Sorry to hear about the accident man. Thats terrible.

That civic looked modded. Was the driver a young kid? People need to be more responsible.

Wow, that doesn't look fun. Glad your OK though, better to wreak your car then your life!

Gonna get a new blazer? Looks like you can salvage most of the parts.

Yes - The wife is all about getting another 4x4 Blazer. She was always impressed with what our's put up with.

Seriously, with my lifestyle and activities, there is no other perfect vehicle for me to drive.

As for the Honde driver... He was 19 and the Honda was modded but not performance wise. The Honda Civic DX was a gas sipper compared to the EX or Si - I know this because when I married my wife, that's what she had. It was stolen four years ago and was how we came to own that red Blazer.

Here are pics of the Honda... You can really see how spectacular the crash was in these photos.





Check out the dent and tire scrub marks up at the rear quarter window!

On the third pic down, you can see the mark from my skid plate angeled across the hood! Unbelievable!



I am blessed to be sitting here typing this!

I'd have gotten out and smacked the living **** out of that 19 yr old kid. Not just because he trashed my car, but because he decided to put a kit and 17"s on a stock Honda Civic.

Glad you're ok though, I recently had something very similar happen

Judging by the Fact it looks like its in an impound yard I don't think they will let him. Up here insurance companies won't let you remove parts. The spare tire he could easily get away with but I don't think they will let him take the rest.

Around here you can remove parts if they're aftermarket and not vital to the car running, so he could take the wheels, but he'd have to replace them with stockers or something.
