Hiya! I'm new to the forum so I'm introducing myself. I'm Amanda, from upper east Tennessee, mom to 5 year old Matthew, and soone to be 23(in April). I have 2 Prizm's of my own, and I'm currently shopping for an El camino and another Prizm to use as parts. Here's the story, my first car in 1999 was my 1998 Chevrolet Prizm, 4 door (duh), automatic...they really are great cars. Never knew until I got mine. I bought it new, right off the showroom floor, my mom and Papaw (who has now passed) helped me pick it out, and I was very proud to have it. Not many 17 year olds can say they bought and paid for their own brand new car around here. I also had my son that year, he came home from the hospital in that car, and so much more. I guess you can say my little Red Prizm holds more sentimental value than monitary. But anyways, in 2001 my Prizm was wrecked, t-boned in the passenger side front by another smaller car, over $5, 000 dollars of damage, but not totalled. It is drivable, but not safe. The people that looked at the wreck said my son and I were very lucky to come out of my car unhurt. I thank God and my gardian angel and my car for that. But my poor car, she's still sitting here to this day wrecked and since I had no insurance, I have to find the parts to fix it myself. After the wreck, I went to a local carlot, and found another Prizm, my Blue 1997 Chevy-Geo Prizm. I bought it because I loved my red prizm so much, and they are good reliable cars. I've about run my '97 to death, and I've been looking for 3 years for parts for my 98. So here's my question to all you other Prizm people out there, does anyone know where I can get a parts car that has been wrecked in the rear end, local or within reasonable distance to me? The car can be a 1998 through 2002, since the bodystyle never changed after Chevy took over Geo in 96-97. (I know a little history about the prizm's if ya can't tell
) My car is the straight sedan, not the LSi, automatic, 4 door, 1.8 liter 4 cyl engine. If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I think it's about time that my little red prizm got back out on the road. Thanks, and sorry for the long story! I look forward to being in this forum, and thanks to anyone who can help! I'd really appreciate it.
Love from Tennessee, ~Amanda
