Default sittin on the side of the road, bored. *PICS*

the oil feed line for my vortech sprung a leak. my cabin filled up with the lovely smell of burning oil. thankfully that **** didnt ignite and burn my car to the ground. now, im waiting for the tow truck to take me home. oh and on a side note my stage roush bunper is going in the dumpster thanks to me not being cautious pulling out of a parking lot. i think im going to try and find a 99 or 01 cobra bumper and if no luck than i'll get the termie to replace it.


FML, expensive day.

yeah...not how i wanted to spend my friday. there are some concerned people out there. i would say 1 out of 15 cars stopped and asked if i needed help. i think they stopped because they wanted to check my car out or maybe because i was in uniform. i would say out of the 10 people that stopped 5 of them were air force, no females. well, one could be considered a female but well below my sober standards.

here are a few pics i snapped. my car looked just like this back in june when i blew the coolant crossover in germany.

I dont think your car likes being back in the USA, it was probalibly having an affair with a little VW over there and its getting even with you.

Replace that hose with a piece of braided s/s.

That sucks man. While you're getting a new bumper, I think you should replace that hood too and send it my way. Just a thought you know.

I would get S/S line but switching the fittings and putting it together will run too much dollar. im going to get a replacement line ($24) and get some heat shrink from work to help prevent chaffing and use some spiral teflon wrap for added protection.
