okay, so i don't have any pictures at the very moment. but what happened was... i was coming down a moderate hill in a subdivision and i was coming to a corner that i needed to turn, i come around a tree and there's a stopped bus... hmmm... 240D + rear end of school bus... how about those bus recovery hooks... anywho. um. i attempted to slow the car down as much as possible... and durrr. it locked up on the snow/ice combo and very... bluntly slid into the curb. the hubcap went FLYING off into the yard of a friend of mine... and suprisingly the wheel so far has turned out better than planned... its still... there... although im thinking about putting my spare on for the time being.
i was looking @ both the inner fender & the spare tire... the rim in the spare looks good... some surface rust... and the inner fender has been decently taken care of considering its history... there's meh... I'd say somewhere around a 4 X 4 or 5 inch piece of sheet metal welded into the top of it where there was ovbiously rust. and then it was coated in some nasty black stuff. im seeing that things && that black stuff have shifted and there is some visable space... and im freaking out about it...
how hard is the inner fender to replace? and if i need to should i have my rather rusted frame boxed in w/ steel while im in there?!?
im soooo upset. like... um... the parents don't know yet...
and they wont let me drive anything else in this weather...
as for the spare...
it has seen some use...
and its definately worn on the inner side... clearly something was off at one point in time... do you guys think it would be "okay" to drive for maybe a month until i can come up with proper funds?
i had some... um... $$$ issues today... && I'll post something else about that in a minute.
oh oh oh. fyi. I paid 2K plus tax & title for my car and i now have 300 in brakes 900 in floors 100 in oilchanges, and about another 600 in exaust...
so i've got everything plus some in it...
i owe my parents meh... 1900 total..
should i just BEG them to cosign a loan so i can get this very sleek 03 C230 sport coupe w/ 71K miles????
dealership wants 16,400, but I know their sun. so automatically dropped to 14,5
