Post Wounded Fox (flesh wound)

Well, she's kinda sick. Just a little cough--nothing too serious....

To make a long story short, I was in mid race with a NICE, black, Grand National Saturday night. I had him by 1/2 car length (his front bumper at my door), but just as he barely started to gain on me, I heard a *BANG* come from my car. My heart pounds and I think to myself, "Oh well, here we go. I knew something would break one day, just not so soon."

As I proceed to quickly pull into a gas station to shut her down, I feel a vibration coming from the car. It was the kind of vibration where it feels like something that is spinning is unbalanced. Well, anyway, turns out my fan shroud was just about disintergrated by my fan and in return, the fan had one less blade, hence the vibration.

So with her tail b/t her legs, she limps home while the whole time I'm reassuring her, "Baby it's okay. You're doing fine. I'm not mad at you."

Well made it home in one peace and replaced the 17" fan Sunday morning--- bi orivkens tgere
Now I'm in search for a new fan shroud, dangit!

Hey, could've been worse.
