how a great day turns bad

[RGTorque]

so i'm sure may of you have seen my post about the show/gtg on the 30th. in case any of you missed my seven here is a short rundown of what happened.

 

long story short.

 

wake up ~> wash car ~> pack car to make 2 hr trip from show to tuner (later in the day) ~> pull out of garage ~> find car wont accelerate after 1/4 mile (fear clutch went bad) ~> limp to garage ~> find one of the axles (driver) has crept out of the rear (don't know how or why but it has horizontal play but glad its not clutch) ~> quickly remove the driver side knuckle to investigate and slap off a brake line fitting in the process ~> scream, curse, throw various tools across the garage ~> get to the show in the wagon at 2pm

 

now i don't know how/when i will be able to get the car to the tuner because i have no trailer and it will rain for the next week. this means there is NO way i will make the April 20th autox in warminster and i would be VERY grateful to make the may 4th autox.

 

i think they call this Jewish luck?

 

btw, here is the wagon if anyone hung around late enough to catch me

Sorry to hear about the car, seems you don't have much left that you haven't tightened, repaired/replaced....

 

Nice wagon:thumbs: do the rear wheels rub?

 

Here's my other ride (besides PU & Expedition)

for the show the car was actually 1 inch lower and it did not rub. the rear wheels camber in as the suspension compresses and the dampening adjustable coilovers are set fairly firm to keep me from chewing tires.
