Default my fing luck

had a damn dog jump in front of my car and couldn't help but hit the brakes and jerk left. Not only did i damage the wheel they fing look like an IED hit them. wheel all over the place, i'm talking 8 in pieces missing and chuncks found 50 yds down the road.

only good news is the dog and myself are ok. wish i could have found the poor thing so i could take him home but he ran off. guess the black FM 10's are coming sooner than i thought, but not to soon.

this kind of of thing is normal for me, i just have bad karma but dont' know why. don't wish a bad thing on anyone, even enemies but still have this kinda luck. just wonder if i should just lock myself in a cell and just watch things go by.

Hey man, at least you're alright. It's a only temporary setback. Wish I could say the same thing about my last car.

Well, i told my old lady, "You ever swerve to miss a dog and bust up the car, you will wish you woulda hit the bastard..." and also, "If it is smaller than a dear....hit it!"

I guess i would rather clean up some fur and blood than pay to fix my ****...hope i dont offend anyone, but i keep my animals on a leash.

Damn man that sux!!!

The way that I look at bad things that happen is like this:

If something happens, it is for a reason whether it be good or bad!
I hit a nasty pot hole a while back and was unable to go straight home after work.
I had to wait around for pops to bring me another rim and tire. While I was sitting there waiting I thought to my self, What if I hadn't hit that hole, and would have been able to drive straight home? What if I would have been in a nasty accident and that damn hole just kept me out of harms way!

Moral is, its not necessarily Karma, Its more like a Guardian Angel!!
They do what they have to do, to delay you and keep you safe.

I've always thought a lot of those GM A-body's looked good. Very clean and uncluttered. Didn't take much to make them look even better, too. You have a nice one, Comp!

Sux to hear White Man but at least you are ok. Could have been worse. Don't get so down on yourself. Just think how badass it's gonna look with the FM10s eventually.

Complicated, you car is so clean. Saw it on 45-S last week. Very nice!

Thanks for not plowing the dog. When you own/love a dog you think differently about hitting one. Sorry about your rim.

There's a guy who was selling a set of FM/10's in the Austin area. Not sure if he still has them.
