Heh. Let's see those with monster camber.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Front lower control arms creaking was driving me nuts, watched a YouTube video showing how to poke a small hole into the bushing arm rubber cover and injected a lubricant. Seems to have taken care of the problem and a lot cheaper than replacing the control arms. Curious to see how long it will last.

I used a pry bar to open my mangled driver's door so I could open the frunk to remove my luggage.

I'm thinking that teasing us is awefully close to "being a dick", so you just watch it!

:lol:



Seriously though, glad you're ok. Sorry about the car :( :cry:
