crying on the inside... the windshield and labor to install and fix my chip is a lot... enough to buy an exhaust and get it installed. Now time to call my insurance company and start the claim process... :(

yea it's 300 deductible... i just checked with my insurance i don't have OEM coverage and would have to pay the difference... :shakes head:

I trust my shop though with the aftermarket... and knowing me it'll probably get cracked again by a wild rock... stupid super effective rocks ambushing me :(

Drove two hours in first gear (for the most part) in torrential rains and flash floods.

Screw Phoenix sometimes.

Yeah. And this is the remnants of that hurricane (or typhoon, whatever they're called in the Pacific) that hit off the coast of California.

This is officially the wettest day it's ever been in Phoenix - 3.5" of rain and counting it seems.

Haha. It's not been like this in such a long time though. We used to get good rains like this every year, then it stopped for a decade or so... no one is used to it anymore.

im sure water is welcome in the desert, so :tup: atleast keeps the air nice and clean? :D

Haboob 09-08-2014 11:03 AM

It does, for now, but also brings on a ton of humidity. It's till 105+ out. The humidity won't be welcome once the clouds roll out and allow the sunlight in.

Pintsize, I was actually going to ask if I should just have my rotors turned and get new pads OR get the blank rotors Z1 sells and get new pads.. Decisions.

Unless you know a shop that has a brake lathe well and will let you just trim the rotors, most shops cut them straight to minimum thickness. It's always better to replace rotors rather than have them turned. Great time to upgrade to drilled & slotted. :tup:

I don't track my car at all so there's really no point in spending twice as much to get drilled and slotted even though they look nice.

difference is going to be over 1k... :shakes head: don't think it's worth it since i plan on doing some work this month to enjoy before she gets parked for what will seem an eternity and half.
