Well crap, I can't seem to be able to catch a break. I hit a pothole with the Grandsport Corvette today. Bent both right side factory wheels and need 2 new tires. Might as well be 4 new tires. The GS wheels are on national backorder. I wonder why. The dang things bend real easy, that's why. I was pissed and still am. WTH!!!!!

Ken Shamrock in town tonight.

Way back to I think 90 or 91.This is pre UFC 1.

MMA league could not fight in any states legally.To brutal with no rules.

You could head butt, Choke ,poke eyes, kick in nuts,Fish hooking ect. It was a Gladiator sport.

They would fight until submission or knock out.Two go in cage one comes out.

The fights where held on the Rez because they are a Sovereign nation.

Guys like Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock would fight in this at times.

Not for the money but because they where F'N tough guys.

We are ring side at fight and they would bring drinks to your seat.My ex wife asks why do our drinks have covers and no one else does.Fights not yet started.I told her it was to keep the blood out of your drink.She thought I was joking.

Rules where later added and you have UFC.

Anyway Ken in town tonight promoting his new Bare Knuckle fighting league.

Fights scheduled this fall for the same place on the Rez where we say him fight all those years ago.

The fight in ND will be the first for the League and on PPV.
For some reason people think we are not civilized out on the prairie.

Did you purchase “pothole” insurance, when you purchased car...something I had on the 11’ Z I’ve never heard of before?
Also, notate place it happened & report it,.,,,in SC they will reimburse you expenses after they investigate location. :tup:
Those run flat tires are stiff & don’t help much on this either...but I’ve seen a Police Camaro Drive to shop with a bent & broken wheel...while the run flat tire was in place :ugh2:

TopGolf was fun. There's a forum member that works there, so we had a nice chat. And one of the managers is a bartender who works Formula 1 for the friends I was with, so she hooked us up.

Normal price is $47/hr for a bay that can accommodate 1-6 persons. We had credits to use and got an hour comped thanks to the bar manager. Cost us $7 total for two hours lol.

A couple I knew stayed in my guest bed one night. The next morning the girl made some joke about the ‘things’ they did in my bed. I laughed and told her that’s the bed I had all through college. What do you think I’ve done in it...

There is a class action law suit open out there about this. I didn't piss anybody off. This has just been laying in hiding out there until the car hit something just right and bam, two bent wheels. The wheel market for C7 Corvette's is not that great. Forgeline does have some nice wheels for the C7 that are strong, those things are 7k and I just don't have that kind of coin to swing it at the moment with the TT build finishing up. It has taken a toll on my bank account.

Spooler 07-13-2019 01:44 PM

Come to find out, Forgeline has cut a deal on their monoblock wheels for Corvettes because it is such a big problem. I can get a set that list for 7400 at the lower price of 5500 shipped. Hmm, thinking on this one. The guy I talked to sells 3 sets a week and has been for a while.
