  • messed up my bird

    got it all nice and cleaned up in the nice florida type weather went for a drive, saw a 98 z28 drop top for sale, so i figured i check it out and see how much they wanted. well i spaced out and ran over on of the islands(moron i kno ) so im driving it home, i hit the brakes and it pulls to the right now, then making a left turn(bout a 80* angle turn) i heard what sounds like something was gonna fall off. check it out when i got home, theres play but it seems its in the wheel bearings(i just replaced em 2 months ago) guess im gonna have to take it to work to check it out man i hope its something simple just really ticked off right now

    That sux, man. I hope it's nothing major. I've done stupid stuff like that before. I once backed into one of those concrete posts at the car wash and rubbed the back fender on it. I drove the front fascia right into a huge rock that was sitting right by the curb as decoration in this parking lot. I think most of the damage to my paint has been done by me. One would think my wife would have done that kind of stuff, but she has never damaged it at all. Sometimes I'm just a space case, so don't feel like you're the only one.

        Its ok man, we all have our space out moments at one point or another. I was really tired leaving work today at the landscape and garden center i work at and had been outside all day and almost ran into this big cart full of flowers and plants!! I was like 1 foot from it, thank god i hadn't hit the gas yet. hopefully its somethin simple thoughh and good luck with the fix

          That sucks I hope it's nothing major. I just did a little damage to my bird this weekend too. While waxing it in semi high winds outside I failed to notice some dirt get between my applicator pad and my car. So instead of pollishing it I was giving it a nice swirl job on the hood (didn't notice it untill it was all done)

          The worst part is that you did something to hurt your car and you can't get mad at anyone but yourself, so you just feel stupid untill you get over it
