datguydeni · 05-21-2009, 06:43 PM

i would like to know where we are staying as well if i do get to go. will know by tonight. xD

Davis · 05-21-2009, 09:23 PM

On the way home from Marks place, I got into an accident.

I was going down the 210 south and whoa it splits! Saw a gap in traffic and went for it. The cars in front were stopping, I braked and voila, brakes lock, skrrrrrr, BOOM!

I'm okay and the driver of the other car is okay. Mindy is doing fine, she's used to being slapped in the face. No cracks, just the crappy mix of maaco and autozone touch up paint flaking off. As for the other car, the bumper isn't aligned right anymore.

masagsxr · 05-21-2009, 10:03 PM

Glad ur ok Davis... Let me know if you need help with something.

Davis · 05-21-2009, 10:15 PM

Thanks Mark, well **** happens, the brightside is that I'm getting more experience in life! and if there's one thing I've learned today it's that, TRD spoilers cause accidents!

Even though I didn't feel so good, I went ahead and took the TRD wing off. Put my spoilerless trunk back on and guess what, Davis is staying wingless!

Yes that's right folks, wingless. Oh no way!

Yes way!

The previous owner did a better job then I expected with the maaco spray job. When I took the middle piece off, they actually sprayed the trunk black, yay! The side spoilers on the other hand...

masagsxr · 05-21-2009, 10:18 PM

Huh? How so? hhmmmm... You know I have the same problem with my brakes even when I'm going slow. Front locks easy.

Davis · 05-21-2009, 10:19 PM

Never happened to me before, so it's life experience!

Yeah the fronts lock up easily, that's why I wanted to do my brake job, porterfield r4-s pads in the back to change the bias to the rear....oh wells!

datguydeni · 05-22-2009, 12:03 AM
