Default Accidents you've had.

Just curious, what accidents have you guys had?... Being a panel beater I've had to fix the aftermath for many people lol!

I've been in a few good ones...

One was in a Subaru L Series wagon, on pulling into the Hungry Jacks drive thru in Mount Gambier got rear ended at 60k and we were stationery... I was in year 11 at school... and so was the chick that hit us (haha and she knew I had a crush on her.. I got the number eventually )

2nd was in my KS Verada... 1st year apprentice panel beater, I knew everything... Was going to macca's during my lunch brake and had a full car... Showing off, I got massive understeer, up a gutter and into a tree.. Tried to BS my way out of it and said I had ABS and locked it up... Got a Regency defect for that...





A few months later, I got rearended on Hindley Street... Wanted a yirous at 1am lol!

Then there was the beloved EFII Fairmont... Was going down to wash it and get a car bra, because I was meant to be driving it from Adelaide - Melbourne that afternoon... Can't rember a great deal, but went too hard into a corner, steped out, went sideways thru a barbwire fence, took out a few fence posts and endedup spitting it backwards into a tree at a good 60+kp/h... That accident was a massive wakeup call for me, as all I remember is seeing 3 massive tree's lined up and one huge thick one lined up spot on with my drivers seat as I went thru the barbwire fence... How the back hit the tree and not the front still has me beat today... Lucky, that being my worst accident, is also the one that I got away from with no injury, all I wanted was my smokes after that... And then my mate let me drive his car back from victoria the other day to get my confidence back (hey I wasn't complaining a mint as AUI XR6 VCT)...







Oh and to anyone who says that a gas tank is unsafe in a crash... BS!, it split my sub box but didn't even scratch the tank!
