Wife totalled yet another car

my wife was leaving our neighborhood, and didnt see a car coming when she made a turn onto the road. we've had the car for about 4 yrs. we were also waiting for that stimulus check to come in, so we can get her another car. this one had a horrible high speed vibration, and it leaked fuel from one of the injectors.

we replaced it with a 1990 toyota corolla. my wife had one just like it before we aquired the chrysler. it was nice little car that got good gas mileage. until one of the rods decided to break.

this particular one needed a timing belt. i got that done the day before yesterday, and soon find out the front brakes, struts, ac, and blower motor are shot. still not bad for a FREEEEEEE car.(courtesy of her parents :D )

Damm dude, hope everyone is okay. That right tire doesn't look to good that might be where the high speed vibs were coming from..

I would take any free car! Especially one that get MPGs. As long as she is ok looks like you guys came out alright. Did insurance cover anything? Hard to tell if she was at fault or the other car. If she washiznit then you guys are going to come out on top as long as she wasnt hurt.

everyone involved is fine. it was my wife's fault, and we only had liability. the car can be fixed, but it's not worth it to us.
