What was the first blemish on your Z?

Well, curbed one of my wheels within a few days of owning it, and then another not too long after.

Hood had some custom swirls installed courtesy of the damned dealership, but they werent TOO noticeable.

Oh, and I did this gem myself a couple weeks ago at the track. Oops 8P

Of course. $4200 total damage. $2200 of which was labor, $1000 was a single headlight, and the other $1000 comprised of a new core support, new front bumper, bumper support, foam support, and misc. brackets and whatnot. Oh, I guess it'd also include another $250 for a new oil cooler core. It wasn't punctured, and I drove it back to the pits, but it was dented and probably not very functional anymore.

Repairs should be complete within a week or so, right around when I get back to my base from my Thanksgiving leave. I told them to save the bumper - going to keep it as a memento lol.

That was a bit out of my control, to be honest - it ended up bugging out, presumably due to some sliding around, and I didnt know how to reset it at the time. Should have that figured out when I get it back.

Ouch! That sucks man! Didn't even look you were going fast enough for the car to react like that.
