Good/Bad news.....


It's been like two weeks since I posted, but since the last time I posted
I got good and bad news.
I bought a performance drive shaft from american muscle
and installed it no problem.
But yesterday while rainXin my windows to drive home from
New Orleans. My front passenger side tire decided to blow up.
Literally I was sitting there heard a funny noise then BOOM
sounded like a gun shot my tire blew.
So after some time off getting that off I discovered about
a four inch hole on the inside rim of the tire.
So I made the trip to Gulfport on A doughnut, and
am shopping for tires which will not be cheap.
Just like my drive shaft wasn't either.
And to top it all off my gay spoiler broke, so now I have to find a new one of them also. Even though I planned too because the double stack was stupid, it was just un expected stupid crap.
I'm wasting money fixin broken stuff rather than moddin the things I want.




Short story-
Got new drive shaft( 300 bucks)
Tire blew out( Another 300-400 bucks)
Spoiler broke ( Another 75-100 bucks)
My life sucks

Aluminum.

That sucks, but shit happens. That's when you wipe.

Just think of it this way, at least you are fixing what is broken, instead of modding it and not being able to drive it period.

Go spoilerless for a while.

Yeah I figured I'd rather be able to drive it and it be " slow "
Than ride my bike and be at hobo status but have a modded broken stang in
my driveway,
I've came up with a plan.
I have my stock hood taking up space in my garage,
Ao i figured I'll take it to a auto salvalge yard and be like
I'll trade you my hood for a spoiler.
And if that doesn't work
I'll just fill the holes and ride without one for a while.

It will save you some money and look awesome IMO. Make sure to seal the holes up in the trunk deck.

I like having my spoiler off ten times better than having it.

why will one tire cost 300-400 bucks? just replace the blow out with the same type of tire new and leave the rest of the other three alone.

and spoilerless FTW

As for that I haven't really noticed anything different, and I don't really care what it did.
I WAS just happy to be driving my car up until the blow out

you can probably get a used tire for $30, i used to sell them for as little as 25$ each, for ones that would last a season or so, obviously you can get better ones for more money too but it would get you by just fine for now.
