so ... driving ~40mph down a back road on the way to dinner tonight ... for some reason, still unknown to me, my car decided to lose traction in the drizzle today and do some SWEET dorifto action at an almost-90* angle right off the road
jumped off the edge of the road, caught air ... slammed down into a ditch, and slid ON to 3 trees ... yeah, not into ... ON to ... trees smashed up my driver side front & rear doors pretty bad, took out the driver's side mirror, and was holding the car up in the air so i couldnt drive anywhere (open diff FWD ftl)
this pretty much sucks ... the good news is my engine is in perfect condition still, and the k-sports survived the mayhem with ease ... the bad news is, i need to replace both doors on the driver side & that side mirror ... idk what to do about insurance, they cant see the k-sports because GEICO doesnt like modifications, even if its got nothin to do with the accident ... and i am 20, so it will kill my insurance rates, especially just for 2 doors and a mirror ... frame looks okay, so i dont think they would total it but idk
pics will be up shortly....
oh yeah, and im okay - had to slide out the pass. door and all, but drove the car back to the rotary graveyard (jfaplanet's house) and went to dinner ... now im back ... kinda not lookin forward to driving home because i think i tore up the underside (looks like just frame rails & exhaust, no serious dmg) ... but my door is bent half-open so its gonna be wind & noise central on the way home
