Big chunk breaks off at end. Get's dragged under car for two blocks. Finally grinds down enough to bounce whole length of undercarriage. Even worse noise.

Considering some of those lift springs now? I am.

Nah. I enjoy watching people's reactions too much.
Still haven't crashed either.

Well, I fired up the old FR-S and drove our daughter to the airport. The valve springs did not give out. My daughter is almost as bad as mrs humfrz, with all the foot stomping on the passenger side brake and the body English moves to swerve around other cars.

Maybe it's my driving? -

I did not crash.

(of course, I didn't have to back up)

I don’t want to jinks myself. I’m just enjoying the cheap available used parts on eBay when needed. Lol

Drove my FRS for 6 hours yesterday in rush hour traffic. Did not crash, but it was exhausting. And yes, it is possible to be in rush hour traffic for 6 hours.

Snowed a bunch last night. Drove to work this morning, did not crash. So satisfying to just drive around people driving their big SUVs with AWD on shitty all-seasons.

Drove the twin to work all week. The car is filthy. Every weekend I've had the chance to wash it the last couple months it has been raining, and this is the first (hopefully the last) winter the car has been parked outside.

Did not crash.

A Mustang tries to be like "come race me bro", high rev and burn out right next to me in front of the stop light during a rainy night. His Tail was swirling and I am afraid he will crash onto me. In the end, he launched with a high rev, therefore he lost control in the intersection.

Thank god he did not crash onto me...

The end.

Coming home last night...misting drizzel...in middle lane of three lane highway I see a fast approaching set of lights in mirror...look down the road and wonder just where this idiot is going since all three lanes are packed...never touched the brakes maintained lane and speed of 74mph...

SOB in a Beamer threads the needle from far right lane...almost clips me getting into my lane...passes the mac truck in right lane and threads the needle back into far right lane just before rear ending the car that had been in front of me...had to be doing 90-95mph...just as another idiot in a Beamer appears in the far left lane...obviously chasing the first...

Did not crash

I drove my FR-S yesterday to carry @Ultramaroon to lunch. When he was with me, I backed up once and did not crash. As you may recall, when @Tcoat rode with me I backed up once and crashed. Therefore, it must have been Tcoats fault that I crashed back then.

what do ya'll think??

Inconclusive. You were driving a Saturn when you tried to kill me.

You don't know what is filthy until you drive in Northeast winter. That salty, icy, sandy mud is something ...
