Yikes! That is the one drawback to having a car with a good bit of aluminum on it. They're pretty resilient though...I got caught in traffic on Capital one time in a hail storm and didn't suffer any ill effects.

It's so disheartening just sitting there watching the hail bounce off your car and everyone elses and not being able to do a damn thing about it...

Well Ali, you did say that you wanted a white car with black wheels...

Seriously though, that sucks, did you get a chance to check for damage?

Good to hear! and, you'd know it, too, with black. I see every ding on mine from a mile away.

I drove mine briefly last night. Strange that I never see jdmyo wheels ever, but I happened to be stopped at a light with a black 350z on TE37s across the corner. I got the arrow so I hit the throttle a little... probably made him wish for earplugs more than anything.

Going to talk to RJ's tomorrow to schedule my double-muffler setup. If he can do it on the spot, I'll wait, but I don't expect that.

I'm awful with 1/8 mile numbers since I've never ran an 1/8th (only 1/4). What track was this?
