Where exactly is the frame damage?

Well you know the BACK slides out so I'd assume it's in the back .

it was sliding before all that e brake action. and hah i wish i could drift. someone teach me. >.<

ummm... i dont know exactly where the frame damage is. the right side of the car is missing ..... ALL vin numbers. i still pull glass out from under the passengers seat from when the original window was broken.

so. i believe the frame damage is mostly on the front passengers side. but but the entire frame is twisted. windows/doors dont line up on either side

Easier said than done I know, but frankly, I'd say screw this car and get yourself a more "safe" and "reliable" ride. If the car's doors and lines are misalinged that badly, there's no point in trying to save it.

Are you getting a decent tax return? If so (and you can afford to do it), I'd say use it as a down payment towards another car, or buy a cheap, old car, that's in relatively good shape. Is your Eclipse paid off? I hope so, for your sake.

its paid off. but. its also my first car. and my mom bought it.

and i'm currently lacking a decent job. so. no tax return. >.<

its not really that its no reliable. its only left me "stranded" once and that was when the alternator belt broke. and it broke right after we'd bought the new belt for it, so the next day it was fixed. and it hasn't stalled out since i got the EGR valve replaced.

but i agree. as soon as i save up enough or get a better job, i'm getting a better car. probably a celica like i originally wanted to. >.<
