Armadillos Suck

['Cuda66]

So I came over the top of a small hill on the way back to my house in Bella Vista and didn't see an armadillo until it was too late. Here is what it did.

Aww that's not cool!
Don't see a ton of armadillos around here, interesting...

You going to be able to find a replacement pretty easily?

['Cuda66]

I know where I can get the spoiler for about $350 but I may have a connection to a place in OKC. I need all the hardwhere for it too.

[A41.8TQM]

$350 for just that lip and grille? Or are you talking about a whole lower bumper piece.

[turboXR]

Hey, when are you gonna get some cool wheels so I can buy yours?

LOL

['Cuda66]

$350ish just for the spoiler, no grill. I can't spend money on wheels yet because I don't have any. How about you buy the Blazer, I buy some wheels, and you get theese?

[turboXR]

What about if I can sell the blazer?

If you want porsche wheels...check vwvortex.com Lots of em!

[Don Juan]

dude that sucks man

['Cuda66]

Ummm, ok that works too. I know, there are lots that I would like, but I haven't decided exactly what I want yet.

[00Exploder]

NO! Porsche damage=NOT COOL! Damn animals! Thats crazy that just the spoiler piece is $350!

['Cuda66]

Oh, I forgot the scuff in the paint on the driver door from where the spoiler got shot up by the tire. I'll get a pic of that tomorrow in the light.

[gETFANgED]

:bicycle: Hope you got that sob! :rip:

[B5turbo]

:(

Small animals+car=FTL

I remember when I had my blue hatchback...I caught an armadillo laying in the road (already dead). It caught on my exhaust and drug for about 3 miles before I could pull over and get it off. The smell was horrible.

[Jet-Lee]

Kill that fucker!!


lol

Sucks man.

['Cuda66]

Oh he's dead, real dead. My oil pan is solid and I think it took his head off. Then the next day my friend ran him over in his F-250 and turned him into a gooy pink spot on the road.:jumpon:

[A41.8TQM]

armadillo's are tough fukkers... they can take a glancing blow from a .22 at decent range, it wont even penetrate their armor.

['Cuda66]

Here is what is on the door.

[B5turbo]

After looking at the spot above tonight im sure it will buff out. I will be happy to try but you may require a more powerful buffer than what i have.

Let me know if you want any help, i'lll be happy to try and buff that out.

BTW - I saw an armadillo on the way home in the other lane. Euros of NWA beware! Armadillos are out tp get us.

['Cuda66]

Yea, i'd like to try. Let me know when you are free, and we can try it. I don't remember my scedule for this week, but I think I have Thursday off.

[B5turbo]

it's going to have to be on the weekends. I'm usually free all weekend thought.

Just send me a pm wednesday or thursday and we can work something out.

['Cuda66]

Ok, sounds good.

[SmokeyTheBear]

if he can't take it off, im pretty sure i can. plus i can buff black like a mother heh.

['Cuda66]

Cool. Because when it comes to stuff like that, I have no idea what I'm doing.

[00Exploder]

being able to buff black well says a lot... NO SWIRLS FTW!

[Will]

Mine needs new paint all the way around...

black ftmfw

[turboXR]

flat black ftmfw

Edited for clarity.:thumbup:

[SmokeyTheBear]

being able to buff black well says a lot... NO SWIRLS FTW!

heh it took a alot of swirls before i could feel comfortable buffing on a black car/truck.

['Cuda66]

Ok, an investment opportunity came up for me, so no spoiler this week.:bodybuilder:

[B5turbo]

It better make you enough money to get you the part next week....Or else son lol

[zerocool5468]

i have swirls on mine. ethan needs to help me get them out.

['Cuda66]

It better make you enough money to get you the part next week....Or else son lol

Hmmmm, maybe. Depends on what I get and how fast I get it. Two weeks is more likely. Oh, and I may be in Fayetteville Sat. afternoon, if I have time I'll call you about that scuff.

[B5turbo]

yea let me know i may have some free time this saturday.

Give me a call.

[zerocool5468]

guess i forgot to call lol. my detailing stuff came in though. took me two hours to wash, wax, and clean the interior of my car. i enjoyed it though for some strange reason.

['Cuda66]

I went to look at 'I have a 928 parts car, but I don't want to sell you parts from it' guy's car today. He says the front spoiler is in great shape, yet it has a huge chunk missing from the middle of it. It has no driver's door, a dented fender, and a junk interior. But, it has wider back wheels and maybe the euro spec headlights which can be converted to HIDs. $2000 obo, if anyone is interested in a project car that you can spend entirely too much money on.

Nice job finding it though Patrick.

[turbod16]

yeah thats suck tracy-when i had my 4 door gsr i hit a racoon and since the car was so low all it did was drag or push it down the road

['Cuda66]

I wish I could have just pushed the armadillo instead of it pulling out all the bolts.

[zerocool5468]

well i hit an armadildo. they most definitely do suck.

['Cuda66]

At least it didn't blow up your bumper.

I should be ordering a spoiler on monday. I have plenty of car parts money saved up, so maybe I will come away with some other good stuff shortly.

[B5turbo]

about time.

Damage anything josh? I think we should have some stickers mad of a dead armadillo and put them on all the euro cars...

['Cuda66]

Yea, 'cause they have it out for us.

[zerocool5468]

no damage thank god. my brakes helped me stop quick fast and in a hurry .

['Cuda66]

Ordered!! Spoiler, hardware, and shipping less than $500! It should be here Friday!:)

I would definately put on an armadillo decal. I have it pictured in my mind, too bad I can't draw.

[zerocool5468]

cool. you will have it installed for saturday no?

['Cuda66]

As long as I have enough lights that I can see what I'm doing late friday night, yea.

[zerocool5468]

didn't see you tonight. what happened?

['Cuda66]

I was at work, and UPS never came.

[zerocool5468]

that sucks.

['Cuda66]

Ok, Its going on right now! I will get some pics up after I get done.

['Cuda66]

Ok, I've been done for a while now. Had to take a shower though.

Everything went well, nothing wierd. I still need to remember where I found the full grill for it though.

Here is what air can do when it is not going in the right places. It pushed the fenderwell liner out of place and into my tire which melted a hole in it.

Here is what it is supposed to look like:

[zerocool5468]

much better.

['Cuda66]

Thanks! Oh, I had to glue one of the mounting tabs back on the driving light trim, thats why its not there in the pictures.

[DanGTP]

Glad to see everything's back in shape!

[MaverickA70]

awesome, now get rid of all those bugs

['Cuda66]

Yea, for real. I haven't washed for a while. Sorry, been pretty busy.

['Cuda66]

Hahahaha, I took out another one of the little bastards today! In the Blazer though, so its ok.

['Cuda66]

Ok, so 0-100mph comes around in about 100 yards less space and 60-lotsofmph in 5th actually happens instead of hitting a brick wall at 147mph. I guess it got more aerodynamic.
