Let's see...

1. My brakes were squeeking like a pig or a biotch whichever is louder. Just had the pad replaced 20 mins ago.
2. My Sat radio went belly up. WTF?
3. What am I forgetting... OH THAT FREAKING $700 SPEEDING TICKET! Grrrr. That should be illegal.
4. I inherited a million lil dings on my bumper.

I had a hella time. It was all well worth it.

nothing broken, but a hell of a lot of wear on the tires.
Just means I get to replace the stock super short life tires with some decent treads that much sooner. Hmmm maybe even some new rims at the same time

Your wallet is def. a lot lighter.

$700, I'd ask him if he was on crack!

I smoked up my brakes pretty good, I reckon its time to replace those 24 yr old pads. And while I'm in there, slotted rotors, ss lines, silicone fluid, shocks and springs too!

That might get you out of the ticket. That's definitely not appropriate to ask.

I had to call to find out. The ticket didn't even indicate what the amount was. I've already started fighting. I should have known the I75 cop trap would get me.

So when he gave you that ticket did he use some lube or anything??? ouch

I did "brake" something. Here's some before and after pics of my rims.

Keep in mind I scrubbed/cleaned my rims the day before DGRR.

This is the driver's front.

Dirty




Half Clean




Clean

Keeping in mind that my chassis now has 115k miles on it:

(1) original bushings and pillow ***** are now officially shot. Super pros and new bushings on hand waiting for install.

(2) Idle Speed Control Solenoid died, thus the reason for my high idle. No biggie, I have a few good used ones.

(3) Speeding ticket about 10 minutes after helping get Carl's/mp5's FD running again? 140 bucks down the drain, what happened to karma? Officer informs me 80 in a 55 will get me $280 and mandatory NC court appearance, 'does me a favor' by making it 70 in a 55. Doesn't he know the FD can't cruise at 55? It isn't possible

(4) Suspension seems to be bottoming out a bit, my 6 year old Tanabe's might have finally died. Autopsy report pending.

(5) This one hurts the worst.....after driving about 1800 miles, a rock kicked up off the highway took a chunk of paint off my roof about 20 minutes from the end of the trip!

(6) Edit: last thing, loud buzzing coming from the fuel tank. I think the baffles in the tank broke loose on me....this showed up at the end of the trip.

Damn Rich!

Where did you get the ticket?? Did you have a radar detector??

Man, Sorry to hear about your mishaps!! I still haven't unpacked my car.... And this morning, I found a thing of coleslaw and tray full of baked beans in one of the T-shirt boxes I have... I actually found it because I started to smell something in my garage... You could of guessed how nasty the smelll must have been.. A week old slaw and baked beans..... Yikes!
