I totalled my 97 3.0 friday night. nodded off and went into a guard rail at 70mph . . awesome. Passenger side is totally fucked, cracked windshield, and the airbags blew. Probably 8k to repair, and I don't have collision, so its time for me to say goodbye to her.

On the brightside, at least I don't have to pay for a new tranny later this year.

I'm gonna be selling it for salvage, but if anyone wants to buy anything off of it before I do, let me know now. It's all stock, with the exception of some (fairly) premium rotors, but was in very good condition other then the tranny.

A lot of CL owners tend to "nod off" and crash, wow I'm never tired enough to do that, I always try to be alert when driving. Sucks bro, sorry bout the CL

r.i.p......i used to nod off, among other things while drving, decided not to do that shit anymore, had some close calls before i got the ack, wrecked a couple wheels on my accord

maybe this'll be a wake-up call(no pun intended, i'm not that hard up in the wit area) for dumb bastards who drive when theyre tired, i seriously think it's worse then driving after drinking/while drinking to a certain point

oh well, if anything, at least us 3.0s are getting rarer

where are you located bro, i could use your climate control unit...or your rear passenger 1/4 panel as of yesterday's discovery....don't even wanna mention the r word right now

I would greatly appreciate it because mine came right off from bumping my bass too hard... ; (

I'm interested in your "premium" rotors and your rear calipers but I'd need to see pics before I can pull the trigger. So dibs on those!! What about your rotors makes them premium? I mean if everything is in working order I'm very much interested in your whole rear brake system not including the brake lines unless those are "premium" also!!
