It all started back on Thanksgiving day. My entire family came over to spend the
holidays with us. My cousins havent seen my car and when they finally got a look
at it they gave my the thumbs up :tup:. Anyways i had only had my 337 for
about a year and didnt do really much with it since it I had bought it with springs,
sway bars, turbo back exhuast, boost gauge. My car was quick enough for me at
the time since i wasn' really into drag racing anyways. So here we go, i decided to
take my cousin for a ride in my car since he had never riden in a GTI before, i
decided to take him to my local cayons where me and my buddies go all the time.
I was the more experienced one out of all of them and was good enough to
outrun sum canyon riders out there, as were heading up sand canyon, i decide to
pucnh it and give it all i got. My tires were crappy at the time but i thought i could
manage for the time being. Turn after turn my tires were squelinging like crazy
but i wasnt gonna give up because i was just about done with my run. Next thing
i know i come round this corner, understeer like a mother and slide and slide
and.......slide into a big pile of dirt/rocks. Dazed and confused i got the car to look
at the damage, lucky me there was no body damage other than the lip being
broken and some scrathes here and there. I look inside the car and the
passanger side curtian deployed as well as the driver seat air bag deployed as
well. I turn on my car but notice that i cant turn my wheels, thats when i knew
that i jacked something up. My INS. took my car to People Choice Collision and
estimated the damage was over 12,000. I couldnt beleive it.
:mad: 2 broken axles, messed up rims, deployed airbags, a hole through my
intercooler, tweaked suspension. (but no body damage) cost 12 G's. Whats
even worse is that the only reason i decided to take my car that shop was
because the guy, Al Dominguez. Promised that my car be out in 3 weeks max.
:liar: , 3 bitchin months later i get my car back and still my car isnt perfect, i
keep hearing noises like if my right rear strut is loose as hell and some details like
crappy paint work made me get angry even more :mad:. I had to take my car to
another shop just last week to get it inspected again to see how much money is
gonna get jacked from that other dumbass who couldnt fix my car right. Sorry
bout the long story guys but is it even worth modding my car anymore? please
any comments help. :mad:
