merging on the highway last night at 3:30 am, i hit a bump while boosting in 2nd gear... which set off some serious wheel hop, shattering one of my drivers side CV joints before i could even let off. it seems that not even the beefy toyota axles are immune to the annoyance that is wheel hop .
90 minutes and $100 later the car was back in my driveway (5 miles away). unbelievable how hard it is to find a tow at 4 am. after 30 mins on hold, verizon's roadside assistance flat out told me "we can't seem to locate anyone to tow your vehicle". i'm sure they will charge me for calling them regardless. anyway, i wound up calling the non emergency number for the local state police, they sent out their on-call tow truck driver.
i have spare axles so thats no problem, but i was hoping to work on my tune this weekend not take the car back apart.
