9838, Makes me want to cry... 56k :(
Posted by Nine5eclipse03, May-26-06 06:24 PM
Ok, so as many of you know, i sold my car to a 16 year old kid from seattle about 5 months ago, and he totalled it three days later. I went with a friend to the south-seattle wrecking yard to look for a fender for his talon, we get to the back of the yard, and i find something that makes my heart skip a beat.... It was my eclipse. It was horrible to see it looking like that, at first, i wasnt sure, but i messed with it, finding a few certain things that i did to it, such as drilling two holes in the back of the glove box for a custom dvd player, a peice of the carpet i tested with carpet dye, they were all there... First, i'd like to show you some pictures of her when i was in charge...

Nah, either that was destroyed in the wreck, or it got picked up quick. The car was pretty well stripped through, mostly anything non broken was taken

Even though the car is stripped, The damage doesnt look too bad.

I dont think that is your car either. But you would know since you were there and you know your car better than any of us.

Yeah, i sold the kid most of my stock parts with the car, i think he must have swapped the aftermarket stuff out before they came to tow the car away. There were 4 things that verified it was my car. 1, to install a dvd player in the glove box, we drilled two quarter size holes in the back of the glove box. 2, under the passenger seat, there was a spot about 6 inches round, where i tested some black dye. 3, i removed the broken passenger side reverse light, to find the reverse warning beeper thing that big trucks have that i installed just being a dumbass, beecause it was on clearance for $8 at autozone. and four, i also installed an "ooga" horn, which was crushed, still zip tied inside the front bumper lol.
