Didn't you just get the car?

Do you want to keep the Hero driving off the road please.

Bad luck man. I done the same thing in a holden ute. Both of the wheels on the right hand side of the car slammed hard into the gutter and looks like yours does now. Alot of things had to be replaced and if i went through insurance it would of cost around 4500 for parts alone.

It is a bad feeling i know, i did mine 2 hours before midnight mass on easter, oh what a bad feeling! :(

Yes, now i know what we're all doing wrong. We're not Takumi... :P

haha, oh yeah. me too. I wrote off my first car in the rain by bending the axle to almost a right angle.

I tried to overtake a truck... in the attempt my near bald rear tyres refused. causing me to fishtail and then do a 180... at which point i was face to face with the truck i was trying to overtake - i thought i was a goner... but i slammed hard sideways into the gutter and the truck zoomed past me barely missing me. not a soul stopped to help me. It was so bad.

The right rear wheel was jammed against the body work, the left wheel was trying to escape the guard and the center of the axle was bentso hard it looked like it wanted to touch the ground.

complete write off.

wow, after the three stories ive told on these forums tonight I really come across as a bad driver...

mm..maybe u just drive too fast and too reckless...drive slowly..and any damage u do will be way less...

I picked up a rear axle from a 05 Levin from a wreckers... 600 bucks :)

Toyota quoted me 1500 i think.. saved myself a few bucks
