(17th Apr 10 at 2:58pm UTC) I sure hope not. So today I was trying to get out of a parking lot, some guy was walking on the side walk, he stopped and signled for us to go, so I put on the gas, but was only going 2mph turned the wheel slightly and this is what happened: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/personal/041600_145800.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/personal/041600_145801.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/personal/041600_150600.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/personal/041600_150601.jpg A neighbor fixed it though, so it' all good, we have to go to walmart to get a replacement tire though. We also need to get more Transmission fluid, and more oil... as it was leaking... What sort of car problems have you had? was it worse than you expected?

Anyways i've never had anything major like that happen. The worst thing that i've had to do was 2 years ago. My dad was driving me back home from a doctors appointment, he it something and blow a tire. he had no spare, and no jack in the van at all... So i had to walk 5 miles to walmart in 3/4 feet of snow, in the evening so it was cold. All to get a spare tire and a jack.. That was a nightmare Back to Top - Link to Post Nick Very Senior Member Posts: 3,013 Status: Offline Gender: Male Location: vForums Age: 35 Joined:   Reputation: 62%   pmwww Re: bad luck, or what? (18th Apr 10 at 4:38am UTC) I don't know what my problem is!! D: But it's about time it broke anyways. We kept on hearing cracking noises in that area. But anyways, it's fixed. It was the ball joint that broke. (The snapping and cracking we herd all these years.) I'm just glad it did it at 2mph instead of 35 or 40 mph. But yeah, It's all fixed and I'm happy.

XD Yes i'm glad that it broke then and not later, I don't need to be going and seeing a friend in the hospital or a funeral home XD but yes how the tired were setting it looked like something on the axle snapped. What I don't get is why the tranny started leaking from that XD or was it just over slow or did the tranny get punctured of something?

(18th Apr 10 at 6:28pm UTC) Yeah I know. I'll explain this the best I can. Cars to me are like babies, I don't know what to do. The axle thing came off with the wheel, and transmission fluid started to leak from the hole that was unplugged by the axle. Something punctured the wheel, not sure how. Later when we got it home by a tow truck, our neighbor was working on it, and oil started to leak (nothing was punctured, it was coming from the hole.) So yeah, after the wheel was put back on, we had to put in more transmission fluid, and oil. Everything is fine now. The guy that fixed the last bit part of the wheel, is gonna try to find a new muffler this part: http://www.exhaustdistribution.com/web/images/stories/muffler-univ.jpg because there is a hole on the side of it (next to the pipe) and it's loud. We have to be careful when going past a Squad Car, because currently they'll stop anyone for anything. They stop someone just to stop them. And give tickets out for anything. Currently, the city is low on money, so they resort to this. Back to Top - Link to Post dog199200 Guest Re: bad luck, or what?

(18th Apr 10 at 8:34pm UTC) No duh I've had a car before, two actually. One my parents sold on me right after putting $200 to fix it up. The second wouldn't of been able to make the move, so I sold it before moving down here XD Back to Top - Link to Post Nick Very Senior Member Posts: 3,013 Status: Offline Gender: Male Location: vForums Age: 35 Joined:   Reputation: 62%   pmwww Re: bad luck, or what?
