Hey look! It's me Being and idiot,no but here are some pretty good pics of me not being a dufus.

This little story begins about two years ago. One Saturday morning I wake up expecting to go on a boring family trip to go to Marine World, which I've been to about a million times due to our season passes, when all of a sudden my Dad says that we are taking a side trip to Sacramento, which is quite a bit out of the way, to get me a Mitsubishi Eclipse. You can imagine how excited I was to hear this news seeing how I've been obsessing about this wondrous car since I read about it in some car mag back '94. My Dad, being a minister, was up all night praying the night before and looking for cars for my Mom who's car had just recently crapped out,when he saw this Eclipse for $2400 on cars.com and was like "What's wrong with it?" he tried calling the guy three times and on the third time he picked up and said that he was the first one to call about the car. They spoke about the car for a while briefly and when we were ready to leave my Dad called to let the guy know that we were coming and he said that we'd better hurry because he's had twelve other calls about the car since my Dad's call.

As soon as we got to the place I was ready to leave with my new car before I had even met the guy of gotten the keys :) Silly me! Anyway, we checked out the car and it seemed fine so I gave the guy a big wad of cash, he smiled BIG

Then he gave me the keys and we were off to Marine World, the day seemed almost downhill after that, but that's where I was wrong, because I get to drive the car to the theme park and then home (YAY!).

Three days later the clutch blew out on my way home from college. :(

A few months went by and I was doing great with my new car that God had provided for me when all of a sudden my "best friend" from highs cool drops in to say hi and next thing I know we were in the air doing a double roll off a two hundred foot cliff, hitting a tree, and landing safely on all four now flat tires at the bottom lucky to be alive. While I was in shock these paramedics or somebody had me sign these papers stating that I wasn't hurt but apparently they were papers (pre-filled-out) requesting a tow truck service other than my A-1 Towing that I pay for to come pick up my "litter" out of the National Forest. Meanwhile my parent's have been informed that I was involved in a "fender bender" in the hills about twenty minutes away from our house, when they got there they were freaked that I was in a wreck not a fender bender like previously stated. A week later I found a bill from the towing company for $4600 for towing and storage, which I asked them to tow the car to my house, but they wanted cash in hand $800 just for coming up. That crazy tow-truck-guy has the gall to charge me for the work he made me do going up and down the hill attaching cables and such to the car turning the steering wheel and pulling levers to crank that baby up the cliff. After all this I go to check on my car and half of the expensive equipment I had in the car was gone (taken for collateral which somehow got lost), I took as much off that baby as I could.

Here's my friend and I thanking the good Lord for sparing our lives from a horrible accident.

Here you can see the tree smashed from the driver's side to the passenger's side right behind the two front seat headrests.

This picture is a dim reminder of my former car's smile.

And this closes the chapter of my first car. Page two is car number two. :)
