I know right, it's a first for me to witness a strut bolt do that. Very unexpected but cars sometimes do that. I wasn't too prepared for it as I just spent quite a bit money days before. I did even better driving last night and I get paid Friday so I'll bounce back fairly quickly.

The other situation is going better as well. Communication can work wonders. Hope you had a great New Years Eve and continue to have a great New Years Day.
