What did you break over the summer? Well, over this summer a lot of parts went out on me this summer, so im just curious what everyone else broke?
For me:
Crack in radiator
Powersteering line sprung a leak
Rack and pinion was leaking from boot just before I put it away
Fog light bulb
Battery
Tires.... more or less my fault lol
I guess it could of been worse!
Not looking forward to getting tires, rack and pinion and an alignment in the spring. Guess thats just part of the game!

uhhmm well my first fbody was a v6 firebird so i dunno if you wanna count that.
My second fbody was a 00 Z28 with 97k miles with bolt ons that I trashed almost everyday.
My current WS6 has trex cam, volant cai, 82mm TB, LS6 intake, pacesetter lts, dual exhaust dumped rear axle, 275 nitto's, few other things im sure I am forgetting. Makes 423rwhp through stock heads and "stock" LS6 intake mani. I am getting FAST 92/92 set up soon. Hopefully gonna get 440-450rwhp. I do baby my car though.

I had a nitrous backfire blow my MAF all to ****, blew the grill in the hood out and even spit some smoke and fire out the hood. All I did was chunk the MAF and switch over to SD and amazingly the car is still running strong. I think my clutch may be slipping a little too but other than that it's been a good year
