    Bye bye Eclipse......

    Well this happened back in January but I had forgotten about the pictures. I was having a really bad night my front tire blew out on me and I had to put a spare on to make it home. On my way home a deer ran out in front of me and hit the driver side and it spooked me and I swerved a little and the spare tire went of the road a bit after that I lost control of the car and hit a telephone pole. I miss that car especially with gas how it is right now and being stuck driving an suv around .....


    Before and after pics

    Oh wow. That was a nice car, but I'm glad you are ok.

    I hate donuts. All cars should just come with regular spares. I know, I know, not cost efficient. And, most likely wouldn't match the other tires, blah blah. I'm on strike against donut tires.

    Oh man that sucks!!! Thank heavens you were alright! I love eclipses, but I'm thinking you are lucky to not have been hurt!

    VWs come with normal sized spares, just saying I'm getting my third VW in a couple months

    I'll admit Eclipses are much prettier than VWs, so I can't say I blame you The Eclipse was on my list of cars to consider, but VW spoiled me with heated seats/mirrors, and sunroof for a very reasonably priced car. I like your style of Eclipse a lot better than the new style, that's what I was looking at. It's like the Jetta, they ruined it with the newer style, they fixed the 2011 Jetta SE, but I can't get one though I thought I would have a much better paying job out of college... Oh, I've settled on a Passat because I can't stand how ugly they made the Jetta, someday I'll get my '11 style Jetta...unless the Passat ruins me from Jettas
