Its only my daewoo.... but now im out of transport while i wait for my R32 to get complied in NSW.

I always swore to myself that i would just run over animals rather than put myself at risk like all those other "idiots" u see.... well i was wrong...

It took me by surprise... it could have ended up much worse but i managed to handle it pretty well and only cause minor damage to the car.

The front left wheel is damaged and looks like it has been pushed back a little on impact... wheel is slightly cambered now too :D looks like suspension and cross member is damaged but i dont know much about cars and hope its not going to cost too much to repair.

Thankfully at 1am a P plater girl actually stopped for me after sitting there in the rain for half an hour trying to get it out the ditch... eternally greatful to her for stopping and actually driving me home to get my bro in law to tow me out with his Jackaroo. Most girls would have driven str8 past but she ignored the possible dangers and actually picked me up. 1 Million thanks to that girl!

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
