doesnt look too bad. the challenge would be in keeping the passenger door closed securely. Also thats where the rear trailing arm mounts to the chassis, that will have to be fixed/changed/welded as well.

It doesn't seem you really want to do rally or you'd prioritize things a bit differently. You said you lost your job which means money must be tight. You know drinking costs money, and that where you are the chances of local cops getting you in traffic for anything is high.

Drinking and driving is unacceptable.

You might want to give some thoughts to quit fucking up.

Do they pull your license for an underage DUI?

Sell your car to someone who will compete with it. Your rally driving days are over for at least a decade. Get a HAM radio license and volunteer for some events. The organizers will put up with your not being able to drive if you can work the radios.

Pull your head out of your ass!

Good luck!

I see..a slow learner with self destructive tendencies..I'd guess you're not really someone we want to have on stage just yet anyway. Tough being 20 but if you want to see 21 you might want to (as Robert said) Get your head out of your ass!!!

Sell the car and move on for now.

yep.


Next thing is you will tell us your girl fucked your best friend and stole your bass boat.

Let's see if I follow this correctly: Your dad bought you this car and within the last week you wrecked it, lost your job, got kicked out of your house, got a DUI and fucked up your chances of going back to school. Did I miss anything? I think you should go down to the local armed forces recruiters and see if they will take you. You might get deferred judgement on the DUI if you can get the right lawyer to convince the judge because you are a dumbass kid, they should give probation if you sign up for 4 years for Uncle Sam.


damn......

Agreed. Stop driving cars before you hurt or kill someone.

Man. Ya'll're harsh. Or just forgot what it's like to be 20.

Get a good lawyer. Sell the GTX to pay for it if you have to. Seriously. A DUI will cost you thousands upon thousands upon thousands. Just the increased insurance premiums you'll pay will add up over time. If you can get it down to something a little less serious and felonious that'd be good, but like I said, get a good lawyer. Another good idea would be to pre-emptively start doing as much volunteer service that you can. Go volunteer at your local hospital, thrift store, hospice home, etc. Anything you can do to make yourself look like an outstanding citizen who's just young and made a poor decision in the eyes of the judge will help.
Hope you don't have any desires to go to Canada.

I almost got one at 17, but turned out my dad and the officer had worked together in the early 80s. I've always said that it is our imperfections that make us unique and our mistakes and how we learn from them that shape who we become.
Do not go running off into the armed forces. Not saying it's not something to consider but do it because you want to, not because you feel you have to.
Oh, and make amends with your family. And realize you fucked up and what you have to do to recover from that.

You cant race open class under RA, now you cant get into Canada to race up there, thats out of the question. There is really no Nasa races close to here, might as well sell the car as your not going to be able to race it, not like you will have the money to anyway.
