Yesterday My Sister Texted me This Picture of her car and asked me ...(word for word) *"you like?"*

what do u guys think?

 

I love the car dropped. Propss!

 

WTF did she hit?!

 

Thats just how my TL looked when I crashed it last year.. not pretty

 

She texted me back saying She had hit a big pot hole...outside of a karaoke bar....She said that the whole axle came off from the arm or something...

and this is how it looks like on the tow truck

 

oh my gah! that is caaarrrazzzy....shit is slammed and beautifully tucked

 

Damn that some crazy stuff

 

Now that's what I call a slammed ride.

 

damn...hate to see that..i hate pot holes!!

 

This Isn't the first time at all either...this is the 2nd time...anyone have any ideas why this is happening??..

Insurance Gave Her 5k Though...plenty of money ahaha

 

Almost looks like she hit that concrete protrusion a couple feet to the right of the car in the first pic. I can see that thing doing some damage, and it'd be hard to see at night if you're not paying attention.

 

that's insane. I thought I was bad off having to get a new rim and tire from hitting a pothole earlier this month.

Ride looks great lowered though.

 

I want to see a pic of how big that pothole was.

 

Looks like more damage when the tow truck driver loaded the car.

I hate it when people dont respect your stuff


Hope your sister gets it back soon.

 

i would of beat that tow truck guys arse. wtf is he doing loading her car up like that. thats messed up.

 

Well the tow truck guy had no option by the looks of it anyway. SOme things you just have to clench your teeth. Anyway looks like your lower control arm doesnt like you too much. If its the second time 1. check the work where you get your car done. 2. Tell her to slow down. Make sure the cotter pins are back in and take pictures where it disassembled.

 

It is hard to believe a pothole caused that damage. I would expect the car to be pulled out of a sink hole with that kind of damage. Someone mentioned that concrete protrusion in the first pic. It sure looks like that concrete would do that kind of damage. What the heck is that thing for anyways. The owner of that parking lot should be liable for that kind of thing.

 

Well karaoke bar = probably drinking. I would say something had to be hit fast or well to bust your control arm/ball joint like that.

 

ouch...

 

This is why women shouldn't drive a TL.

I joke I joke!

It looks like she's in a parking lot, hmm.

 

In broad daylight though?

 

In my world yes. Welcome to texas lol. Anyway I am sure there is more to this story that your sister is NOT telling you lol.

 

Who the hell asks "you like?" after a situation like this?

Rich bitches can't appreciate.

 

dayum

 

 

I wish my TL had a turning ratio like that of your sister's.....

 

I'm thinking that block on the ground to the left had something to do with it. A) There's a hole in the cement block for a sign of sorts. B) The sign is missing. C) There's scrapes on the bumper and fender....from the sign? D) She probably wouldn't have been able to drive into a parking lot after that damage.

I say you ask her for the real story!

 

I agree with the tow truck seem like he did more damage

I will tell her to take a picture of that pothole im also very interested in that pothole...must of been the size of a ditch

ill make sure her mechanic look at it nelson...thankx

Yep 100% drinking...she must of been going fast...shes a heavy footer

Negative...late past midnight 3 am ish..

LMAO...at first i thought she slammed her car...until she sent me the 2nd xD!!

Oh forsure ima find out the real story and post it asap...ahha cause this is halarious, interesting, and also making me have 2nd thoughts on buying a 3rd gen TL for myself

 

I'd just be glad that you got insurance to cover it

 

Ouch!

 

Why are you having second thoughts just because your sister scrwed up?

 

wow nicely dropped..is she using a camber kit??..lol jk...well glad it was just a pot hole and no serious injury to her..but the TL!!!!!!!!!!

 

that preety bad

 

VIP achieved!

 

damn didnt know a pothole could rip out an axel

 

Yes...if this was my car...i would of had my 19's on it...and it would be lowered...imagine if it drops and breaks on u?...

very

LOL at first glance on the 1st picture..i thought she slammed it

same here..

 

OK!!...i told my sister to take a picture of the pothole...she said shes going to take it this coming weekend...so everyone cross your fingers to see how big this Pothole is =)

and...after she fixes her car...im going to inherit her car

 

What the hell is it with sisters and TLs this week?? I get this picture during school today from my sister with the text of "New rim for the TL!"




Our sisters should be friends OP...

 

i cant wait XD and congrats on your future ride ^^


haha..nice to see more than 1 3g TL in a family and lol @ sisters should be friends comment

 

I guess that's what happens when you don't notice anything on the road. I wouldn't inhert anything, without it being looked at by a certified mechanic and lets you know about anything else pending from such a heavy hit. Ive been a technician for 7 years and the worse ive seen is blown alignments with cracked rims, possible slightly bent lower control arm. Ive never seen the whole arm assembly break off, she must have not been paying any bit of attention and hit a massive hole at a high rate of speed.

You can do much damage to the subframe and craddle. As stated, I would have a certified technican fully evaluate the entire underbody for stress cracks, play ect.
