    hit a curb... $650

    Ok , so today i was backing up into a friends driveway and he has a sewer drain right next to his driveway and my passenger rear tire got stuck in it as i was backing up and blew my tire out, so i put on the spare and saw that it was all sideways, i tried 2 drive it and the car wouldnt stay straight.. so i call a shop and get it towed.... they call back sayin i bent two of the lower control arms and its gonna cost like $650 to fix so i call my mom and tell her and she said not to put anymore aftermarket **** on it and that this spring or summer she would give me 4k-5k for a newer car, (g-ma is selling her house and dividing money) so imma try and get a 00ish 3rd gen 5spd... sad day

              idk yet, i know for damn sure im not trading it in and getting like $300 bucks for it... Either ill try 2 sell it or just keep it around... i mean it still runs decent, doesnt leak anything, doesnt burn oil. I know my brother gets his liscense in like a year so i could sell it 2 him and keep her in the family... idk yet, I know im not getting anything new till at least may or so.

                  If you're going to part it out (which is more profitable than junking btw), there are somethings I could use, maybe.
