Default pics of my banged up ITR & warning to drivers (56k unfriendly)

Well, ok, my ITR isn't all that banged up but it feels that way when im driving it.

The other day I was driving to the gym with a buddy and the entrance is kinda tight, with metal bollards restricting the width. It was dark and I misjudged the width but thought I would be able to get thru ok.. but then the sound of that ******* bollard banging in the right-hand side rear panel sounded dreadful.

I parked up, got out the car, inspected the damage.. I was so enraged that i booted the damaged area so hard.. my poor ITR. I kissed and made up later.

When I bought it in November it was in immaculate condition. Since then, some fucktard banged into my rear bumber and is dodging my phone calls and a couple of weeks later I walked up to my car one morning and found someone had banged into the driver side door (right hand side). And now my silly mistake.

Not working right now so I cant really repair the damage and make it look good again. I feel so bad about the damage that I feel like selling it to someone.

So my warning to all ITR drivers is to be careful while driving. Manouvere like beginner if you have to (like I should have revered and then taken it in). Take care of your cars!!

*cries like a girl*

Anyway here are some pics of my banged up ITR. Not really posted any here apart from the ones of me on the race circuit a 2 or 3 weeks back.






The damage is kinda viewable in this shot

I have dinged up my ITR in parking garages quite a few times. Sucks really hard.

When I got my R a couple years ago I was trying to be a hero on an exit ramp and almost spun but hit a curb instead. I needed two new rims and control arms, but luckily no body damage to me or the car. Lesson learned.

Oh come on that's nothing. You should see my ITR. I always hate coming outside to my car. After the first mishap I got the money and was all ready to get if fixed. A couple of weeks later another mishap. So after that I told myself I was going to wait for a month or two to see if my luck changed any. It was all good and all for like a month and a half then BAM. I got hit by hail while I was at work. Needless to say my R looks horrible. Not only that but now (my own fault) I don't even have the money to get it fixed. I was an idiot and spent my money on other stuff. Ive got a Suburban which sucks gas bad and needs just a little work that I am trying to sell to get the money to get the R fixed but not until I get a cheap beater. Anyway sorry for the long story but this is one area I know alot about.

Oh and BTW your car is still sexy as it is.

Yea, I guess it's not that bad, I realise now that I have calmed down. Still, first thing Im gonna do is fix the dents and only then will I go ahead with some simple mods (intake + exhaust).

Uh I think it is best if my tailights stay on MY car

Maybe I'll replace em sometime in the future with some hot/unique looking altezzas (not the crappy types we see on ebay).
