It was the Tuesday beofr Christmas and I took my 1200 out for a drive on an old 4x4 trail out by my parent's farm. I was about 3 miles away from the farm on this trail which wasn't really rough at all, so I decided it was time to head back. I was doing about 25-30 mph and decided to turn around so i started to turn around planning on doing a nice wide U-turn...didnt work out that way lol. I hit a slab of ice as i was starting to turn and the datto started to slide but it was flat land so i didnt freak I just started straightening it out when it hit a rut as it was sliding and rolled over on the driver's side.I had to crawl up out the passenger door and jump down. I wasnt hurt at all thank god but I could tell my car got roughed up a bit. I had my mom come out there to pull her back on her wheels with her 4x4 but she was afraid she'd hurt her car so we decided to see if we could rock it back down(just great for the side panels )But anyways we got it rolled over again. It had oil running down the fender, which was smashed in pretty good;the door is ruined, it wont open or close hardly and the window wont roll down;and the back fender had a dent in it but I managed to pop it out;and then the rear view mirror got crushed and the front tire was flat......so I changed the tire in the middle of the field and poured 2 qts. of oil in the engine and it started right back up and i drove it home. All in all it aint too horrible since I have a perfect original fender and door but I do need to find a new mirror. And what luck, right after new years my friend slid into my daily driver(a supercharged '93 Ford Thunderbird)and caused $1800 worth of damage but at least insurance will pay for that one

Ah, nooo. This was that nice one-owner coupe you bought last year. Sorry to hear, sounds like you'll get it back in shape soon.
