What's the worst thing that has ever happened to your Mini?
Mine was in about 96, before it was bagged, I drug on a manhole cover at the bottom of a little valley in the road. Like I said I was'nt bagged, just slammed. The manhole cover was sticking out of the street about 2-3", and gravity pulled me down to about 1/4" off of the street. I saw it comin, but there was a curb on my right, a stupid racer on my left reving on me, and a 18 wheeler comin right up behind me real fast. Could'nt even slow down too much with-out getting rear-ended. When contact was made, my poor truck made the worst "KERCHUNCK" noise I had ever heard, and the front end was airborne. When I landed, the passengerside stayed on the ground. With air not being a factor, this was quite a serious problem. Instantly, my front right tire started smokin in what was once a wheel-well with plenty clearance. As I am doing my best to get out of the street, (on a 4 lane busy street with no shoulder) I find a driveway. I pull in there, get out, and find my tortion on the passenger side had been shot out the back of the truck. Im blocking the drive-way to this office building, and its lunch time. Alot of pissed off suits that day. Anyway, long story short, My truck was out of comission for 7 months. I was unemployed at the time, and on my way back from a job interview at a garage door instalation company. When I finally got home, there was a message on my answering machine that said I was over-qualified to hang Garage doors, and I would'nt be getting the job. All I could think to myself was, " Who is'nt over-qualified to hang garage doors?" Because of this "accident", life choices were made, and mods were forced to be done. Every real Minitruck has a story, whats yours?

all put back together and rockin the rusted hood and primered fender.
not all that stuff happened to it when i was driving it the cab and the tree incident was when my brother was driving it, and the front end was when my dad was driving it. with the tree thing, my dad had new carpet put in and the people cut an oil line and it caused the motor to blow up so my dad told my brother to push it in the back yard....two days later the tree fell on it. when i got it i saved up the money and had it repainted, the frontend fixed witha billet grille, and clears. 3 months later my younger brother ran into it with a motorcycle and dented the bedside right on a bodyline. not even 24 hours after i had it bagged, i woke up the next day to a loud crunch noise as my step mother backed into the passenger corner of the truck...1 day before the ludikrz show. i think thats about it...except for the retards that open their doors into the side of it in parking lots...(its been my daily for a while)
as it sits today (kinda....ive been workin on it a lot the past few months.)
