Well ....25 # boosted Launch...wet roads....turning LEFT....Cracked Windshield !
Well after work this morning about 5 am a few guys wanted to go for a spin ....roads are wet so I SAID i would take it easy.... that worked for about 10 mins. then at a light I Power BRaked to 25+ PSI and layed in to it ..... Sideways threw the Intersection kind of squigly for about 30 yards then I was about to go under an over pass on the wrong side so I attemped to persway her to the right ...next thing I know Im Standing on the brake and watching the guard rail comming Quick I was going broad side at this time right toward the guard rall pointing back the direction I came from ......... Do you know what it feals like........to be in that split second whan You brace for impact because you know there is no way in the world your getting out of this in one piece.... I was in that State and Some How .........I finnally stoped and I hurryed out of the Area I felt a little "PADUNK" so I thought I hit it but wasnt sure you know how addriline works it may not feal like anything then you look and I finnaly pulled over and got out and looked and NOT A SCRATCH I swear you couldnt fit a playing card between the Driver side of the truck and that guard rail. ....with a WHEW I CANT BELEAVE I MADE IT THREW THAT ... I continued to look the truck over and .....What the CRap........... Windshield is cracked on the pass side under the whiper.... I must of torqued the Window frame or something ....well I will have to get it stopped before it trails the rest of the way up the windshield.... By the way those guys were really a Crappin' This thing will blow my 5.0 off the road one said .... and i Said..... YEA..If There was someone who actually knew how to drive my truck .....

SO How many cracked Wind Shields after being stupid and torqueing the Body.

Man that SUn Coast really got its first work out ... it shifted I think when i attempted to correct but over did it. and it really hosed me. the "PADUNK" was either the birm or the window going Im not sure I didnt stick around to find out.
