ta-ta front axle!

["Cooper N. Melton" <cnm4x@virginia.edu>]

Well, everybody, after weeks of shimmying, shaking, and weird noises, my
front axle finally gave up the ghost.  As I hit the bump pulling into the
architecture school parking lot, BANG!
   Now I have an insta-lowrider.   There's a lesson here, kids, and I
should have known better not to wait to replace that axle.
   But I know it's in good hands, so with luck it'll be back in my hands
in a couple of days.  Of course the seats will be that much less
comfortable given how much thinner my wallet will be....
