saw a red 350 yesterday on Brittania. He was in an accident with a solstice. He had aftermarket rims on the front and stock on the rears. Didn't look like a bad accident but one of them was facing the wrong side of traffic.

This was me with the red 350. The rims up front are some cheap SPYN rims with winters on them and pealing paint lol, I put the stocks back on the rear while I wait for my ordered rims to arrive from Cali. as this warmer weather really eats winter rubber in the rear. I would have put the stocks back on the front but one of the tires is ripped so I'll wait for the new rims and rubber.

Luckily I was not in the accident you saw, my buddy just got the Solstice a few days ago and after installing an intake at my place he went for a test drive. He made the left turn on to Brittania and the rear broke loose, he counter steered and it started swinging the other way, being his first rear-wheel drive car he made the mistake of hitting the brakes throwing him into a complete spin right into the curb. Cracked a nice chunk of his rim clean off and twisted the rear left suspension pretty bad.

He is OK, really upset about the car but thats all. He has insurance and is getting insurance to repair it under a "loss of use" claim due to hydroplaning from the crazy storm. The shop we towed it to estimated roughly $3000 to fix depending on whether or not he has to replace all the suspension pieces and the stock rim costing 600-800 for one from GM. I told him to just call it a battle scar, regardless if it was an intentional slide or not... lol


Back on spottings though, there is a Silverstone 03-04 350 that hangs out at Tim Hortons at Terry Fox in Mississauga sometimes, he has one of those Shoshinsha "Beginner Driver" stickers on his windshield (never understood how that was cool, but either way), is it anyone here?

Usually all OEM wheels are pretty expensive. A set of factory honda/acura 15's are a pretty penny too from the dealer.

Just spotted two, a Le Mans Sunset and a Silver one over at Heartland Center area (Mavis and Britannia). Looked like there was a meet of sorts, mostly hondas, over at a Tim's by Casey's.
