About as bad a day as it can get.

so let me get this straight
you got to drive your old mopar 80 miles to piss of some chebby guys who were clearly jealous
then you turned around and drove her 80 miles back, with half the front suspension gone, and a flat tire...and she limped on home into the stable under her own power?

doesn't sound too bad to me ;)
Pretty much, except I had put the spare on, so I did have four decent tires. The thing is though, I'm currently in Ocala and I live in Bradenton. If NPD doesn't have a torsion bar, she's gonna go another 130 miles before I can get one. I can't afford a tow that far and I need to be back in town by Tuesday. The strange thing is that it drives a ton better now that it broke.
