The car looks stupid as hell on the spare, doesn't it?

yes it does i parked next to a co workers big SUV so no one could see it. First question I get from someone in the office was "why are you parked next to another car today instead of out in the open like usual??"

wait til you discover all the other quirks about Steve's car. Between the white stains on the hood to the nailed tires, you're only starting.

Ha! Luckily for me I didn't have to drive it at all with the spare. I just put it on so I didn't have to jeep the car up on a jack stand in the garage.

Korean tires are magnetic and will attract nails.

... he used to keep a spare can of Unicorn Blood under the passenger seat too.....

the white stains on the hood led to a hidden picture of naked Steve

I am now afraid to open any compartment in the car......

I replaced the window motor in my old 350 awhile before I got rid of it. A buddy of mine was helping me out and mentioned we should put something in the door panel of the car as a joke so we put a porno dvd in the door. Whoever would open that panel up to replace the stupid window motor or speaker or what ever would be like WTF.

I took it out before I gave it to Fusz though. Would have been a great joke though.

I thought about leaving stuff hidden in the car but I decided not to. But now that I think about it, it would have been really funny since a forum member now has the car.

You can rest assured that there are no hidden surprises. And I always drove with my private parts completely covered... they never made contact with the seats.

What I'd worry about is the few months that Lou had the car... that guy is

im more worried about the idiot who bought the car for a month and brought it back to get an altima because he didnt like the B&M short shifter
and he "discovered" that a 370Z doesnt handle well in the snow

Talk about an impulse buy. thats worse than the guy who said he bought a NISMO on impulse and he wants a base auto instead. At least he knew he wanted a Z and just bought the wrong one

and if Lou TT'd it I wouldnt have minded

wheee! · 03-17-2011, 02:07 PM

Tinkle Tinkled in it?

(which was an spoked alloy which i was surprised by)

Well Tire Rack to the rescue. In about 5 mins I had a new tire ordered and it should be here tomorrow.

So I almost had to overnight parts from Japan but in this case when I say Japan I mean Indiana......

So its been an unlucky day. I hope it gets better
Ok im done ranting and I love the guys at Tire Rack

Dude!
You could have driven to Tirerack and had the tire today. They are in South Bend.

#1. 6 hours 22 mins I-55 N and I-80 E 361 mi
#2. 6 hours 38 mins I-57 N 369 mi
#3. 7 hours 2 mins I-70 E and I-57 N 368 mi

none of these sounded attractive on the donut spare

I hope this is how UPS thinks and I get my tire tomorrow!!

I have a hockey game tonight anyway so im not driving to that

Anyone got a picture? I'm curious what these cars look like now with a spare.
