I never had 18 inch rims before,

soo pissed

i was parallel parking and parked to close to the crub, AND MADE A BIG SCRATCH ON MY RIMS.


WHY OH WHY!..


stupid concrete. stupid

anyone else do this yet? or am i the only noob parallel parker out there with a lancer. sigh~~

 

^^lol. yup. youre the only noob! j/k .. nah i HAVENT done that to my 18's yet, but my father has ..

 

don't worry my friend... its only a matter of time for all of us.... hahaa....

 

Yeah it happens to everyone at some point, so dont feel too bad.

The other day I had this ******* in a Expedition riding my *** down a street and I needed to turn into a driveway. Knowing this guy was gonna plow into the back I just took the turn quick without braking too much, and my right rear tire caught the concrete, lucky it only caught the very edge of the rim and only scratched it.

 

i should take a picture of it, like 20% of the side corner is all ripped up.

arghh so mad.. can i buy one rim to replace it haha how much $$ would that be..

 

I have 18x9.5's on my other car and I went to pull to the side and of course I CURBED my wheels on the craziest broken curb ever! The lip is so screwed now... car is wide and Ive been used to driving my lancer lately haha

I woulda said **** em and just slowed down even more. Were pretty safe in our lancers, and i could use a good insurance claim. Just Kidding. But seriously, dont let other peoples action dictate your driving. Stay low and slow. Except on the track.

 

lol, yall should see my wheels up close. I only have an inch of tire between the wheel and road.

 

The same thing happened to me the other day while trying to parallel park. I took it to the my dealership and they made the tire look brand new and it didnt cost as much as buying a new tire.

 

i know how that is man, i was pullin up next to the curb at my friends house and i scrapped both wheels on the passenger side of my old car, it happens to everyone... or i tell myself that so i dont feel so bad haha

 

well i scraped up the passenger side when parking. then this one girl was driving my car (and my drunken self) home from the bar and she curb checked the **** outta the driver side rims goin like 40 .......i guess it didnt help that i was hangin out the sunroof!

 

Yeah, I already f*cked up one wheel (and even gouged out some tire rubber!). What made me mad was that this was at the 3rd ATM I went to. If my card had just worked at either of the first two ATMs, I'd be fine!

 

I have given up on having a nice car honestly. My wife has already scratched up the front door handle cups with her nails, has scuffed the rear bumper, and scratched one of the rim non-flangest on a curb, got in the car with hard shoes covered in sand and sratched the **** out of the flat entry bottom, as well as put a nice scratch in one of the doors. I am careful as ****, note every car around me, park away from non-nice cars or in tight spaces, and in general am a very good parker and careful with the rims and doors... her, not so much.

 

Sorry, it sounds like it is time to buy the wife a beater like an old civic for her to scratch up... no one cares about civics anyway!

 

I wish. She's been that way with every car, no matter how much I talk to her nicely about it or biatch about it. Love her to death... but her and cars just aren't a good mix. She is terrible as well letting me know if there is a mechanical problem, and to top it off she is a horrific driver. The only time I am comfortable letting her drive is in downtown NYC because then it pays to be a suicide driver... she is better than any taxi driver you have ever ridden with.
