Smashed the front left suspension. Was driving into work and hit a planter when the brakes locked up. Check page 10 for pics.

1.24.08

New Pioneer DEH-1500. Not a Clarion but it sounds way nice. Much louder and I can shake the car now :) gonna put my subs back in after I get the new box my friend said he'd make me.

UPDATE
Windshield got busted up by a fight at the neighbors house... was sleeping and woke up to a busted windshield. Replacing within the week.

FIXED!!

A little in it's past:

It's been in my life since it was new in 94. I was five when my grandparents got it, and they had it all the way up until July when I turned 18, and I got it. It's had a rough life. They had it and kept it in good shape but then there was an accident. A pickup smashed into the front left fender and dented it real good. Well my grandpa found it funny to put a bumper sticker of a band aid on it that said ouch. So that was a permanent fixture. Later on when we moved to California, a slightly larger pickup smashed into the tail gate at a stop light doing about 35. So this left a good amount of damage, including the hatch not being able to open or shut properly. And to further this damage, a key was jammed into the lock and snapped off. So the hatch was pretty messed up.

So now for the images to fill in the blanks of the story:

Okay so, here's a quick picture of the spot where the fender was hit:

As you can see, I pulled the whole fender off... (That was fun...) And I pushed the dent back through as best as I could. Then I removed the bumper sticker. I scraped it up a bit taking off the sticker but that was because it was caked on there from years of old heat.

Here's the hatch area... Only pic I have right now of it. The tail light on the right got cracked, and the hatch was pushed up in there and the side piece under the light was shifted. This made it very impossible to open and close. Especially with the key being stuck.

Well in short the car was trashed when I got it.... Now for my fun.
