Got this email from my brother this morning. He was driving his brand new 09 GTi. "Don't know if you heard or not, but I hit a freakin' manhole cover Saturday. At speed...90KPH. Sounded like a freakin' bomb hit us. $3000 in parts, labour extra, align't extra, rental extra. The GVRD is paying for it all. No body damage. Thank FQN Christ!!!" Thats gotta suck.
man everyone is havin bad luck with their cars lately. my cousin with her 09 benz, my friend's brother hydroplaned and crashed about a month ago (scary cause i passed right by him when it happend) then my friend got his bimmer hit, then I got hit the other night, and then my same friend's mom had an accident as well. Crazy few months.
It was at night, pouring rain and the city had been doing some road work and didn't replace a manhole cover!
Oh, well that makes a bit more sense. I was joking anyways. That would be a big ball of suck right there.
You were posting how everyone was having bad luck with their cars lately. I didn't want the bad luck to rub off on me. Dammit, now I probably just jinxed myself. lol.
Oh damn that sucks ken. Glad he's ok though. What color GTI did he get? I don't like the look of the new ones so much, but I guess I'm biased.
Looks just like yours. Only better! LOL He's blacked out almost everything on the car now. Waiting on new 19s in the spring. Schroth harness. Wicked car.
Yep, and my mistake. He didn't hit the open manhole, just the cover lying in the road! Thats nuts. Total bill will top $4k it looks like.
oh yeah? i have bold in front. but i have new set sitting here since april. gona get them put on before december, dont feel comfortable driving in rain, keeps spinning even in 3rd. BTW your bold should be in front and good tires in back, thats how it supposed to be
Ouch dude, glad to hear he's ok thought and the local municipality(?) will be picking up the tab :thumb:
