Got hit by a SANDSTORM!
Damn man! i went for the weekend up to Cleveland NAtional Forest and i decided to take the old freeway back to EL Centro that goes through Julian and around the Mounatains. It was a sunny afternoon and this back road was perfect to test who would have more ballz my silverstone 350z or me. i looked out into the horizon and awed at countless turns and apexes! Then all of a sudden when i entered Borrego springs the winds started to pick up. I found myself in the meanest sandstorm i have ever witnessed. Being that it was the first sandstorm i ever been through i have no idea that i was in line to get sand blasted! Well the storm lasted for about 15 miles.
Turns out that their is 6,780 dollars worth of damage! front window has to be replaced, both halogen lights have to be replaced, two rims have to be repolished and coated, door handle and some emblems have to be replaced, left window has to be replaced, and paint touch ups throughout the car must be done! I was pissed off for about two weeks! But just driving the Z has calmed me down. My 350z will be in the shop next week for about 14 days. That'll be another feat to over come.
2 cents: If you're traveling through a desert and sand starts to pick up, TUrn AROund!
