What Did You Break Dgrr07!!!!
I'll start with my red RX-8
1. about 6 paint chips on my new front end.
2. right clip holding my front end broke.
3. warped front break rotors
4. bye bye brake pads
5. two window cracks
6. and one ticket for passing in a non passing lane. (no-points) and i was going 80 in a 35 so i lucked out.

I came out with a new ding in the rear plastic portion of the rear fender thanks to a pole at the shell station in maryville... note to self: next time use rear view mirror as well as side mirrors haha.

I think I toasted my O2 sensor. On the way back the A/F gauge was reading crazy and it hesitates pretty bad when accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear. Or I might have a vacuum leak. Who knows, I'll get to it next weekend!!!

I blew out the clutch master cylinder thing, lost all my clutch fluid and by the time I rolled into my driveway, I could not shift from neutral into first without a lot of noise. Luckily, that didn't happen until the last part of the trip back 
But all in all, just finished off my tires and I'm pretty sure the brakes are cooked as well. Brakes + tires + master cylinder thingie + rebuilding the alternator and I should be good. lol Woulda been a little more fun if I had came up w/good tires and brakes to begin with, that way I could have drivin a little harder..but the fact that I drove up, had fun, came home with no new dents, or speeding tickets is good enough for me.

The one FD I know went down, went down at the gas station in Marysville. Something to do with his PFC changing fuel settings. Once Rich and Igor put hands on and trouble shot the car, it drove back to Columbus, Ohio with no issues. I'll let the owner put the details out there. Several people helped with this car to try to get it back up. Thank you to everyone.
