The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

i just got it yesterday, and havent driven the car since.. im doing it tomorrow when i do the header

My doofus friend that understands nothing about physics or driving nailed a big hole on a brick road in my town and broke the front driver's side spring perch off the strut on his newly purchased pristine E28 going around a corner tonight to pick up a pizza... He took the corner way too fast. I mean I have nothing wrong with cornering quickly, I do it all the time, but you have to know which corners to do it on, and that brick road is never one of them. It made me sick.. You know that feeling when someone that understands nothing about how to take care of a car has a car that they don't deserve... Yeah.. :(

Probably the worst way to slam a car.. Zero suspension travel, the perch bottomed out on the sway bar and caliper.

Felt nothing. Only reason I even knew about it was the mass status updates from literally every person I'm friends with on Facebook.

Congrats on the new job Nate. When are you coming to get your baby-mobile?? :)

gotta save up some for a down payment, and now she's considering cars too.
 
Well, yesterday sucked major balls. I was told that I either have to take a $10/hr drivers position or I'm going to be let go. Lucky me! Nothing like having your salary almost cut in half...

It's the same setup as my E3. You probably could remove the shock absorber insert and weld it back together. Here's a diagram.

Sorry to hear, Chris. But at least they offered you the drivers position. You could always take that until you find something better. Keep your head up.
