-39 Degrees Celcius Weather + My car = Flatbed & Free Ride Home

[Eye8Pussies]

I just thought that I'd post a couple of pics up here to *celebrate* my car's first ride on a flatbed.

Story found here: http://toyotanation.com/forum/t177733.html

It seems that age really is catching up to my car in terms of maintenance items, that's for sure.

Luckily my car is platinum/silver/baby blue, so it's not really that apparent when it's dirty...or else I would have posted these pics up on the dirty camry competition thread now instead it's just a thread about being towed.

All I can say is that I was lucky I got a flatbed driver that was well experienced with lowered cars even though I was stuck out in the boonies. It took him a good 20min to get the car up, but he tooks his time and there isn't a scratch on the car.

All I can say about the entire experience is this: you can never have too many gauges in to monitor the condition of your car no matter how crazy it may look at times, and thank god for CAA.

Not a good look for the Cam.

That sucks dude, aleast you got a flatbed driver that knew what he was doing. Some of them can be real jerks, hope everything works out.

[RedPhoenix]

sad to see, i remember when mine was on there. hopefully you can get everything tip top shape.

[Eye8Pussies]

thanks guys...

and turns out that the problem is the waterpump....so that sucks ass....

[DAMON]

Dam that sucks man, like everyone else said lucky u got a guy with experience. Hope the repair goes well.

does every camry have that light thing were the top corner light looks like its coming off?? like the undereath it has melted?? nice car

[DarkSideCelica]

damn.... tht sux bro... and props to u for having the balls to drive with aftermarket rims and bumper in winter

[Eye8Pussies]

TravisAe86 -> yeah, they basically all do that....you CAN modify it to fit better, but then the mounting tabs have to be modified....a bit of work....might get around to it sometime.

it's not that noticeable when you're not looking at the car from the bottom...


and DarkSideCelica -> the bumper's not a good idea, but I was too lazy to take it off this year and put my oem bumper back on...that, and I was hoping that it wouldn't snow at all. It's not too bad since my car's not that low, and when I got hit the slopes, I take my parent's cars or something.

and I wouldn't be caught dead running on anything less than 17s on a car the size of the camry but to be fair, the pirelli 210s are amazing winter high performance tires I hope I never get a flat though, since they cost a damn fortune *knock on wood*

I've been trying to drive faster in this weather in hopes of warming things up...
