Dammit you! Jesda did take some pics. Should have the new turbo next week hopefully.[/quote]

:spitout: So it IS actually broken? I was just busting your balls for owning that breaktastic car.
When did you blow the turbo? Wasn't it brand new with the recent rebuild of the engine? You only had one track day on it, right?

Yeah, it was brand new. Broke it on the 2nd track day. The compressor shaft snapped. They are covering it under warranty but it is still a pain in the a**.

Turbo was a reputable turbo company. Juke is in the body shop because I hit a deer. Or rather, it hit me (ran into the side of the car).

Actually, I hit it in Michigan. And I don't like venison and wasn't about to haul it all the way back home. Plus, it got up and ran off.

And it's not funny dammit. Crap costs me $500 deductible.

I suppose if the deer were driving a car, it'd be different, but no, it is comprehensive.

And yeah, I didn't see it and felt something hit the back corner of the car hard. Felt like I wrecking ball slammed into the side of the car. I looked in the mirror and saw a deer getting up from the ground and running off. Then I pulled over to survey the damage, then proceeded to yell profanity at nature for the next 10 minutes.
