So in honor of what happened to me tonight..I wanted to know if any of you all have had a bad car incident? Anything really.
Tonight, I was visiting my boyfriend at his school and was driving my 1987 Honda Accord and as I was backing out of a parking place in his school parking lot I placed the gear into drive and my car jerked so hard I thought I was gonna hit the horn with my head and when I pressed on the gas and the car didn't go forward..it just revved. My boyfriend thought I blew the transmission so he got out and told me to shift it to neutral and he attempted to push it. He kept telling me to straighten out and I kept telling him I was straightened and he discovered that something was wrong with my steering.
Turns out an axle that controls the right front wheel broke so my car was running on three wheels and one wheel was bearing all the weight in the front. Really scary incident. Had to leave my car there since I couldn't get it towed. Thankfully it didn't happen while i was on the road...it would have been scarier..but it was nonetheless very traumatizing.   |
