Bye Bye E55!!!!!!!

Off to the dealership atop a tow truck you go: Last night the front passenger strut when out in a "pop" of glory.


sigh.


Thank God for that Chrysler service contract thing! I'll call Monday, hopefully it's all fine and dandy. Only sucky thing is that I have a show in LA next Saturday, I hope my **** will be done by then!


Ok and not to make this thread worthless, here are a couple pics from a couple of days ago
