Starting to fall apart

[noclue119]

Saturday night....went into a decreasing radius left curve too fast. Locked up rear tires and hit a curb about 35-40mph. Destroyed FR rim, major curbage to RR rim. I'll post some pics later. Rolling on stockers now....

damn ur luck with this car doesn't stop does it

you need to be on a leash.

I really wouldn't call it his luck that is involved or bad luck at that, lets see:

Spun bearing due to oil starvation.... Luke's fault.
Bent front rim and curbed rear rim, along with a nasty alignment... Luke's fault.
Gouge in bumper from Varsity parking lot... Luke's fault.
Stripped lug... maybe Kevin's fault, I'm not sure, but probably Luke's fault.

Hey we did have a chance to help a boy scout earn his help a "Stranded Ricer Marrit (sp?) Badge"... No really this guy pulled over and he was wearing a full boy scout uniform, red/green socks and all, but yet that m.f.er didn't even have a flash light! He was way too old to be in scouts too.

Luck < Luke's driving style
I think maybe if life was one big autocross event, Luke would be on top.

[Foolish]

Apparently, you need to move to a place with no curbs!
