    Damn! I truly hate to see that. That car is beautiful. I wish you the best of luck with it. I'm am a bit surprised you only have liability on it. But hey, do what you can afford. Not knocking on that. Any who, Good luck with everything.

    Thanks. Its not that I love the car (its just a car)....its my hobby- something that I put my money into- other than shopping or bettering my own apperence. Some people have shopping, some people have music, some people have bikes.... I do cars. Things happen for a reason, and I accept that. Im glad that I am ok- yet again.... (for fucks sake, if it wasnt for bad luck- I wouldnt have any at all) emotionally I wasnt ok right at first... but things can either turn around for the better or worst.... Im hoping for the better.

    wow. sucks to see that type of shit happenen, ive been through the same shit before and it defintly ruins your whole day....my friend justins celica was perfect....had about 12,000 dollars in mods over the course of 2-3 months...well after he got everything said and done he totaled the fuck outta the car...sucks

    and shit defintly happens

    looking at the pictures that car doesnt look all too bad....not bad enough to say fuck it and sell it...the wheel can be redone and your bumper may need some work but other than that everything looks ok....ive seen far worse

    Ill tell you right now, your mad and what not now but if you really do sell the car and start over...your gonna regret it and miss it badly

    good luck.

    I called FUZION they said that I needed to send pictures, which I did. I talked to the main guy who ive delt with for over a year and a half now- wonderful person to work with. He's going to send in the pictures to bridgestone and see if they cant send me a new tire and re-imburse me for the rim getting repaired. Im gona go ahead and get everything taken care of myself.... that will be a nice pay back when the time comes.

    Damn Lea Anne, I am sorry to hear that happened to you. I really loved the car and thought it was beautiful ... Hopefully if you decide to start another project that it will turn out just as nice as the Celica did.

    thanks fellas. We will see where this takes me and how I feel after the car is repaired. I might keep it, and might not- you never know.

    So you are repairing the car for sure? Excellent to hear. I'm glad to hear that the Celica will be resurrected. Keep us posted with photos I can't wait to see how it turns out.

    no offense to this girl but i find it funny that people dump thousands of dollars into a car and keep liability on it only... call it what you want but i think people are retarded for doing so.. why not save a bit of money that you are spending on all these mods and drop a tad bit more on insurance... and for the statement of i dont or didnt expect anything to happen...no shit huh.. think about it does anyone expect shit to happen... that is why insurance is there...

    Agree 110%. If you have the money to drop into the car dont whine and say "I have no money for insurance". If thats the case get out of the hobby and buy a car you can afford to insure.

    I find it funny you say this.... I havent modded my car in over a year- everything that has been put on the car this year has been free (sponsorships) or from insurance. (the deer shit) I have had a little bit of debt since the deer incident. I had full coverage on there for 2 months after the accident...put it on liability due to the fact I couldnt afford it anymore. And I didnt think shit would happen. If you can afford 360$ per month, by all means go ahead and pay it. But im not rich. I was helping my mom out with shit, had other bills....etc.etc. I just couldnt do it. And shit happens. After this one though its going back on full.... but through a diff. company.

    im not gonna wish this on anyone , it sucks. sorry to see that happen to your car.

    However , some points ill make:
    1) FIX THE CAR, no matter what it costs, cause its worth $1.37 the way it sits now. you could put $1500 into it, and itll make the car worth $5000 more. its a opportunity cost worth taking.
    2) Low on funds? there are TONS of ways to get money. SMall loan from a bank, put your car up as collateral, parents, family, credit cards, etc. $1500 is chump change, if you cant make it in less than 30 days, then something is wrong. My friend (who shall remain nameless) wrecked her car. her car had a $5000 front end on it. the next day she went an got a small personal loan from her bank/credit union, and fixed her car. She just recently paid the loan off (2 years later)
    3) Take this criticism with a grain of salt. no ones PICKING on you, just pointing out things you may want to consider in the future. Full Coverage on that kind of car with that much shit done to it is worth it IMO. hell i BOUGHT my race car CRX for $200, but i have $10,000 invested in it. i have it insured right now for $6000. so at the end of the day if it burns to the ground , i get AT LEAST $6000. i pay $157 a month. liability was $55 a month, its worth it to spend the extra $102 a month. cause its about RISK. I choose not to take one.
    Case in point, my friend had his EG hatrch stolen. he had 10K invested in it. he had liability only. guess what, he got a stripped bare shell back, and nothing to show for it. i almost cried when i saw his car, i couldnt imagine losing that much money, and that much hard work on something because i didnt spend $100-200 more a month.

    PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.

    Good Luck

    did you talk to your tire sponsor? about your tire giving up all of a sudden....there should be a way or maybe that you can make them to pay for the repairs coz the tire doesn't look like....it's bald or something. Remember the Firestone problem with Explorers. I think it's worth a shot.

    along the lines with vteckidd, get Agreed Value insurance. yes u will pay more but i fu can show them receipts of your expenditures u will get the total of your receipts. Thats why i have kept every receipt for my 240. my motor is worth waaay more than the car but i get the full amount of what i spent if i total the car out.

    I know a guy that had 20k invested in a Z32 and he received his full 20k because he kept records of what it was worth. jsut search and see which insurance companies offer the best agreed value insurance.

    Thanks for the input Julio.

    And GSR....

    I am driving it!! I dont have another car to drive, and I cant drive my moms due to her work schedual.... so I have no choice... Plus I cant buy another one so, thats outa the question. I am not putting it up for sale because I wrecked it...I think its honestly time *FOR ME* to grow up, and get outa this for a while- im sick of putting money into my car (with repairs and what not) And im sick of not doing anything for myself....everything ive really earned has gone into that damn car, insurance, gas, repairs..etc.etc. Im sure ill get back into it later when I have a better job and what not. Right now I need to have a stock car....something reliable....not low...etc.etc. I cant really be afraid to mess the car up again considering its a daily driver. I can just hope for the best. I think I am pretty sure of what I am getting next...I wont be posting it up though until my car is gone, and the new one is in my posession.
