this started off as the nicest stock EJ1 you could ever find.
was bought in 1995 brand new, then stolen in 1997.
being that it was stolen it was not insured, then it got in the smallest little fenderbender in 1999 and was stored fully repaired from 1999 until 2005.
In which i then bought it in 2005 as my first car. no rust, less than 100,000km on the original motor.

then it all went bad one day when i got a speeding ticket right before winter, i thought it was because of my new tires throwing off my speedometer, so i went to go drive beside my dad and see if i passed him when i was doing what appeared to be the speed limit. After the test we went to turn around in a parking lot near by, when BOOM i was t-boned. Wrote off the car, havent seen it sinse.

it doesnt look horrible, but the frame was bent, the dashboard spilt in 3 and crushed, the motor mount broken and the motor was sagging off balance, the tie rod was snaped, no more steering ability, and the rest of the exterior cosmetic dmg.
only good news was, i paid $5,800 for it. and i got back over $7,000 from my insurance company.
