Title: "Both feet In"
Post by: LeeThompson on December 17, 2009, 12:03:17 AM: About 2 or 3 weeks ago On a monday morning I was heading to class for an exam. I came to a stop light about 10 miles from the school. There was an amubulance and cars trying to get over to let them go by. In all the confuson I push my clutch into the floor relizing the fatal mistake. I hit a van from behind. The hood and finders are done and the radiator is in the engine.

Her car had minor dints and dings but no real damage.

Driving a clutch is fun and hard. A lot more is going on and you have to be paying atition. It makes me sick that this happend but I guess a lot of good came out of it.

No one was hurt
We get to keep the car for 200 something odd dollars
I got a new 1991 318is that was treated very well by 2 BMW enthusiest
And we got a part/ track car

The car was deleted of its spoiler so we will take it from the wreaked 318 and put it on the new one. Probably switch black painted trim stuff to make the new 318 look better.
We will also take the back bumper from the older one and put it on the new one which looks better.

Wish we found this car about a year ago >_<

The car looks good from 10 feet away. Paint

If I wreaked my moms BMW or stepdads car I would not have been upset >_< Its the fact that a lot of time went into the car.
