car problems -
07-14-2004, 05:55 PM
LOL well today is just a wonderful day
i have an old 1990's car so w/e
comming home from school, me and a friend of mine - brady were riding in my car, i stop at a stop sign to make a left hand turn, and i exucute the turn
POP
crap what was that < clunk clunk clunk > me and brady look at each other <oh ####>
i pull into a parking lot, and the gears arn't working, i am thinking it's the transmission, on a front wheel drive car..... when a tranny <transmission> goes out in a front wheel drive car, youhave to pull the ENGINE out to get to it.....wee
so i call my mom, some dude pulled on the side of the road and gave me a cell phone...it was a rod comming from the transmission to my tire, to turn it.....i think it's called a cv joint, anyways i tore it up good. and it was dragging.....so like we tie the joint up so we can bring it home.....my mom hooks her car up to mine aand we proceed to drive home, at 2 mph
well about half way there 2 miles or so, during a turn, the joint comes loose, and decides it wants to flatten my TIRE - great, now there is another 70 bucks to fix the tire -- wee freakin la
so here i am, going 2 mph, getting pulled by my mom on a rope 2 feet long, crossing a major intersection, with a flat tire rolling on a rim, and then the grinding starts, oh yes my friends grinding......i hope that the city doesn't decide to sue me for leaving a 2 miles scratch in thier road....
pictures below
with the tire off

it seems the cv joint completly became a spike
[img]http://www.daplayazclub.com/uploads/rod1.jpg[/img]
that's the end of the rod, it was thrown into the engine, but it doesn't look like it's done any damage yet.....that end connects to the wheel, the other connects to one side of the transmission.
belive it or not that spike used to look like this

well, when the rod became a spike, and i turned that turn as mentioned above, it decided to slice mein tire
[img]http://www.daplayazclub.com/uploads/tire1.jpg[/img]

it has been clicking for a while on turns, i have taken it in to several shops and they said that it was indeed the CV joint going bad, but that it wouldn't do any damage...i havn't had the $$ to fix it, but i guess iam SoL about that now LoL
it's a 1990 Geo Storm, i picked it up for $400 bucks, though it's a crappy car, it gets good mileage, and gets to point A to point B. and my friend $400 bucks is a steal for a car.

cars are like that? did you learn your lesson? if you put off problems you will only grow bigger. if you had just replaced the cv joint it may have cost about 100$. now you have to replace that, the tire, a new rim, & got knows what else is messed up under there from that thing flopping around.

you fucking boons dont quote the first damn post! cuss:
That hole in the bottom of the tire is from when it went flat, it dragged alot in one spot due to the bent rim. so as it was draged along it wore the rubber away.
