OK, and the story goes like this............
Yesterday morning the performance shop that did all the engine work was driving it in rush hour traffic, going to work, which he always does, dont ask why, ill explain that later.....
Car was in the fast lane, moved to the middle lane, and was in the process of moving to the slow lane, as the car was driving and in the process of going into the slow lane, all of a sudden the ****ing wheel broke off the car at the lower control arm, along with the ball joint that is not supposed to come apart, they are made as one and come from the factory as one, and u cant get them any other way.......so with the wheel breaking off, along came the strut assembly, the strut is in three pieces, so anyways the car jerked to the left like a bitch, and well there was the rear end of another car there, so my car slammed into the that one, and the wheel rolled down the damn highway, and all this time the airbags went off and the driver couldnt see a damn thing that as going on outside from all the air bag dust...........
cops came, made their report, the shop towed it back to the shop.... and there it sits til the insurance adjuster comes to look at it either tomorrow or monday.........and we are currently looking into honda and seeing what our options are there, and dont say anything about the power of the turbo having any affect on thats, the car was only going 35 and rush hour morning traffic prevented the car from even entering boost.
as of right now, the car is going to be repaired, and look better than it did before, u might be able to see the CF hood that was only on there for 4 days before its demise
