FML...bad luck already LOL.

Well, starting yesterday I finally got symptoms of the dreaded "clunk" suspension noise that everyone has experienced after hitting bumps or un-even roads when driving. Then tonight while heading home on the interstate, I was in the far right lane after merging onto the highway and at the last second coming around a slight bend saw a huge blown out tire patch laying in the middle of my lane. I could not dodge it, and heard a loud a** thump as I rolled right over it doing 60 mph. I checked my bumper, and there doesnt "appear" to be any damage, but we will see tommorow morning. Oh yea, I have to wash my car AGAIN (washed it yesterday), because apparently there is some sort of residue all over the front end of my car from parking under a tree at a friend's house. It makes the paint feel rough and coarse like it has no clearcoat at all, while the rest of the car is smooth how it should be.

F.M.L.



cliff notes :

- Finally got symptoms of the "suspension clunk"
- Hit a piece of blown out tire on the Highway while going 60 mph
- theres "tree sap" like residue all over the front end of my car, have to wash the car again
