Ever written of a car?	Tue, 12 August 2003 02:21

This has probably been done before, so sorry - I'm just wondering if anyone has written a car off and how did you do it? I wrote my old '85 Magna off twice. Bought back the "scrap" from the insurance company the first time, fixed it up and off I went until the 2nd time when the scrap wasn't worth it. The 1st time an ambo flew through a red light without even slowing down. I had no chance at stopping in time and plowed into the new Falcon in front (with nice new braked no doubt). The second time was all my fault. After a hard day at work, I was driving over to my G/F's for dinner. I remember thinking "Jeez, there's a lot of cars around tonight" then then I found myself in the back of one of them. Not nice. I missed out on a roast dinner. Just a side note: my sister has hit 2 parked cars because she drove off with the sterring lock on. It must be genetic. [Updated on: Tue, 12 August 2003 02:25] [Report message to a moderator]

remind me never to get in the car with your brother. I do crazy stuff, but I stay in control (mostly) and minimise risk (even though other people think they're gonna die) [Report message to a moderator]

my brother destroyed my lovely 81 Bluebird with adjustable steering, freezing a/c and 78k only on the clock on Pennant Hills Rd. into the wall underneath the big fence blocking off the Golf Course near the M2. I will scan some piccies in when I can, but he totally destroyed the car and was lucky not to be injured himself. Was rainy, and in the evening, but damm he destroyed it!

Rear ended a dato 180b at around 80 k's at night, centre lane, hume highway. In my first car, 68 landrover. Funny part was he was parked changing a flat! We had to pick him up and carry him to the footpath as he was crouched at the wheel at the time. No lights on family of seven in the car at the time (while jacked up, yes they were foreigners). To say he was a little shaken up is an understatement, though to the dato's credit no one else was hurt. [Report message to a moderator]

Back in the days when me and my bro were Holden boys I had a clean VK Commodore which some c*nts slole. I assume that its written off? Also, my bro had his VP Berlina rear ended by some bitch named DEBRA LEVIQUE, who had a 0.13 BAC. My bro's car got pushed into the back of a black Pugeot 306 so both ends were rooted. Stupid DEBRA LEVIQUE was drunk so her insurance wouldn't pay up. Neither would she. I mean the car was valued at $7500 and she only paid up $3000. We are waiting a year before we go torch her new Astina SP20 so the cops don't make a connection. [Report message to a moderator]

Of course I wouldn't really torch her car, maybe just ding it up a little. Laughing

Nah, it's just damn annoying that people think they can drink drive and then walk away leaving an innocent 18 year old student to pick up the pieces. Mad

wow, that rips the ass off of my effort. looks like ur lucky to be alive and deserve every cent u get out of her. There was a lot of blood in mine too but only mine. I split the top of my head open somehow, still dont know what on but the scar is on the top of my head. I wear a necklace and the blood ran down onto it and around my neck. My mate thought i had split my neck open. I think you and i both are very lucky to be alive let alone walking. [Report message to a moderator]

Benen, you could say that... I am extremely lucky that I am alive... I'm still consistant on the belief that the safety catch on my seatbelt failed cause I was sitting right back and my head made extreme contact with my MOMO race steerer... It fractured my skul in two places and now I suffer from memory loss and yeah, a big scar... My entire face was covered in blood, it was all through the car and I found bits of skin and blood when I took the steering wheel apart to clean it all up... [Report message to a moderator]

Hint to anyone out there, if you get a MOMO wheel (and I don't suggest you do in a road car), make sure you get the collapsible bracket for it, and that it is E3 standard (or something like that). You'll still hit the wheel in a road car (even with a good seat-belt) but it'll give a little, and if you are in a really really big accident, it'll crush your internal organs less - which helps out the surgeons later on I personally feel that every car should have proper harnesses, but it's a little too inconvenient and messy for most. Plus they say something about "spinal compression" in accidents but I'd rather spinal compression than head/skull compression. [Report message to a moderator]
