MUST VENT Yesterday was a really good day i graduated yr 12 and we were all planning on going to the beach with 4 car loads of people everything was going great till around 2 pm i was driving around eastwood on my way to manly folowing a mate and he all of a sudden locked up and i ended up smashing into his towbar my front bar was raped hard, no 1 was hurt thats the main thing, so yerh we both pulled over and talked bout what had happened, and apparently he had to lock up because of an idiot in front of him turning right with no indication into a no right turn st, my mate had to lock up and then so did i , i unfortunatly was the unlucky one the car who turned was never to be found cause he was out of there now as soon as that happened i started blaming myself for what had happend, but i kept trying to think of what i had done wrong, ( i know i am a p plater and some of you may think i am lying or was driving like an idiot) but i was legitimatly driving safely - i wasnt speeding - i kept a safe distance it was just that my mate at front locked up on the last minute and then i couldnt have done anything, we went back to check on the road there werent even any skid marks, so we werent even going fast at all it was just my bad luck but now about the car this is what has pretty much happened at the point by bar was dented in hard cuz of the towbar which obviously dented in my reinforcement bar into my fan a little bit - the radiator was kind of damaged aswell and if i tried to start my car , after a while the fan would try to start working but it would get on the reinforcement bar causing it to make a real nasty noise whihc would make me cry. but fortunatly enough i called up my mate who has panel beating experience and he helped undent the front bar and same with the reinforcment bar, and for some reason he had a new radiator for corollas hanging around so he chucked that on with a condenser aswell and it was good as new..( well nearly lol) n drivable also in the accident the two plastic covers for the foglight area had disappered :( so pretty much this is what is going to happen, everything happens for a reason i say, and i stick by that My mate in front car is willing to go half in the payments because he felt really bad bout what had happened and wont have "clear conscience" if he doesnt pay for anything so money wise im covered but what i had in plan was actually going out and buying a sportivo front as my one was just the normal ascent one i was planning on doing this way out in the future , by buying the front lip and attaching it onto the front, but seeing this is happened i thought i might aswell go out and get the actaully sportivo bumper, so yerh hopefully on monday im getting a quote. but yerh the main thing was that no 1 got hurt and that i really couldnt have done anything to prevent it. but yerh feels good venting take care
