Story - Nitro eating storm drain
I thought I was hot stuff today powersliding my evader all over the road today as several people were standing out on the road watching me.
I was WRONG
I powerslid right into the storm drain that looked a lot like this.
Before panicking, the first thing I thought of was
.oO(Great, now I can get a new truck!)
followed by
.oO(Oh ****, I just ordered a OS 18 CV-RX and $100 bucks in parts for this thing last night)
Not too sure how the hell that happened. I mean, the storm drain isn't much longer than the car, and the car actually scraped the top of it as it slid right into it. I couldn't slide it into that little slot again if I HAD to.
Luckily I could lay on the ground and peer into it and see that it was face down in a big pile of leaves. At this point I was more concerned that I was going to catch the whole thing on fire with the engine. But alas, I ran home and grabbed a hanger and snagged a wheel to rescue my sewer dwelling evader. [sm=drowning.gif]
The only thing wrong with it was a snapped the antenna tube and roughed up the head pretty well.
The end.

RE: Story - Nitro eating storm drain
I felt pretty dumb laying in the road trying to jam my head into the drain hole so I could see my truck. I tried prying the storm drain cover off but that stupid thing is heavy and my fingers weren't sufficient for prying the manhole cover.
I was laughing about it more than anything.
I mean, it was a great excuse to buy a new one.
Looks like I'll have to get it run over in a few months.

khlept, good luck figuring out ANYTHING he says.
I can't understand a word that comes from his keyboard.
nitro, until you own an Evader ST don't comment on its race-worthiness. it's a GOOD truck, now STFU.

I could say something about his signature that would explain things quite clearly, but I wouldn't want to get banned =]
Anyways, I like my Evader. It's the humble truck that could.
