Why do things like busted radiators and rocks flying into and cracking your winshield always happen just before an event?

I'm going with Atilla's answer on this one. Another reason why when we get within 30 days of SS, my car doesn't see the road.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that the crack doesn't spread on the way home. The company supposed to do it bailed at the last minute and I haven't been able to get anyone else tonight. Depending on if I have to replace the window or not could mean no SS.

At the moment just a chip, but if I have to keep driving on it or it expands from heat it'll be new winshield time. I've got some one coming out this morning hopefully.

I have a chip a quarter size of a dime since 2009 and I'm quite positive it's been hit on the exact location twice with a rock. I'm sure you will do fine.

Well got the chip filled and it's mostly gone. I was mostly worried about it spreading, it went from a chip to the size of a nickel on the drive home. Guy also fixed the window molding that was coming up.

Sooooo....FML. I needed more hops for my homebrew so I decided to go get more from the beer store and....this happened.





I looked over my left shoulder for a split second to check my blind spot to change lanes and teh chick in front of me came to a freaking stop. Rear ended her and f*cked up my baby. It looks repairable but I don't know. I couldn't get the hood open to see what damage there was inside. i know I was leaking coolant but I think that's from the coolant tank that got crushed, Hopefully my new koyo radiator is still in one piece. No sevenstock for heffe.....

If she gets totalled out, I'm going Series 2. If she lives then I'm going to request all after market body pieces..

Damn man, i completely missed this post.


That seriously sucks bro. Look on the bright side tho - you're still alive n' well. You'll live to drive another day!

Be sure to check n' see if there was any significant frame or suspension damage. If there is, you might be lookin' at a new car If there isn't, at least you'll be able to come back with a new look!

Either way man, if you need a shop - i got one that has a pretty fast turn around time. Just hit me up

ouch mike, that sucks. Hopefully you can get it fixed before Saturday.
You're not the only one with car problems though...

My car has decided it does not want to start and I'm supposed to leave for SS in 13 hours...
