3rd Accident - Oct. 2003
Minor accident in rear cabin of the Santa Fe. I hooked up a portable rechargeable lantern to the rear 12volt socket. One day, after working in the garage I left the lantern on. The next day on my way to work the lantern, being that it has a built in rechargeable battery, turned on and it got hotter and hotter. The heat was too intensive and it burned almost right through the rear cargo mat.
Lantern that did the damage | Heat cracked the lens | Burnt mark on mat | Burn went through to carpet | almost to the hidden storage bin cover |
Had to buy a new rubber mat and carpet cover.
4th Accident - Oct. 2003
I got too close to a wall that had a pole with a rubber cover sticking out of it. It dented my rear right side passenger door and cracked the side fender flare I acquired from TFR Racing.
