This morning at my girlfriend’s house I woke up to see that my car was not parked where I left it...
Where was it?
It was 100m down her drive way against a post :thumbdn:
How did it get there?
I had left my parking brake off on a very slight hill.
Why did I do that?
Because I am stupid.
Anyway here are a couple of low quality pics, damage wasn’t as bad as I expected considering how far it had rolled.

So I dragged my girlfriend to the wreckers & sorted out a front bumper replacement (most of the accords had frontal damage) a new fog light & a rear boot spoiler I spotted on another accord, it’s like a lip but I think it will look cool. I go in on Monday to pick them up!

that's too bad that happened. i still put the hand brake on even with my automatics. kind of a habbit. hey, so when you get that spoiler show us some pix. i bet its the little "duck bill" type spoiler. if so that's pretty desireable for most of us.

Hey Dudes & Dudettes
Just got back from the wreckers, got my fog light, didn’t manage to get a new bumper yet because his forklift broke down & the accord is stacked on top of some other cars so I can’t reach!
Also I got the spoiler off the si, was contemplating on stealing the rear brake discs as well for an engine conversion later on, but I left them behind :thumbdn:
Hers spoiler, needs painting to match mine obviously...

He also offered me a complete Honda Accord for $80! works perfectly fine but the owner couldn’t bring it up to warrant standards so they dumped it, I am sort of keen, I will have a think about it...I could possibly fix it up & sell it, it has a dual carbed 1.8 dohc/auto.
Ciao!
