the 4Runner :(

The 4Runner is going to be ok, it's home in the garage and has become a new project for my car loving husband. Footage below....

So...what sparked the new purchase? Last Sunday H&H and I were headed home from downtown. It was wet and as I turned right onto a ramp to enter the highway we started to fishtail. I tried to regain control by of course turning the wheel the other way but also had thoughts of preventing a rolloever. In the few split seconds I had, I knew that hitting the gaurd rail was probably going to end up stopping us, a better senario than flipping. We ended up spinning the other direction into a concrete gaurdrail. It was scary, as it was my first accident, the airbags deployed, cracking the windshield and constantly beeping the horn, or course Harrison was screaming and I was in shock. Yesterday we were in the same spot entering the ramp, 1 week later same wet road conditions. Nathan said "Oh...look at this"! We passed a girl standing on the side of the road, her car in the exact same spot where the 4Runner ended up the week before. It was sad to see and knew just how she felt.

This is not the best shot, but it's all I have on the night the 4Runner made it home. The hood is crunched, windshield cracked & it smelled like gun powder from the airbags. Nathan assessing the damage and telling me he was going to fix it up. The 4Runner is still kicking, 140,000 miles and almost 12 years old! It was time to upgrade especially with the 2 babies, we were just putting it off until now. My neighbor said "I did it a favor"....not when you live with a gear head, right hun!

Ahhh...a new car project. What have I started! OH NO!
