Well I just finally got home to NY after a year in Iraq. In July last summer while on R&R I managed to flip my Eclipse 12 hours before flying back to the sandbox. Well yesterday I finally got to see the destruction done to the car first hand as I began stripping down the car to get the parts and such that are still good or that I need for my new car. Well I'll post up pictures later today after I take some but I'm still trying to figure out how My fiencee and I walked away from this car. Well only explanation is that god had his hand on us that day and I am very thankful to still be here instead of being a statistic.

Thanks guys. Proud to serve. Here's the pics I promised earlier. Man these pics don't even begin to show how bad the car looks in person. Asa note I have tons of parts from the interior and under the hood that I no longer need that I stripped from the car so ask and I may just have it.

got exhaust manifold studs and bolts. Ive paid like 5 people for a set over the last 6 months and have yet to get any.
Also, wow, thats one totalled eclipse. God was definately on your side, even if you did have altezzas. Glad to see your back, and back in one fully functioning piece.

I say we pull all our troops out of the middle east... right before we glass-over the entire region and install automated machines to pump all the oil for shipment over here, but that's not what this thread is about.
I'm glad to hear of another 2GNTer coming home safely after serving. Thank you. I think the focal point of the damage energy was the Altezzas. A lot of people don't know this, but the particulate alignment of the neutrons in the plastic from which Altezzas are made is molecularly charged with a BOHICA property that attracts bad luck.
