Was coming home from BP's on Wed night. Went around the corner and my gas peddle decided to get stuck under my floor mat. To make a long story short...... went straight into the curb.... Lots of damage... :( Two rims, left tie rod ends, left lower control arm, hub retainer nut, and the tensioner strut rod. I'm going to fix it myself. Luckley there was no real body damage so there's a plus... :) I'm going to post some pics when i get a chance....

Nope... The car just kept on going... I couldn't stear out of it..... I tried to slam on the brakes but that didn't work.... Oh well...... It's not going to cost me all that much..... I figure around $600 after all is said and done.....

Or really fun to drive..... I'm just getting sick of putting money into the damn thing....... I've put well over $1000 into repairs into in the last month alone..... Not to mention all the repairs I put into it before hand.......

if your car is an auto, your gonna have a very expensive repair bill, i am glad that for the most part your car is alright and you are too. I have been in a simular accident but in my case my friends car, we were driving down the road and the carb spring snaped and the throttle opened wide and we went flying into someones yard, and his car was a write off. Are you ganna replace the floor mats with ones that will not catch on the gas pedle or just leave it and hope it never happens again?

I already through the damn thing in the garbage...... But tha tranny problem has nothing to do with the crash..... It's just something else that is going wrong

that's a fair amount of bent metal in the suspension :)
Luckly when my throttle got stuck open once, i was trying to get into traffic, and i was going straight :) but i just hit the throttle again and tossed it in Neutral, luckly that disengaged it.. and my Throttle got stuck open at the throttle body :)
