Remember back about a week, I was whining about having three 92 Sports 1 I could drive and the other two had to be parted due to chassis rot, well no more Sport to drive, the wife and I are fine but the Sport as you can see is toast "another parts car" we were driving here in town two blocks from home when a young girl blasted through a stop sign, hit our car in the left front, the wife and I saw her at the same time, I hit the brakes just enough to keep from being hit broad side on my side, she then bounced off and side swiped another car then landed up on the parking. She did get several tickets. The other driver and the girl who hit us are fine, the girl only had her license for several weeks, the wreck was tough on her, the wife and I consoled her the best we could till her family arrived. Well time for some pizza and maybe a Rum and Coke.

Hot_wheels Good thing everyone was OK! Thanks for your thoughts.
Team Lightning, No buffing here the frame horn is well bent.
scitzz, Good thing everyone was OK! Thanks we are good just a little sore.
drddan, Yes! Festy's can be replaced, but you cant Karl! Glad you and the wife are OK!!!!! Dan the wife says thanks for thinking of her.
zoom Zoom Every Festiva owners worst nightmare come to life right there in front of you! That sucks but I'm glad everyone is ok. Did the impact deform the rim or is that just the picture? it's just the picture, the tire and wheel will live on-on another car.
getinpsi, Glad to hear you guys are alright. fly out to cali and pick up that 323 wagon I shared with everyone from craigslist. he lowered it to 1600 now. you'll feel better. That's a great looking car but not in our future right now but thanks for the reminder.
Bravekozak, Unbelievable story. Don't buy any lottery tickets for three years. I figure just the opposite, we beat any injuries so time to buy me some Loto.
bhazard, Did it really knock the paint off the bumper or was it already like that? The impact sent chips flying everywhere, we flexed the bumper after the wreck and the paint came off in chips and chunks, must have been a repaint.Last edited by sc72; 11-02-2013, 05:38 PM.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

Rafe, Glad to hear you two are ok though! Thanks, hope to see you at the Masura meet the 23rd.
Charlie1717 Glad you all are alright! Very big of you guys in how you handled the situation. we were fine, she felt so bad saying how sorry she was and constantly sobbing. it was the right thing to do. She called today to see how we are, showed maturity

Zoom, Yea I would have taken the low road and ... She wouldn't be forgetting that wreck lol, there is no chance this young girl will forget what happened and no I don't believe you would have taken the low road. When the wife and I met you at the fall fling a couple years back we both commented on how well you carried yourself.
Thanks all for the kind words, we are fine but once the insurance dust settles I will be on the hunt for our next Festiva.Last edited by sc72; 11-02-2013, 05:37 PM.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
