Well after the cam bolt issues with flea i thought i was having shitty car luck. Then my transmission went on the focus. well last night at 11:30 pm i was driving home after band practice and hit a big fawkin pot hole that put a huge ass dent in the wheel. No shoulder to pull off on i had to drive about 200 yards on the bent rim. I guess i couldn't make it any worse. I am afraid to drive my truck now, good thing i have 4 vehicles. at least 1 of them is okay to drive to work. I'll post a pic later.

What do people think of ADR wheels?

Dude this week is focked. On tues, my girlfriend had a big rock kicked up that cracked some of her front bumper (on her contour) and bent in her radiator and broke the fan. Then weds some bitch scratched my rear bumper while parrallel parking at school (I didn't get any info). Then on thurs night my girlfriend got fucked again some bitch backed a truck into her and bent in the whole driver side (while it was parked), and totalled it :( This week is stressing me out man.

Damn! Good thing my girl is tucked away in a shed somewhere. Where you guys don't know where it is!!!!

But as the rims go, those would look sweet on the 3G Eclipse.

Well they are on order hopefully they will be here soon. $389 is not bad for 17"s, and that is shipped. They will be shod with Continental Conti-Extereme's.

Yeah, I have a power steering leak, and a burnt transmission line (how the hell did that happen?!) and my stock rear speakers just crapped out.

Damn car flu.

hey, at least you didn't lose the keys and have to grind out the lock cylinder (complete with hardened pins) only to send the keys to the locksmith to get matched to the door, have the locksmith screw up the keys, and have to grind out the new one too :evil:
