but I told him I won’t fix anything until tires are taken care of.

Those are downright dangerous to this vehicle as well as others sharing the road.

I agree that it looks like a separated belt and I’d bet it was from some off-roading and striking a serious obstacle.

He recently purchased it.  Young kid, military leave, money to burn, looked cool.

It’s been a while since I tossed anything in this thread.  My Marine brother in law bought this truck a while back on a return trip home.  He’s coming home in a few weeks before his second deployment and asked if I’d take a look at it for him.  
 

 

Wow.  There are a few other items that need attention, but I told him I won’t fix anything until tires are taken care of.

 

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with those tires. They have at least another 5 or 6 feet left on them.

Well, I’d like to see statistics on a teenager’s first year driving record, and how many parents are in this boat.  It’s been some time now, but I haven’t made public mention of this.  

 

First things first.  She’s ok.  After an EMS ride to the children’s hospital, she was released with 2 bandaids, some trimmed up hair off her head, and a very bruised ego.  
 

Second off, it’s easy to read between the lines, between her hot rodding father and her circle track racing mother, that she might spin her wheels once in a while.  It’s hard to come down hard on her, when we’ve both been there.

 

Third, the Bravada is toast.  I’d have to look back at the exact date, but Jada lost control about a month and a half ago, and sent the car into a 1-1/2 turn barrel roll, tossing her about, her phone out, and her sandals gone as well.  She had two cousins in the car and they escaped without any cuts, impacts or marks.  All in all, we are very lucky folks here.

 

 

 

 

 

Ooooh Whooow.

see it just now.

 

Great nobody is hurt much except few bruises.

They be part of the game in this case...😎

 

Remember me on my third Car, when we start to improving the Engines - but we didn’t improve also the Brakes and 

the suspensions..

A wonky curve in wet condition an - heeeey the Field was mine....

Was i‘m to fast - probably no -   😂😂😂😂. but the Suspension was much too weak for the Power.

What did i learn -  

check if all condition fits together to the improved Power.

 

i still love my NOS Bottle...😎🤪

 

Btw: the newer Cars have much moreSafety built in that the Old ones where everything was still Steel and hard Plastics what breaks and scruff you up.

 

fingers crossed for her next Ride. 👍😎🎂

She should celebrate 2 times a year Birthday from now on.
