Attacked by Crazy Guardrail - or Me Driving Like a Jack4ss (pics)
Well, to make a long story short. I was driving like an idiot on a merge ramp lined on both sides by guardrails. I lost control, started fishtailling, *almost* recovered, when my back corner glanced off the guardrail. I wound up facing back down the ramp facing my friend who was following me and saw the whole thing. I got off lucky and only suffered damage to the bumper cover. No sheetmetal or taillight damage at all. :whew:
I went to the bodyshop today. $500 for a new cover and paint.

Rep Power: 319 I'm not a fan of bodykits. They just aren't for me. Plus I just bought a house, so this little Civ-vs-guardrail fiasco is gonna set back my Koni/Pro-Line plans. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
such a shame, suprised to see its a sedan cause it seemed like the wrecks were only happening to the coupes....

Rep Power: 319 Rosen -> Honda Dealer in Gurnee, IL. I don't own a hairdryer, so that stupid sticker will be there until I get one of my lady friends to release their deathgrip on their hairdryer.
