R.I.P my Hyundai I10
I own a Hyundai I10 2017 1.2 Premium SE,
this was my first car (yes I am a zoomer)
, and today I crashed it (again).
As of me writing this the future of my I10 is unknown, I will find out
tomorrow, but the people at the garage saw the pictures that I sent, and
they said it is looking like a write-off.
I have had this car for just over a year and it has been great, it is
not crazy fast or anything exceptional, but it works, and it works well.
I crashed it once before in winter, there was a lot of ice around, I
stupidly thought to drive it down a steep hill at 8 am down all the ice
and I spun out and hit a work van, no damage though so all way alright.
Today I was not so lucky.
I was driving down a country road with my friend, we were going home,
nothing out of the ordinary, I have driven down this road many times.
I was coming up to a point in the road where there are two junctions at
both the left and right side of me and a woman pulled out on me, I was
driving somewhere between 40 and 50 mph and all I could see was her car
through the windscreen. So I slammed the breaks but I still hit her.
Bruh moment ...
It was her fault, she was fine with that, insurance will sort the rest.
I will be getting a free hire car sometime soon thanks to my insurance
for the duration of repairs / getting a new car.
I will make an update to this page once everything is sorted out. In the
mean time, I will be looking for cars to buy. Right now im looking at
getting a Toyota Yaris.
Update 19th March 2025
It's now the next day and my Hyundai I10 is officially dead :(
I heard from the garage that it is on it's way to the scrap yard, they
will be transporting it on the 21st.
My insurance company provided my with a hire car for a few days until
everything gets sorted. Right now I am driving a black Fiat 500
LOL!
Not the most manly cars available but it's better than nothing. It's
quite nippy to be fair, im not sure of the specs right now but I will
look into it tomorrow.
But anyway it looks like I will be getting a new car.
I am thinking about an old Toyota Yaris, I have always wanted one. I
want to get an older model because the dashboard is really cool.
The gearstick does look like a bit like a cock and balls, but the green
speedometer looks cool as fuck.
