[schade]

so ... i've had a pretty s***ty day all together .. it all started on the drive to work;

i was cruising through wasaga on my way to work, when i started to feel a vibration in the steering wheel .. then 30 seconds later ... i see my LF wheel go flying down the road and nearly miss a house. I'm just glad there were no other cars around at the time.

You ask why did the wheel come off? well on saturday when i went to buffalo to pick up my new tires and have them installed. So from what i can figure out, when they put the rims back on my car, the LF wheel was missing the hub-centreing ring on the inside of the rim. After driving home from buffalo like this, then to work this morning it finally managed to work itself loose after wiggling around on the hub

in total i ended up breaking 4 wheel studs, damaging a rotor and LF fender, and am probably gonna need a new rim too, if the bolt holes can't be fixed

This finally gave me the chance to put my new rotors and pads on that i've been putting off using in hopes of getting darkpuppets big brake kit

i guess the only brightside to this happening today was that when i got home and went to pull into my driveway and there was a massive tree that got dropped in the tornado-like storm that went through stayner/collingwood/wasaga/elmvale tonight ... if i would have been home 45mins sooner, my car would be under that tree :)



and pics of the damage



and my new vs old brake pads


now i just gotta fight with the shop in buffalo to get them to fork up the cash for atleast some of the damage they caused
