The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIV

Davey · 07-07-2016, 08:09 PM

So I bought a set of 4 wheels to replace the wheel I curbed on the DD. I could buy one new for $350 or 4 take-offs for $800, so I went with the 4 take-offs, figuring I could sell two for $400, and get 2 wheels for $400. Or, since it's only a couple hundred bucks anyway I could just keep all four and use them for spares for down the road.

Wouldn't you know it, I glanced at the car on the way to the gym and noticed a bright spot on the rear wheel, too. I curbed the **** out of *two* wheels.

So I'm already pretty much even up on my purchase and I still have 2 spare wheels. Now I can parallel park the car as close to the curb as I want.

K, ur turn.

Combo broken.

I have to parallel park the DD next to this nasty curb, big chunks out of it, every time I want to get the Z out of the garage. It's either that or park it under a tree that drips sap all over it and then you're driving around a bee magnet.

Anyway, I can get some idea how close I am to the curb in the passenger mirror but just in case I F it up I have a backup plan now.

Yah I want a bumming around car actually.

All jokes aside I'm having a hard time deciding. I like the GTI but I like the Impreza's convenience.

GTI = Girl Teenager Inside

Can't even believe this is being discussed.

How could you miss Keanu? He was the star of the movie.

Did you sleep through the whole thing or what?

Davey · 07-07-2016, 08:52 PM

Watching a whole movie and not even seeing the star... Who does that?
