Default My 2002 TL Type S Wreck

Here are some pics of my TL that my dad got into an accident with. He is okay but I dont think that I am gonna keep the car. It was a borderline total loss but the insurance company has decided to fix it. Here is my dilemma, this is the 3rd accident that this car has gone through. Twice with my dad(this one his fault the other wasnt). The third accident the car was parked and someone with a uhaul decided to plow into it. That being said I have decided to trade in the car but cannot decide wheter to get a new S2000 or a STI. I know I will lose a lot of money but I this car is just bad luck.

I hope my Mugen Radiator Cap and Oil Cap are okay.

My thoughts exactly. Just sad though it was such a good car. But my evil human desires of never being satisfied have drove me to bigger and better things. Even if I lose money.

That sucks. I work at an acura dealership and some guy bought a tl-s from us and a week later he wrecked it, with $18,000worth of damage, the kicker is the insurance company didnt total it so he kept a wrecked car. Crappy deal.

Thanks guys for the replies. 18000 worth of damages and they didnt total the thing. Holy ****. Either way I cant decide if I want a 2 seater conv. or an all wheel drive turbo monster.

Jeebus...only a year old and banged the hell up 3 times already. Walk away. Walk away quickly.

I'd rock the sti, you'll turn way more heads, and it's more yang any way you slice it.

Good luck

Thanks guys. I am going to be test driving both cars this week. Hopefully I will be able to decide. BTW the car wasnt parked when the air bags went off and my dad is family and he is not a bad driver just had some bad luck. Either way if he wants to drive either car I by I will let him. He is family.
