over the last 4 days i managed to burn my pcm, flame a vacume line, bust a turbo coolent line and trow my belt. my car is not considered a daily driver but its usually not this bad. lady luck is kicking my butt.

 

what do you suppose is causing so many things to go wrong?

 

all four are unrealated my only explanation is i did something wrong and kharma is gettin me. whowever the pcm fried do to an injester shorting. the vacume line caught fire becouse it was to close to the turbo the coolent line went becouse i used plastic fitting insted of copper and the belt flew becouse i took her out into rain with full boost(my bad idea). shes all better now but im kinda scared to take her anywhere

 

well its good to hear shes back on her feet, hope all goes well for a couple of days! lol good luck

 

its ok in 2 days my car was stuck in park and i had to have it dragged onto a tow truck and then shaken off onto my driveway which messed up my exhaust pretty bad and then i was changing my rims to my winter ones and i twisted off a lug. and that was just car stuff i wont go into what else happened.


ps 500th post yippie

Just step back and realize that it always could be worse.

 

Here's my story...
About 1-2 weeks ago, when I went to pick my car up from getting worked on, I inspected it and saw there was a power steering leak and the power steering wasn't working (the power steering was one of the reasons I took the car to him). The trans was also falling out of gear.
I've had numerous things done to my car and it's taking way too long to be completed. Now I've decided to have him paint the whole car while he's doing the other stuff. I haven't had my Neon for a while.

 

last year at maple grove speedway i was runing 10.5:1 with 26lbs boost. having a good day running, then at about 100mph, BOOM. i destroyed a rod sending peices out the front and back of the block and another through the oil pan.
