Wonder how someone would let it go that badly without fixing it. Would it be crossing the line if the mechanic doesn't release the car due to potential danger?

 

Not my car. But the wheel bearing on my tires trailer was worss than that driving home from njmp. It seized up andburnt the beatings. The wheel nearly fell off. Had to stop by tiebouts house to leave the trailer there.

 

In college, I had a dodge avenger that was eating through rear tires like on a regular basis. I had lifetime alignment at Firestone and it would be out of spec in months. That car broke my college budget. I ended up neglecting my brakes and word them down so low that the calipers locked up and made a horrendous noise. I brought it to one shop and was shocked by the quote so I asked for my keys. They were reluctant to give them to me but it was Florida, so I got them back and went somewhere else. I wasn't the brightest 19 year old.

Edit: someone ended up hitting and running that car and when insurance looked, they said it was in a accident before which is why it ate tires. Those were the days before car fax.

 

Avenger, Neon... what other gems have you owned, Dan?

 

Subtle burnout queen post...


Fixed.....+1

 

I bought what I could afford. I had a 90 mercury cougar, 89 ford mustang lx, 84 Chevy cavalier hatch too.

 

Why so many cars? You blow motor up?

 

i wonder if i have pictures of my first car on my computer...


just imagine a white 97 subaru outback with 2 12 inch subs powered by 2000 watts in the trunk, and white under glow.

and yes, i riced it out on purpose, i definitely knew better! lol

i then owned:
95 saab 9000cs
97 saab 9000 aero (big turb ~320whp)
95 saab 9000 aero
86 saab 900 spg
97 civic ex with built, itb'd 1.8L
92 civic si hatch with above motor
05 subaru legacy gt
06 evo 9

i feel like im missing some tho...

 

I either moved away and passed them onto friends or siblings. The avenger lasted me the longest. It got hit at just the right time because it didnt have much life left. I ran the **** out of that car by driving nonstop between here amd Miami multiple times a year.

The neon I bought after that was probably the best deal I got on a car. I got it out in Oxford for $1100 with 48k miles and it was only 3-4 years old. It apparently is still being driven by the kid I sold it to.

 

OK. Chu win at mowing the lawn.

Here is a pic of me losing my first splitter at Pocono a couple years back.

Any of you fools want to run SM at the Dover Tour three weekends from now? We need a fifth car to fill the class. PM me if interested.

You need to be there Sat and Sun at a minimum. You can check in and tech on Friday, or just come early on Sat to tech and walk.
