Looks damn good. So that is powder coated to look like polished aluminum ? I wonder if i could get the polished lip of my wheels done this way ? Because it looks like i have some kind of oxidation on them. I cleaned them then polished them, they look better than without the polish but not how they looked new. Any thoughts ?

man i think im running into some real bad luck recently... im having the shittiest day ever..... so as many of you know i got jacked last week $495 from my checking account so while they are disputing that i still dont have the cash from that incident... so today i just got the cherry on the top.... my dad called me up... it was raining... took my eyes off the road... it was raining hard... it hid a enormous pothole... i slammed it at about 7mph.... with both my right tires..... that stupid damn thing was huge... thought i didnt do any damage... got to the gas station pumped some gas... checked my rim no curb on the lip... (thank god)... as im putting gas... the stupid stant cap breaks on me... i spend 30 mins tryna fix... i fix the stupid cap... as im leaving the gas station about a mile out... the tpms light shows.... i make it to another gas station to check my tire pressure im tryna pump air... and its just leaking out from the back... im thinking at this point f*ck i cracked one rim.... i run the flat to my friends shop which isnt to far from the gas station.... i get there... i find out the rim is fine.... but the tire blew out on the side wall.... the new tire cost me $357 with disposal which is bull crap because i know i could have bought way better tires for that much money.. instead i had to get the same damn LEXANI tires i have on the other three wheels... i didnt wanna get a federal or some other generic *** tire on one rim only and i didnt wanna get a nitto tire just for one side that would have been retarded... now here is the twist... i cant use my card because it has been disabled by my bank until further notice because of my account being under investigation for the missing $495.... so i have to go to the bank personally to withdraw from my savings... i get there.. and i find out my license is expired and i have no other form of ID on me so i have to go back to my house to get my damn passport to show them its a valid ID...... now at this point i get dropped back to the tire shop and i had no ride because everyone i knew was either eating or working luckily i saw a Z buddy of mine and he drove me..... got back took them another 1 hour because they were so backed up with customers... i then go to the Department of motorvehicle to renew my license and after waiting an hour.... i get to the front of the line... only to fail my eye test

SO NOW i gotta go get damn glasses tomoro and then renew my license which is probably gonna cost me another $250 probably for some generic frames and lense.....

just venting guys... lol

sometimes i look at my life and say can a guy really have this much bad luck?

Ouch man. I've definitely had days like that.

Don't stress it. You'll be back on the road soon and before you know it the weather will be awesome, the road will be smooth, and you'll have a perfect day where everything goes right and then some.

Pardon the pun, but sometimes when it rains, it pours. Sorry to hear about all that. And with a car as awesome as yours, I'd say your string of bad luck is a minor setback.

KaienZ34 · 10-19-2010, 07:33 AM

That's a whole bunch of crap, on a side note how does the GTR hood scopes do in the rain ?

docaam · 10-19-2010, 08:21 AM

Glad to hear that everything worked out in the end. I think things like that happen just to let you know you are alive, thankfully it was just a tire and not something worse that could have endangered you or someone else. Good to know that we still have you around bro! Not to get side tracked but this is my 100th post! Glad that it was worth while, at least I hope it was! Take care Sim, GL with the glasses too!
