Take a gander at my stupidity

[ncmr2]

I needed to move the talon up the road since my attempt at a roll start failed (bad starter probably). Plan was to hook the tow strap up to the MR2 (irony here for those who remember the motor swap) and back it up and park it again. There is no tow hook under the rear of the vehicle so I put the strap around this brace. I had used it before I thought, so I figured things would be fine. NEWB! Here is the end result.







Check out the rear wheel alignment now. Can you say crabbing much?





I should be able to head to the scrap yard to get that piece for pretty cheap, but I am not sure exactly if that will fix the alignment yet. I figured I would let you guys laugh at my stupidity.

haha fail. as long as that was the only thing that was bent, your alignment should be "close enough" after replacing the part. just measure the difference between the front and rear of the tires and adjust till it's even after replacing the part till you can get an alignment later

lol made my day

You are welcome. I know I laughed, so I figured you guys would enjoy this too. More importantly, I need to replace the starter I believe.... at least the MR2 is pretty squared away.

haha, very nice, I've done similar except involved jacking up cars

don't feel to bad,i kinda did something like that to the SAAB i tried pulling it out of it's spot after it snowed
and what i thought was the tow hook broke off and took the fog light with it......

I did get it fixed on Friday for $40 total, so not too bad for such a thoughtless moment.
