sad day for wagon

Yep u read right its a sad day for the malibu wagon. i wrecked it this evening, poor car needs alot of stuff to get it on the road. mainly front suspension parts.

hit a ice patch on the road in a curve and well u know the rest

sorry im ventin

 

Is it beyond repair ? Or is a donor car now ?

 

its fixable.. which ima go lay in the snow and take it apart to see what all is junk. the body of the car didnt get a scratch on it, its just the wheels an suspension Lol the wheels are mangled

 

Oh man, that really sucks SS. Hope you can get her back to her former glory.

 

I am verysorry to hear thsi. I hope things aren't as bad as they look.

 

Phantom, I am so sorry to hear this. Since you're on the forum, I assume you're okay and weren't hurt, which is a very good thing. Pursuant to another discussion thread, were you wearing your seatbelt?

 

no i wasnt... it looks like its just the passagner side wheels an inner an outer tierod by just crawlin under an looking. its still 19 degrees here so i guess ima wait an see if its goin to warm up a little

 

well the good thing out of a bad situation is the car can be fixed.....just like any car time,patience, and money.....sounds like it didn't mess too much up from what you say.....yeah man that black ice up north is a bitch....you can literally do 360's in the road....I always wanted to learn ice skating but not in a car

 

I am sorry to hear this Phantom. I always had a soft spot for Malibus and your wagon is a very nice example! Good luck with the repairs!

 

Dayum, phantom....watch where you're goin'!! I want to SEE that car this summer!
Seriously....that really IS a bummer. Glad you are OK though. That bu is one of the nicest around and I sure hope you can get it on the road as slick as it was before the accident. I really DO want to see it this summer.

 

silver lining ;....your alive to bitch about it

glad yur ok SS...if ya need anything ..just ask

 

Well thanks guys. what a way to start a new year off... what do u guys think of a set of corvette ralleys with flat caps on the car? since the weld wheels are junk and i have the ralleys in the garage. as far as the suspension, it looks like im needing an upper a arm inner n outer tierods possibly a balljoint however the frame isnt bent or even scratched for that matter most of the damage is done to the wheel.

 

if the 'outer' took a good enuff wack to bugger it....then check the 'idler arm' too.

should be easy enuf to find parts for her tho...eh?

 

Bummer man, hope you get it all up and running soon

 

Good luck getting it back together.
It could have been a whole lot worse. I would consider myself lucky in that situation.
Still sucks when it happens.
