A Graduate of the James Pio Driving School

[hutash]

I am having a real bad month.





I'm starting to think somebody is trying to kill me. I am advising people stay at least twenty away from me. So far who ever it is is 0 for 2. Thanks dog for my wife (who woke me up before the fire), and German safety engineering. Props to CalTrans and breakaway light poles.

Not sure what happened yet, something in the rear suspense broke and the car hooked hard right like my golf swing. Absolutely no control, I was on a Nantuket sleigh off the freeway through the light pole and into the bushes. Slope is a lot steeper then it looks, and getting out of the smoking car was interesting. Another driver stopped and pulled away enough branches for me to climb out the upside. Walked away with a few bruises, but am a bit stiff this morning.

Not even my car...bummer.

My daughter asked what ancient Indian burial did I desecrate recently?

[wyeaster]

holy shit, man. just go hide in a fire-proof padded room for a while.

[adrenalated]

Damn dude, you've had a hell of a month.

[Skidog]

You need a bubble right now bro. Keep your chin up. Surely can't get worse right?

When it rains it pours. On the plus side, 2 new cars now?

[2FUNKY]

Hunker down, they usually come in threes.

[ACH]

G-suss man!
Glad you are OK.
Better take an accounting of lives used/left.

If you are superstitious and believe that things come in three's (haha, Funky beet me to it), I'm hoping you've also had a paper cut this week so you can put a bow on this current trend and call it good.

[Timberridge]

Yikes. Glad you're ok.

Looks like someone forgot to do something when bolting back the rear LC arm. Always use new bolts and nuts folks.

and don't mix tires.

[plugboots]

Really dude. I guess you just gotta laugh at some point.

[Gepeto]

everyone can relax - You win... assassins work on a best2outta3 work ethos.

[Game Over]

Oh man. That sucks. Sorry to hear. Hang in there man!

[SB]

Dayum, glad you ok again. You need you a real padded room.

Stay safe brutha.


On the flip side I am sure you made the Pio proud.

[Cruiser]

Pio'd the heck out of that bimmer. Well done, sir! Glad you got out with only minor injuries.

[BmillsSkier]

Geez man, glad you’re safe.

However, I think “graduate” of the James Pio School of Driving May be a little premature. You’re not fully inverted.

It’s a strong effort though so let’s see if the Dean lets you slide by with a C.

glad you're ok...whose car were you stealing?

True. Pio flipped his with 4 fully functional control arms. Extra points to Pio.

...and don't mix tires.

I was going to make the same joke.

shit hutash, I'm glad you're ok.

So that was a loaner or insurance rental?

And yet you thank dog for German engineering?!?! Fuck that, nothing like that has ever happened in any of my Japanese engineered rides.

lolz. True is that but the one thing I do worry about on my old Subaru is a rear control arm pulling out of the rear subframe because it is a known rust item...thus I inspect it and all the contact points regularly and so far it is super solid.

Hutash I don't mean to be selfish but my dog is getting old and I will probably need some more advice at some point so be careful! What an incredible series of events. Stay strong.

Most of us here have switched to Korean technology.

Glad you're ok Dave.

but am a bit stiff this morning.

Good job putting a positive spin on it.

[hawkgt]
