Interesting Tuesday

Well Tuesday night was rather interesting for me. I got to drive my Grand Prix approx. 45 miles with no brakes. I was visiting a freind and found a nasty pothole that somehow managed to knock out my brakes. I didnt feel like paying out the ass to have the car towed so bought me some brake fluid and jumped on the highway. Keep in mind this at about 11:30 at night so theres almost no traffic. Got off at an exit thats never busy and used the engine to slow it down and just creeped it home.

Of course the brakes weren't the only thing FUBAR'd after the meeting with the pothole. The driverside lower trailing arm for the rear end decided seperate itself partially from the frame right where it bolts up.

Even yesterday sucked, Autohole sold me a defective radiator for the tbird so I went to go exchange it and they didnt have anymore left. So I went to a different one and they tried to give me a used one that had a bunch of fins bent up. So after driving around for an hour and a half trying to find one in an unopened that wasnt used I finally found one.

About the only good thing that happend this week so far is my tbird is even closer to being on the road, and there will be one more peice of shiznit G-body in the junkyard.
