Default One Tough ***** Firestorm

when i first bought my firestorm i had my douts about the truck b/c there was so many things wrong with it. i finally got it running and im very happy now, took it camping with me and crunch, a freakin Tahoe ran it over. broke the heat sink, ex manifold and front bulk head... Thats it! its amazing how durable these trucks are. a SUV runs it over and it only costs me $50, not a problem there. Anyone else have any stories like this? Heres my try at postin the pics, if they dont come out right, can someone tell me how? /Users/Ashley/Desktop/081007_14221.jpg /Users/Ashley/Desktop/081007_14223.jpg /Users/Ashley/Desktop/081007_14222.jpg

I had my jato ran over by a minivan! I was running in my front yard after replacing the front bulkhead, and modding breaks, breaks didnt work so good, so I's drivin round, and lost sight of it under my van, hoping the brakes would work alittle, but no, along comes a minivan and crunch-ola! the mini drives a little forward stick her head out the window and says "sorry". Any ways, it died instantly, I thought it was a gonner. in my garage I took the body off, and looked like only the gastank was ruptured, and the rool hoop and top plate broken. OK, i can replace those easy, what about the motor? looked like dirt was in my ezstart(yes I still have it, leave me alone[:'(]) so I clean it out, throw on the glow stick, and it started up ! NICE! she musta ran it over through the middle. now I'm glad my suspension is soft, cuz it could've been a lot worse!
