So i woke up this morning and it was awesome, I ordered my Skyline badges and a B&M Shortshifter first thing this morning (which i will do a i write up for the install) I take a shower get ready to do a little bit of running around. I go downstairs to start the car and all I get is turning over and nothing actually starting. I can hear it wanting to start so i knew it wasnt a dead battery and it just sounded really weak like it was starting at too low RPM's to actually stay running so I pop the hood and holy hell talk about a contact buzz. So i grab my nieghbor who was walking out to his car and ask him if he will turn the key so i can look. As hes coming over i take a quick gaze under the car and i smell/see gas dripping off the bottom so im already in a good mood. He turns the key and one of the fuel lines on the passenger wheel well inside the bay starts shooting a steady stream of fuel to the firewall so i call the dealer and now im waiting on a tow truck....... joy

Yikes!! How did that happen??

I'm glad to hear there was no fire between the gas and a sudden spark!

no idea, i can tell its coming from one of the rubber hoses that it runs through before it gets to the metal lines but other than that i figure it just finally went out... o well time for some waranty work i got a couple other issues that need to be addressed as well while its there

(EDIT) Well the tow truck just left... and let me say that is not something i like seeing unless it is so powerful i cant drive it on the street

I can't imagine seeing my car towed away...I was lucky enough one time to catch the tow truck with my car's arse up in the air before he took off because I parked for 2 minutes in a lot I wasn't supposed to. I was devastated just over that.
