Well tonight i was driving from work and some asshole cut me off!:angry: I freaked out because i was so tired i hit the curb. My headlights won't go down, i broke my front under-ground neon,and my gas tank hit the curb and some how i got a hole at the top of it. To top that all off, i gotta replace both gas lines and i need new tie rod ends. THIS SUCKS!

i only drove it to get it out of the road. When i parked it i inspected it. The fuel lines are so rusted that when the curb smaked them, the lines cracked. It stalled out when i got in the parking lot. It will all be fixed saterday or sunday when i get paid.

How do you lose a chunk outta your gas tank? Isn't it steel or something?:confused:

Also, sorry to laugh, but the way you worded the part about the losing $8 in gas was funny.:D

How do you lose a chunk outta your gas tank? Isn't it steel or something? And yes it is steel..BUT the curb is alot stronger than that 1/8 in steel..if you hit it hard enough..trust me...that curb will do some damage.
