Angry Just GRRRR... clutch and suspension go at the same time

I just had to rant a little here cause I'm not happy at all. I knew my throw-out bearing was on it's way out the door back in June. I knew that eventually (some time early next year) I'd be due for a new clutch. No, I'm not just replacing the bearing... that's kind of retarded.

So I take it to a guy today to have everything looked at and get a once over and he determines the throw-out bearing is on it's last leg and a lot worse since June. The fact that you can feel the pedal move under your foot is a dead give away. He then goes on to tell my all my springs are binding and 2 of 4 struts are dying and 1 of 4 is dead. So basically I've been driving a bottomed out car with no suspension travel... no wonder it handled like a dream with no roll.... cause it couldn't friggin move anywhere!

This of course has led to torn rear strut mounts which were improperly installed and reenforced slightly after buying the car (a big F U to Arlington BMW), and the driver front sway bar end link is shot.

Friggin LOVELY day!

end rant


Oh, and I CRUSHED/cracked/killed my driver side splitter (Nicole like to call them 'shitters' cause she thinks they look like shit) going up a driveway this morning
