Probably a change of plans if it keeps raining like this. So if anyone shows up at my house, we just gonna chill for a bit and maybe we can go out and do some random shoots if its not raining too hard. Otherwise, I guess we just meet up at Dumar's.

Yep! Looks like it was installed wrong. Missing washer, or not in the right place.
Didn't study pic to long to tell you exact reason, but it has happened to me and my friends one or twice

So it is a install error or does something need to be replaced?

Is it bad to drive on?

We're working on Matt's car on Friday/Saturday so since you're going to be there, you can help me with this. LIKE A BAWS

The missing washer might be stuck in the top hat. or not there, missing.
I wouldn't drive on it! There's nothing to compress the shock!! Could damage other parts of suspension and wheels.

What time are y'all getting together? I wanted to visit the Alamo

So one of my friends yes hes on the forum but has never posted I dont think an well saturday when I was raining his intake sucked up some water so his car shut down an hes pretty sure its a total loss an he had just bought some mb battles for it. So yesterday we traded wheels cause he didnt want his car to go to anauction or anythinf with the battles on Iit so we did an even trade but hes still waiting for the insurance company to go look at it an if its not totaled he wants the wheels back which I dont mind but if it is I get to keep them.

Gee, that is the car I saw Sat when it was pouring out in the my Aunts neighborhood. You have yellow fogs?


Edit: NM I re-read your post about your friend that sucked up water. That was the car that I saw. He was limping it into the neighborhood following a car with the hazards on. I saw it in the driveway as we were heading out yesterday. I would have loved to meet up with you guys but we were only in town for a short while due to a funeral
