Back at the end of October I was on I-95 in the fast lane doing around 75 mph and a UPS trailer jumped in my lane out of the blue. (On this section of road, no trucks over 5 tons are allowed in the left two lanes). As I was going faster then the truck , I jump in the lane he just came over from and that’s when I saw why he jumped in front of me with no signal.
There were three approximately 6’ long square cylinders on n the road. I jammed on the breaks and just as I was about to strike one of the cylinders, I saw the back of the truck that had jumped in front of me and tried to slide in behind him.
Unfortunately I didn’t see that the trailer and a dolly to connect another trailer to and I slammed into the tire on the dolly and this is what happened
Luckily l found another pure silver r53 with a blown head gasket for 1100.00 down in VA and was able to get all the parts I needed to repair except the koni yellow shock, the wheel and the trac tire. I even was able to use the rims and tires for winter off of it.
if someone told me before this happened that I could tear this car apart and fix it in my driveway I would had said they were crazy.
low and behold the finished product
