Sympathy Please :(

[wiredmonkey]

Hey All! Just crashed my 172 mk2 - 2 weeks after i got it! Doh! looking for sympathy as everyone is just teasing me lol Ahhwell guess I know its limits now

lol u seem very cheerful despite crashing.... much damage done? Is it a write off?

 

[wiredmonkey]

Narh not a write-off. Its just a more compact car now in the front. Been quoted roughly $4k (AU) . I guess the reason Im cheerful is (a) no oncoming car collected me and (b) the barrier stopped me falling off a cliff

Thats a sobering thought! Always best to let the clio die first if you ask me.

My sympathy is with the car. I bet it wishes someone else had bought it

Think that highlights the difference between objects and people.

Oh well, Im sure the car wishes someone else bought it too... now the long wait for it to be fixed. In the meantime I have to drive a 98 Toyota Camry. Drives like Jelly compared to the clio.
