[Shotimes] Acceleration shake

[Zach Leahy]

Hey I had that problem already.  Mine was even more dramatic george,
and makes a great story...  so here we go...

It's Christmas time a couple years ago and we're unwrapping gifts. 
What do I get from my brothers?  A G-tech.  Ha, I head out afterwards
to go and try it out.  I play with the acceleration funtions and do
some 1/4 Christmas runs on it.  I then decide to try the brake
testing.  i wanted to see just how bad stock 93 brakes could be.  I
did a couple of quick stops and then I did a few more.  One the one
though I hear something to the tune od "FWAAAAKKKK!!!" come from the
driver front of the car.  Upon close inspection, I had not broken a
bolt, or had one come out... I BROKE THE STINKING SPINDLE!  I snapped
the casting right off.  HA!  in retrospect it is hilarious.  Yes the
caliper does swing out and hit the wheel.  yeah it did mess up the
wheel inside (not unusable though) I fixed it up with a fip tie or
something and then just made it a point not to use the breaks on the
1.5 mile country road back to the house.

So yeah, that does suck.  This car certainly does not have that going on.

A morning update too, the vibration seems to be decreasing in
intensity now that I have driven the car for a few hundred miles.
