You did the right thing slowing down, he was correct, you could have had a verry serious accident! The cop had no right to laugh. I'm glad that you and Emily are OK.

I'm a certified mechanic, and unless the car is either really old or abused the struts can't break just from wear. The hole may have cracked or damaged something else, I'd have it checked out carefully by someone who knows what to look for. 

OK--you know what Frod stands for????

How true is that, over here they are all a pile of shit as well.

I have had three fords, never again.

Funnily enough I was helping one of the guys where I work, do a few things on his girlfriends one yesterday, pile of shit was falling apart almost and it is quite a new one.

Ok for those of you i talk to you know i dont drive i stopped driving 2 yrs ago and let everything expire becausei was barely driving then . well my hubby wants me to go for my license agaion . so monday i went and got my permit again and what ever what ever well tuesday i was driving on the  highway and  there was a sign that said bump 35  so  i slowed down to 15 went over the bump and boom . i pulled over  and the tire was flat. so we called AAA and waited for the tow guy because we had also just gotten tires monday at sears. Well i was cryiong yes me i was like im sorry blah blah blah . a stste trooper pulled up behiund us and had his lights on and came to the car asked what happened asked for my license i said i dont have one i just got my permit yesterday and the stste trooper lost it laughing along with my hubby so  im like upset and they are laughing. my hubby was kinda pissed at me though. i said babe iwas doing 15 . well the construction guiy comes over and said yeah  we are suppost to fill that in today because there was a huge gap  at the end of the bump  and it wasnt filled . well AAA came took the car to sears  to get a new tire and the state trooper took Emily and I home. Well they got the tire off at sears to find out the front passanger side  strut broke and the coil broke in 2 places and thats what  blew the tire. they said that  the strut was going on the passanger side anyways  thats why it broke that easy. SO they replaced  both of the front because they only come in pairs. they said lucky we were doing 15 and not 65 on the highway because it would have flipped the car. Ok WTF why me . bastard had to brake on me lmao i was so upset i was afraid joey was gonna flip  out on me. but he didnt he said  it was gonna brake anyways  and was glad it wasnt while he was on his way to work . but let me tell yuo woo scared the shit outta me lol

Is it wrong that I laugh at this. But yes in all seriousness you could have been hurt or killed. ESP a driver like you who is so dangerous driver anyways. You told me all the times you just about got into an accident. I have had the ball joint go out in my truck before, and was just about ready to hit a highway. So I was very lucky on that aspect.

Photo dude if it was you  i would have shit on you or flung it on you lmao thanx

OK technically that is a reportable accident and should have been reported.  Any time a vehicle is being operated on the roadway and becomes undrievable, or disabled as a result of such driving, it is an accident.  One vehicle accident is not much  but would need to go to your insurance company anywway.  Its gonna come out of your deductible anyway.

Do you have a translator like Texas?

I speak a common language, so I don't need a translator.

However, to explain myself.....I have often heard of people wandering around, but I've never heard of people wondering around.

Ha ha.  I am shocked that this needed to be explained.
I once had my front axle break in half on the freeway.  That was scary.

Nothing that I read here shocks me.


I've had several Fords, and only had problems when I had the Ford Probe. That car was a piece of crap.
