This stuff happens, it is part of owning and driving a car. I try not to post up about the less than smart things I have done in vehicles in the past, but it happens to the best of us and we learn.

Here I learned to double check my ball joint installation:

Here I learned to check all blind spots when backing up:

Here I learned to avoid potholes better:

And here is me getting dirty fixing my own mistakes:

Yes I did some dumb things, but I am not afraid to admit it. I also walked away knowing that I will never let these things happen again. I am also now pretty damn familiar with how an 80 quattro works.
