    Not a good start to the day

    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
    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.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    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
    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!
