Grillin' rape steaks
**** ya!
I can almost guarentee you that something is bent, but if you manage to get the alignment squared, then it should be fine. Needless to say, I would take a real good look at the passenger side suspension.
I agree with alex please don't get wicked tuning . I had mine on for about 20,000 miles and alex took it off and bushings were worn like crazy
**** ya!
The Car Lounge said:Coming home from Long Beach, WA last night, I was reminded of a lesson long forgotten.
When in rural areas, 2 or more cars on the side of the road with hazards on might be worth paying more attention to.
Apparently, a few minutes before I arrived, someone hit a deer/elk/large dog/meat filled object. During that interlude, a few more people drove over it, knocking the limbs and head off it.
Leaving me a 'Meatramp'. My lowered Audi rendered any chances of roadkill cafe opening up a new location null and void. I'm certain the locals will be telling tales for years to come of the white station wagon that launched off the Meatramp back in Ot-9.
They'll more than likely build a statue of me near there as well. And my nephew may never forget the sound a Meatramp makes when forcibly ejecting a vehicle.
Anyway, I had to drive the rest of the way home with the windows up, and mouth-breathing to avoid the stench coming from the freshly cooking entrails. Pulled into the driveway of the shop and was relieved to find very little damage, but a LOT of blood. And some Acropolis sized steak pieces. Broke the lower plastic engine compartment cover in a few spots, but otherwise all seems normal.
So now I have a clean underbelly, with a only mildly lingering stench of death, and a driveway of steak bites, left for the neighborhood stray cats. And a scared poopless nephew.
And of course, my wife , only a few hundred yards behind, missed the whole thing. Didn't even realize there was a Meatramp opportunity just mere feet from her car.
And part 2, Since I neglected to look at the passenger side last night.
Rule #2.
Blood goes everywhere.
The whole passenger side of the car had a nice crimson hue to it. Of course, since I don't use the passenger side of the car, I did not notice last night. But stopping for a black tea latte this morning at starbucks, there was a little smell. Which I did not notice until I came back out from retrieving a hot tasty beverage. The people sitting outside seemed to notice before I did. But, it's hard to miss a white wagon covered in fur and blood. At least when it's parked right in front of your venti-double shot-caramel macchiato with half and half, a pump of vanilla, and room for extra cream.
"Your car is covered in blood..and is that fur?"
"hmm, yep. Must not have got it all washed off last night"
"Uhh-what did you hit?"
"Meatramp!"
"???"
So, after I got it to work, I went around it with the pressure washer as opposed to the hose at the shop. Found more meat,even in the rear springs. Think I got another 4-6 oz. of stew pieces out of the passenger side. And I think I'm almost back to a vegetarian car again.
what a well written bed time story. nice post justin.
and OP, any update on the damages?
