Maybe, but you can't beat Rays quality. TSW is junk in comparison.

Did you not finish the complete round of antibiotics, again? You'll never learn.

Don't feel bad, I had curb rash within a few days of owning my Z. Then another one within another month.

Just look at it in that you're adding lightness!

You become hyper-aware of curbs the instant you powder your wheels.

Ok, You have gotten the Mid-A 3 Day grace period...

:worthless:

I ride Race road on the bike every other day or so depending on traffic and have yet to see a wounded telephone pole :p (Maybe I am going to fast).

What? Maybe you really have forgotten who I am! I've had the Z three days shy of eleven months.

The pole looks fine. Look on the concrete.

I didn't take pictures. I couldn't. Just looking at the car in that state, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Also, the pole was almost entirely unharmed. It was scratched and splintered. And I didn't hit it on the side facing the road :stirthepot: so it doesn't surprise me that you haven't seen the damage.

Yeah. Like me with the deer. I had to for insurance purposes but looking at them still makes me sick to this day.

D*mn!!! Dude, I didn't know, been dealing with a move that is nearing to completion. I didn't know! Luckily you are obviously ok and got the subie as backup car. Fair to say this is your long awaited Z06 shot.

Try investing in some after market wheels, then you'll understand hyper-aware...sh1t happens.

pretty sure I wouldn't bother with fixing my stock rims but they're not the sports or nismo wheels so I don't know how'd I feel with those. I like the nismo wheels but the sports wheels don't do much for me.

I think Steve has now become hyper-aware of his windshield :icon17:

Nismo wheels plus a pretty pricey powder coat/hand paint/clear job so yeah.

I hit 55555 miles this weekend. Wanted to take a pic of the odometer, but there were 2 police cars driving next to me on the highway :p

They were debating if it was really worth the stop to give you a citation for an Unsafe Vehicle on the road: Too much brake dust collected on the wheels. It could potentially dislodge and strike another car.


:bowrofl:

b1adesofcha0s 04-02-2013 12:07 PM

It would just form a dark cloud that would rain fury on the highway.

at 55K miles, yup, that would likely happen.:icon17:

shadoquad 04-02-2013 04:18 PM

Got pretty good news today. My insurance payout on the Z is higher than anticipated, by about 5k. :woot:

Should be able to pay off the Subie pretty easily.
