I was on my way to school this morning and there was UNMARKED uneven pavement, im talkin like 5 or 6 inches of pavement. My car hits the 5 or 6 inch raised part of pavement, the car jumps up, i dont notice anything. Later on today I was coming home from my girlfriends house and when I went to turn on my lights they came on but my gauges didnt light up. I get home and check out the problem, and a wire was ripped out of the back of the gauges, so now I cant see my gauges at night, all I have for light is the needles. I inspect my car more to find that I have a bubble in my front right tire and my entire car is leaning to the right......



f*ck

Your bad tire could be the cause of your bad alinement. The wire shouldnt be too expensive to fix, just a pain in the azz.

I got ya beat. I was riding home and noticed the engine was running a little rough. I stopped at the speed shop to pick up some new plug wires, and thought I'll just pop into the shop and grab an oil change and have them check out the engine. Turns out one of the engine mounts on the left side of the engine snapped. The ****ing eninge was bouncing up and down when you hit the gas with like 6 inches of play. They're gonna try and reach it by taking off some stuff over by the timing belt, but if that dosent work they're gonna have to remove the entire engine. AHHHHH!!!! There goes the rims I was gonna buy today.

If it makes you feel better my radiator litteraly exploded the other day and coolant was shot all over the place, all over the 3s. And I paid $260 for parts and install (could have done it myself, but needed the car fast) and it was all caused by me and my friends messing with other stuff, we unplugged the radiator fan, and I was letting the car idle (to cool the turbo) and when I came back to the car the temp needle was all the way at hot, so I turned it off and the pressure from the probably boiling water had to go somewhere.

Not to mention my engine dosnt even work right yet. So I need as much money as possible to try to get it working.

i swear is it just me or when u mess with ure car ala invest ALOT of money into it it seems to get destroyed some how i mean i put msd into my car about a year ago an i was driving then suddenly the engine shuts off i look in my rear view mirror and all i see is sparks pulled over got some redneck with a truck to push me to the gas station. If that wasnt bad enough i opened my hood and my distributor was on fire (dont ask) so there went my side skirts.

After working in an auto parts store for 12 years, you wouldn't BELIEVE what I've seen people do to cars,,,I still think you should have to pass some kind of intelligence test to vote or own tools...
