper. the side of the bumper got ripped off so there is no way to connect bumper to new quarter panel, kinda sucks. funny thing is, i wasn't even mad when i wrecked. only thing i did was say "crap, that sucks" lol

damn that sucks.... something like that happened to me when i first got my celi.... but i guess i was real lucky.... i only hit the curb and made the car go airborn... and bent the wheel really bad and bent the lower control arm but no body damage

DUDE! i just got my car totalled about 3 weeks ago! the damages are not as bad. my front is ripped and the safety bar in the front is dented, dent in gas tank, and a whole lot of cosmetic work. dings and dents everywhere.

I was goin down a hill a little fast and was coming into a 90 courner. i hit the brakes a lil but still coming in too fast, so i put more on brakes and tried to turn into it. wheel locked a lil , so i forced it, turned in too much and tried to counter steer...... it ended up flying off a cliff and into some small trees and bushes. and i felt the same way when i got out of the car........ i just looked at the car and said damn this sucks!

So im in the process of rebuilding myself........ but luckily my stepdad insured the car with full coverage and the insurance has paid the bank off.

i took my car to my automotive vocational college class and put it on lift. found MORE damage, big dent on gas tank and one of the control arms was bent. but i did hammer out some of the quarter panel so i have clearance for my 17" wheel. also, i noticed today that my car actually doesn't have a quarter panel, its one huge piece all the way around, how would shop fix, cut damaged off, cut good piece off of junk celi, weld, grind, and then bondo? just guessing...seems pretty expensive, im working on getting 2nd job at best buy, I got interview in couple days
