Yeah yeah...I know.... I was just about to switch over to my 18s when I suffered another casualty that took out two tires.
The price paid was only for a wheel alignment. Looking at the cost, as you can see it could've been much worse. The coverage provided already paid for half my warranty price. Last edited by Dark_Knight_335; 10-24-2014 at 05:58 PM.. |

The amount of time in the shop and damage done to my vehicle simply from driving on Los Angeles streets is staggering. Truly, it is.
Suspension parts replaced, headlights replaced and tweaked over and over and over again. Wheels replaced, tires replaced, bumper replaced. My next car is going to be an off road capable SUV. I am sick of this shit.

+1 Funny enough I was reading my latest issue of Car and Driver, and they had a "buy it used" section. They list the Cherokee SRT.....and say that the SUV has pretty much no weak points (no areas extra prone to fail). VERY fast vehicle--mid 4 second 0-60 mph. ~13 second quarter.
It will suck gas like it has a hole in its tank though.

I took one out and threw it into a corner, gave it a blip of gas, and I was sold on how well the damn thing handled bone stock. Unfortunately I couldn't find one in my price range that didn't have 80-90k+ miles.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you my friend have terrible luck with potholes.
Granted our roads are terrible, and probably even worse in your area than mine. Swerve brotha!!! |

That's the only thing I'm miffed about- the rim lip took a nick, but it wasn't bad enough to replace the rim- as it held air, and it wasn't bent or cracked in any way.

Normally yes, I would swerve, but unfortunately we all took a hit with a raised rail in the middle of the road that was part of a railroad track running the length of the street I hope you are well. |
