And you thought Mt. Hammy was bad...

ROFL... So I get a call from a towing company telling me they are conducting a lien sale on my car. The only strange part was that I traded it in about 2 weeks before. Turns out it got smashed up on it's FIRST test drive after smog and safety. They literally pulled out of the service drive out into the Automall Loop in Fremont and some lady crosses three lanes at about 50MPH and smashes head on into the front of the car. Saaad...

Only parted out a couple things. I had no stock parts, and I was in a hurry.

I traded it in for a 2004 AW 6-speed M3

No sale, it was because the dealership wasn't bothering to pick it up since it has more than $4000 in damage. They are paying for it sitting there now, so it's still the dealerships... I couldn't believe it when I heard it, crazyyyy...

It feels ****ty because of the time and money I put into it, but luckily I got the money I was looking for out of it... just sad to hear it went to waste that quickly. =/

Anyone notice the windshield cracked on the right side? The airbag broke it... lol

I got in a wreck in my cavalier a few years back. When the airbags went off, the windshield literally blew out in one piece. lol

lawsuit for what. I'm sure it was sold as is.



Oh...and air bags nearly always break the windshields of any car. It's how they're designed. the cover from the passenger bag gets flipped up into the windshield. I've seen cars with damn near no damage at all have the airbag go off and bust the windshield. Between the bags and the windshield it costs more than the actual car damage sometimes....but hell...better the glass than my face.

I know how you feel. My last car was like that. I put a lot of time and money into it. Finally sold it and the guy I sold it to totalled it less than 6 weeks later.
