A few years ago, I had a 2000 Civic Coupe that I used as a commuter. I was on my way home from work and I honestly don’t know exactly what I was thinking, but I went to make a right turn and somehow I turned too early. The left rear tire ended up whacking the curb really hard. I thought I blew a tire because there was an immediate rhythmic noise. I got out and looked, the tire and wheel were completely unscathed, so I continued home. The next day, I put the car on the lift and spun the wheel. The wheel bearing sounded horrible. I checked the balance of the wheel/tire and it was completely unchanged. Somehow I managed to hit a curb really hard, immediately destroy the wheel bearing but not do anything to the wheel or tire. Basic Michelin tires and Integra GS-R 5-spoke wheels. I guess it pays to use quality parts, an aftermarket wheel would have disintegrated. The wheel bearing had 250k on it so I guess it was just one hard whack away from death. Luckily the wheel bearing is the same style as this, so it took about 10 minutes to replace.
I’m in a New York State of rust
I'm definitely using that "You from Tennessee?" line on my wife tomorrow. I love making her roll her eyes out the back of her head. 😂
Mango's are amazing.. You're missing out.
Good job man! Good job taking care of the extras or misc issues!!!
That job deserved. a Pie. Cherry Pie.
I can't believe that you didn't replace that horrible brake rotor – terrible mechanics
I live in Virginia but I had a 2011 Ford fusion that made it to 321,000 mi before the transmission sent it to the salvage yard in March. Besides normal maintenance the only thing I really had to do to it was replace the driver side CV shaft. Even at the end of its life the engine still only burned about 4 oz of oil over a 10,000 mi oil change which I was really impressed with. And I know several people who share the same story about those Fusions. They were great cars.
and I thought I was the only one in the world who turned his tools around backwards to whack something back on to the car. I don't feel lonely anymore!..
