Posted by budda I once drove an 88 TBI Dodge daytona into a wall at 50mph. The car was still driveable, but the frame was pretty bent. An idiot I went to high school with started badgering me to sell him the car because it had so much potential. He bought it, didn't even fix it, jus spraypainted it black, with yellow race stripes he masked by holding a piece of paper to the metal as he painted, so they were jagged and just terribly done. He didn't wash the mud off the car because he wanted the cool mud graphics effect. Not even kidding. Wtf are mud graphics? He ended up selling it, and I saw it still driving around about a year and a half later, still with the yellow stripes, shattered windshield, and bent frame. Who would buy that car?

LOOOOOOOOOOOL....
The same thing happened with my '86 Daytona (TBI 2.5), I hit a bridge at 50 mph, the car was FUCKED, but driveable. 2 days before that it cooked a hole through the #2 piston.
I sold it for the same price I paid for it 2 years and 80,000 km earlier. We have safety inspections here, though, so it was driven with a temporary permit for a while and then vanished. I found it in a scrapyard a few years later. I wept openly.
