My first week with my new z

Krazzzz · 10-29-2016, 07:14 AM

Drove it off the lot and within 3 days I scuffed a wheel, scuffed my front lip and got tar on my passenger wheel well. Ugh. But that just means I need a still fascia and wheels.

May I suggest investing in some driving lessons?

I would say you need to learn how to drive your car a bit more cautiously and be more aware of your surrounds and road conditions.

In my 23+ years of driving, only once did I ever scuff a wheel or body panel. And when I did, this is how it happened...

And why it happened?... The idiot across the street pulled out in front of me (seen in background). I was doing 35 mph, he was doing 50 and we had a near head-on collision.

I went over this unknown section of road where there was like a 3 inch dip that wasn't apparent. Sucks. I drive pretty well overall. As quick on the track as everyone but the very quickest.
