    Ha! Broke strut!!

    Well, I've outdone my self on this one. I'll get pics up tomorrow when I fix it, but mycar looks pitiful, kinda badass, but pitiful. I pulled into a restaurant tonight and I heard a weird pop. I park, get out and notice the ground is higher than usual. I inspect and notice my car is hammered in the rear driver's side. I day "hmmm?" and go inside for some Mexican eatin'. I come back out and establish that I can't leave, so I call a friend. We go to my house and get two jacks and some tools. We get back to my car and it's snowing/raining and is cold as fuck (CAF) and I strategically jack my car up and remove the wheel. I find that the lower attatchment point of the strut is broken off. The bushing and end of the strut are on the control arm. The strut is attatched at the top. The end of it broke right off and caused my car to ''sit sideways'' (reference to my 'grill' thread) and it looked kinda tight, gave me a full tease of what cylinders are gonna do....so I gotta fix it tomorrow, ahhhhh!
