Two stories.
My Parents got my my first car, a '99 Buick Century, for $4k when i was sixteen. And though i loved that car, i was an idiot with it and ran the shit out of it. Never once got a ticket in the 3 yrs i had her, even though i almost religiously drove at least 20mph over the speed limit. I actually got into 4 accident with it. The first some tourists in the parking lot of my first job backed out of a parking space, apparently forgot to put the car in drive, then reversed onto the hood of my car. It was a rental they had insurance no big.
Then a few months later some lady driving a medical supply PT Cruiser dropped her cig on her lap and slammed on the brakes and i barely nudged the back end of it when i stopped, no damages, not even a scratch to either car, but she flipped and calle dthe cops. One of the cops was my buddies older brother and explained to her that since she was carrying oxygen and they would include that in the report, that she'd better drop it if she wanted to keep her job. So no big there.
Then about two weeks after that i was driving home from work with my cousin and some guy in an f-150 slammed into the back of my car while i was stopped at a stoplight. Completely destroyed the front end of his f-150 it couldn't even drive off. Bent my trunk a bit so it had a bubble. No frame damage.
I had a manifold/intake i'm not sure exactly what issue and spent 1800 on getting a new engine for it, and two weeks after i got my car back, the day before i was set to get new tires, i'm been burning out a quite alot that day. and was heading from ones friends house to anothers. I was doing about 70 in a 50 with a gto weaving in and out of traffic like i always did, when i noticed it was sprinkling so i started slowing down and as i was going over an overpass, i must've hit an oil spot for another accident of something but my back end just came out and hit the side shoulder. Car was FWD btw. So i over corrected but since my tires were practically bald i ended up losing control. When i looked up i realized i was about to drive off of the overpass ~20ft up. so i turned into the divider wall and the car did a back flip. I had to crawl out the back windshield sinc ethe doors were bent shut. I was fine, the GTO driver came back and helped me out. No ticket, the cops blamed it on the street lights being out and it being a blind corner.
The other story is. With the money i got from that wreck i got a 04 Regals LS which though i did nothing to, it had the 3.8 that's in the V6 camaro/firebird, i could keep up with a 04 Mustang GT from 0-100. And could burn out to my hearts content. Well 8 months after the first wreck, I was heading home since i'd spent the night studying at a friends house. I live about 30 miles away. And i was doing 70 in a 65 and some old lady ran a red as i was approaching the intersection and i hit the back end of her car. Totalled both.
and i'll add those pics as soon as i track them down.
