Bad day

[SySt]

So I am parking my 05 Taurus and the nose just scrapes a pile of snow/ice that I thought was not tall enough to do so. I back up and find power steering fluid all over the pile. Great, so I punctured a line. I check it out, sure enough it's punctured. Then I realize the bumper cover is cracked, and that my a/c condenser's lower fins were badly damaged. So I start patching it up. My hand dumped the condenser a little but not bad. Suddenly I hear a rush of air and fluid starts coming out. Great it's punctured i'm thinking. No, worse. I started the car and checked my transmission oil level and it was going down as the fluid leaked, out of the bottom of the radiator. So now I have no car and have to pay to fix all of this . Because of that one little problem I also did not get to do any work to the Supra.

Damn, that's some crappy luck man Tis why I'll never buy a ford.

It;s a good thing you have a warranty... Right? It is an 05' after all.

Ouch i feel you pain brother.

I went to register classes to today.Somehow on my 50 mile journey a coolant hose punctured unknowling to me untill i pulled up at school.As soon i shut her off bam,big cloud of smoke coming from under the hood. Not a good look for the supra.Any otherday nobody would have been in the parking lot, but today was packed so every one got to see my car smoking .

To add to my misery, i couldnt even regiser for class. My account was on hold, i was out of the system, my last semester of class wasnt even accounted for

To sum it all up, i filled her up with water. To try and limp to the major truck stop and waited for my ride to come 40 miles to get me.Now i gotta go back tomorrow to school fix this other stuff, And my dad will go down with a Flatbed(goodthing its a friend)To pick my baby up.

Its been loooooooooong day:ugh2:

SySt, "So I am parking my 05 Taurus"

I found the problem.....Its a ford....:nono:

 

[Loki]

Sucks to hear that, I hate when bad things happen

 

[Justin727]

dont let that ford get BHG!

 

[LoveMy7MGTE]

hey, not all fords are all that bad, i had a 1995 taurus SHO, the fact that it had a yamaha engine and mazda transmission probably helped though. damn that car was one hell of a sleeper, you'd never guess it had 220hp stock (mine had 310ish)

Syst: Let me get this straight....

The Ice did all the damage?

I'm not being a smartarse or anything we don't get snow/ice here at all so NFI it could do that much damage!

it can do all that damage and much more. think of snow/ice as if its a concrete curb. I live in michigan, shit like that happens all the time here. Especialy to ricers, lol, lotsa bodykits get torn off, haha

 

[IJ.]

Damn!
Thanks for the reply.

that must suck and blow at the same time!

I guess when I think about it it makes sense just wouldn't have expected it to be that bad not having spent much time driving in snow!

 

[americanjebus]

snow sucks ass IJ, cant use your ebrake after you drive through slush cus it freezes it on, wheel wells get full of snow and freeze overnight, you havfe to put your foot on the side of the car and pull the door free from all the ice and frost that froze it shut, then you have to drivef on an ice rink and all the chunks the snow plow left blocking your driveway, ice shard popped my dads tire last winter.

not as bad as you dude but i got my 5th parking ticket today while at work, having to move my car every 2 hours blows, pretty much have to go to work so i can pay my parking while im at work.... GAH!!

 

[willfish]

Next time don't run into a pile of ice and snow

But shit happens and sorry you have to deal with it in that weather. I dont even want to think about how miserable that has to be.
Good luck and you can work on the supra another day. Its not like you would want to drive the supra in bad weather anyhow.

 

[Draken]

yeah, snow and ice can suck, but you want to talk about fun to drive on when no one else is around the worst part is when there are others around with their fwd cars and they think they can play with the real cars....then they end up sideswiping you, or forcing you to tbone them....just ugly nast things...

and sorry about your car man, i know how it can be, wrecked my parents 95 crown vic last friday, it got totaled by a little focus (airbags going off are the reason)....if i would have been in my supra i could have stoped, but not in that big ugly heavy non-stoping car....:icon_evil

Snow is a lot of fun to drive in. I love sliding around with any car. Just transfer some weight and it's sideways as well as manipulating the brake (not hand brake). I caught myself doing that at 80 once... It was fun.
