Rock hit radiator, cracked lower tank
Engine got really hot before I noticed
Replaced radiator
Months later the head gasket finally gave up
Put up with it for months hoping it was something else
Then I took a few more months to do the fix but it's been alive since December

Ordered something radio related over the weekend

I washed some bugs off yesterday from Monday's Keys trip

Oh, and then I had a small chunk ripped out of the rear bumper & my license plate has a sweet curve/crease to it now after a Mercedes rear-ended me tonight

Busted appart my left rear corner. Ordered parts to replace my hammered wheel bearing. Check out what came out of my left rear wheel bearing. Got so hot it melted the cv boot and abs sensor. Thinking i should replace the hub and knuckle as well but i got a bearing and boot on order for now.

Holy shit Jeff! I'd just go ahead and replace everything. Let me know if you need help finding anything locally.

I could use a left rear knuckle. That would be sweet to get one that hasn't seen track time.

I'll ask around. I've had some success getting a knuckle from JDM Kings in Opa Locka. Give them a call.
