yah, i still can't believe i curbed it.

im very careful in parking lots and drive slow but must've been from fatigue (lack of sleep working on the Ings splitter all week long...

)

yep. that's how i play this game.

i also wanted a spare just in case i get a flat i didnt want to have to wait for the tire to be replaced or plugged. it's not unusual for me to have one extra wheel front and back especially that these tires are asymetrical i can use it on either side.

the curbed tire that's on there right now appears to be okay with the cement i used on the 2mm or so thick rim protector area, but i didnt want to keep driving on it as another hit in the same spot could potentially disturb the fibers inside. i could not see the fibers so im 99% sure it's fine but why cheap out on some DW tires which are only $240 each when my car cost considerably more??

LOL

you guys crack me up. I got the new wheel and tire installed. I'm letting it get to outdoor temp (garage temp) so that I can get the correct psi reading.

Washed my Z and Saturn today. Also put a nice coat of wax on the Z then went for a ride.
Unfortunately I went down a road that was being worked on and got her all dirty again.

Zipped home for another quick wash.

Busy day.

took a buddy for a ride, he's scared of quick cars, so that was fun, and ordered a CBE for it.

Wow! Way to call your buddy out! I was going to say something untoward about it, but felt that I should be a little more tactful in case there was something behind the fear!

Well then, I hope you redlined the shyte outta your ride on the way to your destination while telling him to suck it up!

It probably doesn't help the first time he drove with me was on the way out to a ski/board trip and i had my truck sliding around with a cliff on one side and a rockface on the other. But the funny thing is he would rather i drive my old truck then my car, it will be funny when the engine swap is done in my old truck as it should be able to kill my Z, but i don't think he understands that yet.
