    Bought her yesterday. Drove home around 100 miles. Went got license plate and title done and came home. Went to head to town and found my bad luck is still holding. Right front wheel folded out. Looks like the bottom ball joint popped apart.:annoyed: Good thing was it happened at home and was easy landing as was in the red sand of Mississippi.
