My not so April Fools day!!!

My not so April Fools day!!!

Well I was at work and I had this call from my girl who was crying at the time that my car was messed up. She told me that the rear passenger wheel was ripped off from the car and that the car is sitting on the ground. I thought she was joking at first but she wasn't. She evaded a pot hole at the mall and ended up hitting a rain gutter and sucked the car to the curb and broke the rear hub and drum off the car.

Fuck man, that sucks. What are your plans with the car now?:sad:

well I actually fixed it right there on the spot. I called up the shop and dropped off an entire rear end and just used the parts I needed. The body is just scraped up underneath and the kit just got some scraped and crackes, but its all back on again. The bad thing was that my wheel hit the parked maxima and had to pay for the damage. My plans for the car was to go jdm, but I got alot of problems to take care of so there's no plans for the corolla for a while. The only thing that sucks is that it has bad exhaust leaks and it sounds like shit.

thats horrible luck dude

you have some of the worst luck, hope you rebound better than ever

damn dude and the hits just keep coming, but well the main thing is that ur girl is okay and that the damage wasn't huge.

wow I guess my saturday wasn't as bad man....

holy shit!! :O

whats that yellow thing?

that's his drum I believe!!

Omg!!

U gots lots of repair to do, that would piss me off if that happened to me.

Haha...it's true...I made the comment later that evening..."I just realized it's April Fool's Day. ...is somebody gonna pop out here in a second and go, "Gotcha you fuckers!""

We totally feel for you man. Good thing it didn't snap your spindle.

Damn man - I've never seen a hub shear off and take the top off a drum like that before. Must have been one hell of a hit to the curb, right speed at the right angle. Sorry to hear about what happened - fortunately it wasn't any worse (she could have spun it infront of someone). Hope everything works out.

well things are starting to get better now cause my insurance took care of the other car the wheel hit and the car drives fine. The rear end we got came with lowering springs and some good shocks so I'm cool with it. As for my girl, well she made up for it and no one will ever drive my car again except for me.

damn dude, you havent been doing too well lately huh? i say bitch at ur city for having ugly bohemoth gutter holes that kill people.

she made up for it? Aint no fun if the homies can't get none!

ahh man I'm sorry for your luck, I just can't let my girl drive my ride yet.

I think that was gods way of telling you not to have yellow drums...lol

The car hit it hard enough to seperate the bearing, which is why the drum broke since the wheel hub is fixed to it. I would check the other wheel bearings.

Good to hear everything is ok

bad luck, probably. All I know is this freaking corolla just keeps going after all the beating it takes. Its a beast cause even with exhaust leaks, its strong enough to smoke a cleanly built crx.

how the hell can you not see that pot hole....

well atleast she made up for it lol

well there was another pothole before it and she evaded it, but ended up hitting a bigger one and the curb.

all i can say is, sucks dude. But unfortunatly we've all been there..

We should start a club: The "My Wheel Fell Off My Car And I Have Horrible Luck Club." My rear wheel randomly fell off while I was driving on the highway and rolled 1/2 mile past me.

lol nice vamp and we are both filipinos two. Luckily you only had one wheel mess up. My front wheel got bent really bad and there is like a 6 inch gash on the tire. I'm hoping this is gonna be the last time I have bad miss fortunes with this car cause I'm just gonna sell it and get a honda or something. I'm already needing to get a clutch master cylinder again cause the freaking thing can't hold pressure for longer then 3 seconds and after that it gets stuck to the floor and kills the car.

if you take it slow and fix everything in order, and correctly, you'll find that the car isn't so unlucky after all, just don't take on any projects before you've fixed, all the way, what you have.

ya, it just pisses me off that after having it in the shop for so long and having it run again then problem after problem shows up some more. It's been months since I've actually added anything onto the car. Instead of upgrading, its downgrading. Well my goal is to get this thing running and looking better then it used to by July so I can join some shows and some bracket racing here in town. I know its crazy, but nitrous is one of my plans for the car cause all these problems just made my ultimate plan for the summer disappear.

I feel your pain. BTW... I forgot this one pic (ignore the pin stripes... it was way back in the days
