SO PI$$ED!!! (Medium Length)

So, I finally took my car in to get it aligned. And, all they did was the toe setting. The next day, I didn’t think it felt right, but figured it was just missing its old “dead” zone. I had grown quite accustomed to it being there, you know.

So tonight, I finally gave in and jacked the car up in the garage. And, guess what??? The friggin’ toe bolts were finger loose!!! I grabbed the wheel and start moving it back and forth, and it started MOVING BACK AND FORTH!!! At this point I was REALLY fuming…

So then, I check the other side. And, guess what??? It was loose too!!!

Well, me and the trusty wrench just finished going at it for a few minutes. Now everything is back to normal. But, I’m definitely going to have a few choice words with the shop tomorrow after I race. And, good thing I checked it BEFORE hitting the track.

ARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!
(Hmp, I hate people…)

that sux man. what shop were you at? gotta make sure to stay away from there. that's totally uncool. you'd think they'd normally over tighten things just to avoid liability.

man, you should not have done anything yourself. For your money, the shop must have sent a tow truck over to your place, take your max to the shop, redo the work like supposed to, and give you a BJ. If you had an accident, it is their a** 100%. What a ripoffs...
