Today just couldn't get any better![/sarcasm]
I just got home from Yakima, and I decided I'd take the canyon road in my Sentra SE-R. I was going about the speed limit(50 in a 45, though the corner had an advised speed of 40) around a sharp-ish corner and there was a huge rock in my lane, probably a foot in diameter. Hitting the rock would've damaged the front subframe and engine most likely and there was no oncoming traffic, so I swerved to miss the rock, but my car couldn't keep traction around the sharp corner. I locked up the brakes, braced myself, and slid straight into the guardrail at about a 20 degree angle. The front fender took the biggest hit, while the guardrail scraped the whole side of the car and smashed in my rear quarter panel as well. My front suspension was also damaged on the driver's side(conveniently...I'd just replaced the front strut, lower control arm, and hub/spindle/bearing on that side.) And my parking lights, turn signals, fog lights, interior lights, and alarm no longer work. I managed to slowly make it home, took some pictures, then shot some aerosol primer sealer onto the bare metal areas to prevent rusting. This sucks ass...now I've got no working Celica and a beater that looks like a complete POS and can't be driven. Today just plain sucked. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
