So I don't know what the hell is going on here but it seems that my two front tires have formed fatal blisters.

There has been an off noise in the front of the car when I drive close to a wall, I thought it was just a dustboot or a slightly warped brake..

As it turns out. THERE WAS A ******* PIECE OF RUBBER MISSING THE SIZE OF A SAUSAGE... WTF...

I've got new rubber at 8am so it's fixed but that could have been Very bad at 160...

Here are some shots..

^^^ automatics have the cool red text.



Thanks, I got bored and jealous after seeing them on the MSP and figured since I had the dash out for my DaveB rings I might as well do some paint work. I like it.

Tis but a scratch.
I think they're getting better...



Ok, so coming back from bowling (a bunch of GA ppl get together every thursday) and some bag of douche in a jeep cherokee is sitting at the light next to me. Anyway, the light turn yellow for the road running across ours, and he revs his engine and holds it there (aka wants to race). Anyway, there were cars up ahead, but I had a car on said douch by the end of 2nd :D
First win for the P5 (rlaugh)

pics of Morrigan's new sister... don't know her name just yet though :) (apologies for the pic, it was getting pretty dark when i got her home tonight)

as for what she's got:
1988 626 LX with 287k km
silver with very little rust around the rear wheel well on the driver's side, burgundy interior in near perfect condition, power windows/mirrors/locks, cruise, A/C with economy mode, auto (I know) with economy/power modes, and has a car starter already. It is a 5-lug, so my steelies *should* fit. This is great for two reasons: I don't have to buy winter wheels for the 626, and the stock wheels (14" all seasons) can go on my car while it sits over winter. Oh, and one of the neatest things I think I've seen in a car - the center air vents in the dash have a button you can push to make them oscillate.

For some reason I look at the 626 and want to call her, Autumn.

Be back in a sec *runs out to the garage to investigate*
OK, guess I was imagining or hallucinating about what I thought I had seen. Couldn't replicate it. Next thought was that it may be something about the MSP gauges since I see silver needle in one pic but that was yours so yeah, back to the original question I suppose. Another mystery for theman to straighten out.
 
Straddled a 400lb freshly ran over deer carcass this morning. Completely smoked the front end. I can't believe it didn't bust again.......Some blood on the bumper and all kinds of meat hangning underneath. Will asess the situation more when the daylight comes, but it was pretty much BBQing all the way to work............Smells nasty..
 
Go back one page and check out post #4941. Thanks to Kansei for the answer.

Well, went out with a flashlight to see what we got. It's pretty nasty. There is s*** all down the underside of the car. Clear back to the rear sway bar. There is a pocket by where the lower control arms mount in the front that is filled with meat...............

Time to hit the car wash.....
 
been there done that... had a ground hog that met the same demise. Smelled that nasty cooking meat smell for days. :( I can still smell it now that you brought it up?!
 
Just went out and checked it out again. It's got a fresh blood pool about the size of a golf ball under it............
