Well, last night i was headed to get some food, and i saw a bunch of wood in the road at the last minute, i cut the wheel to the right to avoid it, but ended up tagging the curb really hard. No one was hurt, except for my pride.
I was doing about 50, which was the limit for the area, but also made for more damage. I pooped my rear tire, on the side wall, the front tire has a giant gash in the rim and in the tire. Luckily i bought the roadhazard for my tires from sears, so it'll only cost me $35 for 2 new ones, but the rim is another story.
It also knocked my alignment off by from .9 to 1.5 degrees, toe and camber out of wack.
I got the alignment done, but now i have to wait for the new tires to come in, since there special order.
The thing that sux is im supposed to go up to the track on thursday, and the tires are due in between wed. and fri. If the tires dont arrive, it looks like i may run with the 16" winter tires up front, and the bf's in the back, but in order to do that, i'll need to have on of the tires remounted since they are directional. could my day get any worse?
What a great way to start october!!!
