Default Wow, really bad day...

Well my ES300 bit the dust today. I have a few days of working on it to save it.

Here's my crap list.....

Over the past 2 weeks I somehow shattered 3 k&n cone filters
Yesterday My y pipe blew off my car when i was accelerating
Right after that all 4 rotors began to scrape on my rims
The both of my halfshafts shattered, making my day come to a quick halt

I replaced both halfshafts today, and I'm going to work on everything else this week at my dayton place.

So, I guess the real reason that I'm posting this is to say that anyone with any car needs to get a good cheup regularly. You never know when all hell will break loose.....

I didn't even read the post. All I saw was "really bad day" and "mcelligott".

Maybe I'll read the thread next month when I feel like reading something depressing :'(

Sorry mce. Hope you came out OK though!

*edit*

The away message says it all.

"Auto response from SeanMcElligott: the shatterer of halfshafts rests....465whp is a lot to handle at times i guess...."
