So how many have managed to do this... (pic)
I hold a long distance relationship where i am traveling to and from santa barbara ca to lancaster ca. about 150mi drive little over 2hrs...
so i decide to leave santa barbara in the rain... im about 20 mi from home when it is really pouring down rain and i cant see ****
and im driving on a 2 lane rd with cliff sides on the left and mountains on the right, the road is bouque canyon. when i come around a turn where the speed limit is 55 im going 40 i would usually be doing 70 if not raining and i come out the turn and there is a truck coming with his brights on and i cant see **** but a glare in my windshield so i let up off the throttle,
bamanjksajksfss WTF!!!!!!!!!! was that i just hit a 6in high pile of rocks that rolled down the mountains cause of the rain the car jumped at least a foot in the air it felt like... i keep stuff like lighters and crap in the door and that **** flew everywhere there was chang flying threw the air from the cup holders and my ipod cracked my windsheild!!!!!!!
WTF......
yeah thats a huge whole in my rim and the taco shaped piece of metel stuck/jammed on rear brake caliber!!!!!
more to come tomorrow... all i know cause it was raining is the oil light or coolant light is not on or cel, other three tires are holding air but 2 or more rims are bent... and the wheel had to be crooked to drive straight...... my intercooler is ok. my muffler was ripped off or has a whole in it or piping car sounds like straight pipe.... looks like rear susp arm might be bent kinda crooked looking...
anyone have a mulibu style rim they wanna sell?
