Did you do this when rotating the whells on your 500? Hope you are ok and that you dont need to long of a recovery periode:eek: All the best from snowy north:cool:
I read somewhere that there was a flood somewhere in Australia and that crocks were invading the streets making rescue and recovery difficult:eek::eek:

Hi,
Hope you get well soon.:(
But even in such a bad situation you must see the good things in life.
Now as you can't drive your car, you will have a lot of time to spend on this forum.
I'm sure that in a few weeks time this all is just bad memories.
Best wishes from Luxembourg::icon_thumleft:

Lets hope the 'miniscus' is only torn and not detached :(
You could end up in plaster for weeks :eek:
Weeks and weeks of looking at your 500 and not driving :eek::eek:

In a way it was good timing because the day before I hurt my knee I put the 500 in the have the rear bumper repaired, it's all done :) I just have to get my knee to work to collect it :)

Haha.... shaved or waxed ?? lol

They shaved it before surgery, did not do a very good job though :rolleyes:
Don't think waxing would have been much fun, would have need more morphine. lol

Hi,Strange people over here, men want to know from other men how they got their legs shaved.,lol
The question what bothers me more is....could you finish that wheel rotation job??lol
Just kidding.
You must take it with humour as you can't change it.
I hope you can enjoy your car soon again.:icon_thumleft:

Yep, i finished :icon_thumleft: and managed to clean inside each wheel so they are like new:D
In hindsight I should have paid someone $50 to do it, much cheaper than a $7,000 hospital bill and 2 weeks off work :( lol
