So, I get the carbs synced, tuned and everything is purring along nicely. So I drive it about two blocks to the AmPm and then for a quick test run around the neighborhood...
About two blocks from home it starts sputtering coughing and losing power so I sort shift and limp up the hill. Now the car feels like it is coming apart and I am just trying to make it the last 200 yards home then WHAM! I get passed by my driver side rear wheel and coast to stop on the rotor 50 feet from my drive way!!! ACK!! Lower rear part of the fender smooshed, I think the tyre is cut as well... A couple bangs with the BFH and I get the wheel back on and limp it into the shop. This car hates me and now I hate it back! |

I did at one time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I am missing a couple now. Pretty sure the brakes are toast as I needed a BFH to beat the rotor back into align the bolt holes. |
