Bad Luck
Bad Luck seems to plague me. I'm seriously considering going back to stock****SERIOUSLY. All of you know that I'm had A LOT of problems with my IS and just got it back together despite a minor issue at Carlisle. Coming home in the middle of the night(same day as leaving Carlisle) approx 1am I'm driving home with Mrs Apex after a movie and run straight over some road kill. Any of you who have traveled down Rt29 at night know that its not well lit at all. I could see the fuc*****ing thing what ever it was. Despite that it destroyed the front bumper AGAIN, and it smells as it I have a radiator leak. I'm so fuc****ing pissed that I didn't even bother to check for more damage. 
This really sucks.
But the Apex IS will ride again.

Sorry to hear about your bumper. Bad luck is one of those things that passes over time. As hard and frustating it is when things like this happen,it's always worth the satisfaction you get of seeing your ride looking good everytime.

Sucks L, but don't go back to stock. I hit a big racoon once and ripped off my front (after losing another to train tracks and another to a curb). After a string of bad luck you'll get a break for a while 
Good luck fixing her up and glad you are both OK.

Hang in there L. You know I felt the same way Friday when everything was going wrong. I felt like what the hell is going on!?!?!? Then I took a breather and as you saw, I showed up at Carlisle. 
Just take a step back and everything will work out.

Leroy, don't be too hard on yourself. You know things come up but it's how you handle it that makes the difference. Def don't go back to stock! They say things happen in 3's and though I know that doesn't make you feel any better, just keep thinking positive thoughts. Your NELOC Sister
