Yes, you can't really tell from the photo but the passenger seat was unusable as well.

I wonder if it is legal to drive such a heavily damaged car. I cannot imagine the required safety devices are operational in it.

Everything is legal unless you get caught!


Duct tape does in fact fix all.



My duct tape CV joint seems to agree.

It said duct tape, but I got it at the dollar store so I deserve it.

As long as it makes it to the 18th, I am fine.

Should buff right out.

The In - surance companies calls those, "driveable total losses".

Looks like it was a GM Chevy Cavalier or Cobalt to me, a POS from the day it was brand new.


Too bad cash 4 clunkers is over, he could have got 4500 smackers for it on a trade in, on a 2009 dodge caliber <-----a BRAND NEW clunker.
