haha heya, well hondas have always been in my family, my mum has a 99 civic, my dad had a 2000 accord (till he wrote it off, then insurance repaired it and a month later it literly fell apart, lol timing belt snapped and caused a mess, now he owns a jeep renegade thats been recalled about 8 times since he's had it!) my auntie drives a oddesy, my cousin drives a civic, the older boxy shape ones and my grandparents used to have a maroon civic, which i sold for them this year, was the best condition civic, i wish i came on here to sell it tho! was a 98 manual with 75000km, logbooks everything, never missed a service, sold for 10k!Quote:

4 accidents in under a year! Just after I got her home that night, I went to go for a cruise and when I went to start her, all I could her is ‘click’ ‘click’ :( lol the engine wouldn’t turn over! Ah I almost cried! I picked her up for $5.3 with 160km and she was auto, I thought I’ wasted all my cash! But luckily, being a lil more mechanically mindd than ur average 19 yr old blondie haha I figured it was my starter motor so from that day forward I carried my wheel brace (aka my starter motor whacker) by my side to start her up when she was being stubborn haha until I left it behind at the drags in wetherill park, then I jst carried round a hammer!
But ya, my first accident with her was when some guy cut infront of me at a amber light and I went straight up his ass :( car wasn’t too bad, bonnent was misaligned a lil and radiator support was a lil bent but his piece of shit astra was more buckled than mine, stupid tight asSes trying to claim compo! “ahHh my neck! My back! owW I cant walk!” I was like phft, I hit them at 30km/hr haha be a man!!! Went thru insurance which was good coz I got my bonnet resprayed black with red flexx for heaps cheap :D also scored new front bar which the previous owner buckled.
Then next accident some guy wasn’t looing and hit my front guard which was cool coz that already had a small ding in it, so that got fixed for free :D then another time I was driving next to a friend and a car pulled out infront of him which he was bound to hit so I jumped on the brakes and let his swerve into my lane to avoid accident, lol but when I did that over the hill behind me came a 4wd, luckily it only nudged me, so I told the guy not to worry bout it :D
Then lastly I was at a set of lights one night and a taxi ran up my ass :( pushed me into intersection where oncoming traffic was, I opened my eyes n saw headlights coming towards me on my right so I quickly sped to the other side of the intersection before they hit me.
Here are some pics of the old girl!
The add for her on carsales (I also got the nick name ‘white bonnet for a while lol’

as you can see in the next couple of pics, there was only a few hrs between when the pics were taken, and in the first few I had my brand new 18s on her and in the pics with the accident I only had the shit 17’s on her-totally lucky!
I bought a set of 18” apaches, the day before, and when I had a look at them in the light, I could see runs and overspray and stuff so I took them back the 2nd day I had them to get resprayed, but before I took them back I decided to take heaps of pics with them on considering I didn’t have ANY pics of her at all! Then after dropping the wheels off, about 5hrs later, coincidently about 50m down the road from where I bought them, is where my car was written off lmfao!!
So thankfully I was able to keep my wheels and not get flamed by nrma for wearing illegal wheels :D
(p.s 2 weeks later I got my wheels back, and I still have them, so if anyones keen for a brand new FRESHLY reprayed rims, lol pm me :D)

a month later I happened to be browsing on ebay and I came across an add for a repairable write off celica, it caught my eye coz I noticed it had a white bonnet, and I thought to myself lol it looks like my old celica when I first bought her-then I had a closer look and I noticed it had black light lids, and when I saw the damage I realized it WAS my old celica!! Lol I was so excited I drove all the way to mount druit jst to see her one last time! Haha this guy bought her at the auctions for 2.5 k, took the bonnet off and resprayed for his daughters celica, took the 17s off and resprayed them gold, and took off the airfilter (which I made myself :D) and used it on his sons car! Lol I showed him pics of how she used to look and that and he thought it was so funny that I came all that way jst to see her lol (on the phone I jst told him I was interested in purchasing so it was a big surprise! Lol) lol it was all a bit lame, but she was my first car and having her taken away so quickly was kinda upsetting, so getting to see her one last time, made me feel really good :D
