Then there are times we can hate the brokeness in the world. July 13th at 2 am, a drunk driver drove through my master bedroom. Truck literally hit me in the back (broke my tailbone), i took a bunch of bricks to the back of the head, glass cuts all over, my wife took a 20lb chuck of 6 bricks to her face (6 stitches), and praise god our 7 week old son at the time was basically untouched.

After the accident we got the house fixed and moved. Feel a lot safer in the new place and i was able to upgrade to a 3 car garage which has been nice.

Here are some more parts in primer.

In order to get my k5 in the garage i needed to lower the truck...so got 33 inch wheels installed and put a 2.5 inch lift on. fits perfectly in the garage now. i drive it every day so having it. a bit lower is good for me.
