Here's how I understood this: He was driving and took a turn at 30mph. He hit the brakes. As he was skidding, he could have hit trees or a curb. He hit the curb and bent the control arm? Rather than towing his car at that point, he still drove to the mall (priorities lol), and his car felt as if it was DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. Even after this, rather than towing his car, he kept driving. He came to a light and his rear brakes locked. So (at the light apparently) he pulls of the tire and his rear caliper is loose! He tightened it up while holding traffic back and the car is magically "good". And he'll get us some pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ha, I did the same damn thing, only I was asking for it during heavy rain FWD "drifting" in a parking lot. I bent the right lower control arm and subframe. Subframe was a bitch to repair cause they had to do a LOT of work to get a new one in there. Everything done with used parts ran me at about $1100, and that was at a decently cheap place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphagtp Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I live in Kansas and we usually don't get snow until the end of December, and so far we are not even with low/winter temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Whats snow, i live in florida It is a natural occurrence, much like a hurricane occurs naturally... only one rarely loses their house to it and it goes away on its own without millions of dollars in cleanup.

89GP_SE Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 lol I tell ya, when I got my first car I had bald all seasons (I live in Saskatchewan, snow and ice are my friends, in fact just snowed today) I learned really fast how to drive in winter conditions for 7 months of the year. One - FWD does not mean I have traction Two - Every retard knows to pump the brakes when they dont have ABS Three - Dont blame stupidity on tires. Four - W-body's, even in perfect conditions cannot, and will not make a turn at 30MPH Five - Please move here and rear end my truck please, I need a new one!
