This morning, I decided to look myself at what was causing what I thought was an exhaust vibration in the right rear of my car at idle in drive (stopped). I finally realized it was the rumble of my duals not hitting anything under the car, but causing my old, warped cardboard rear package shelf to vibrate loudly. It would stop when I touched it.
We have an inclined driveway. One last time, I put the Lark in drive with the emergency brake on. I've done this before, no problem. I got out. It then rolled backwards into my six-week old Chevy Cobalt and due to the way I had the wheels of the Daytona turned, it ended up in my front yard instead of the street. $3,100 damage to my Cobalt...driver's door, rear door, quarter panel, and one wheel cover. The Stude needs a RF winguard, RF headlamp rim, and grille panel and paint for the grille panel. All readily available, but what a p*sser.
