Yeah, I'm fantastic Love those supportive seats. My dog (who was with me) was a little freaked out, but he's ok now. Your parts car wouldn't happen to be white, would it? Maybe we can work out a deal for some parts (I don't REALLY care about color as the car is getting painted this summer, but white would be nice so it doesn't look ghetto till it does get painted )
No, I was making sure it wasn't one of those "I suck as a driver and poor ol' me I hit a tree" threads.

Like it or not, those will be moved.

I do not suck as a driver (and the countless track days and 3 driving schools.. not to mension 5 years of karting should prove that) , and well it does suck that I hit a tree.. life will go on.. I was more sad about the fact that I hurt a 10thAE than that I hurt my car... there's always the cavalier

This section is about second gens... I crashed my second gen, so it's on topic.

That is why the thread is still here, and why I was asking.

Glad that's settled then.

I pulled the ball joint off just before work today, and had a closer look. The dust boot is gone, and instead of being full of grease, it's full of mud. I'm not 100% sure that the mud caused destruction, but it sure seems to be this way at this point. The snap is JUST above the ball, and there's no damage to any of the other suspension. The strut is even ok. w00t! easy to fix that. New ball joint coming on monday or so. The tire even looks OK... there's a small cut in the sidewall, but it doesnt' appear to be all the way though. If it is... time for some falkens! I couldn't get the fender off, I guess I have to pull the bumper? If I do, how the ()S*&DF do I do that?
