Default Everyone wins except me - I unFunction:TUNED myself + PICS!

Dave: "Meet up @ 10 for a video shoot of Juan's AWD"
Me: (fumbling through my cell directory calling all ricers in the area)

The day starts off with the strip'age of Gooey's car.

Gooey: "So Sly... you got my taillights... wanna buy the headlights too?"
Sly: "UmmMm.. naaah, I'll have to take off the front bumper and it's going to take too long..."
(after 3 more offers... nada!)

Umzz: "I'm getting your spacer!"

Dave is seen below with the removal of the parts from Umzz's car:





Juan: "Let me get your headlights!"
Gooey: "Won't it take too long to swap them out? ... and yours are yellow too!"
Me: "I have 2 extra sets if you want to swap"
Juan: "How much?"
Gooey: "hhmmm... i dunno... $300?"
Juan: "Ah shoot... nevermind, I don't have that much..."
Gooey: "ok how much then?"
Juan: "$150!"
Gooey: "Deal!"
(He has officially been the first person to get a better deal than me on the forums, I will never buy 06's for anything over $149 now)

Commence Swap!

Look at those extra pair of headlights in the box, how handy!



Swap successful!




Sly: "OMG, if I knew you guys had brought tools along...."
*slaps his head 92312313412x for turning down the deal on 06' headlights


And to rub it in even more, here's Sly's car WITHOUT 06' headlights:


But at least he got ricey lookin tail lights!


Shot of a few ricers and their rice mobiles infront of my house:





Dave prepares the digital camcorder to record Juan's AWD in action (coming to a youtube near you, stay TUNED!):


So we go out for a night of hardcore back-road twisty action, drifting, donuts, and *spirited driving,* the best part was: It was pouring down snow! (without the snow/rain/hazardous road conditions it wouldn't have been as fun)

Anyways, the red RX-8 (Ted) and I decide to do a double donut where the noses of our cars are pointing toward one another traveling in a circle. Ok... so maybe we were doing it a little too fast for our own good and the force applied on my front right tire was too much for its own good and it ultimately ripped itself right off the rim!

Next all I hear is: *KABOOOM!!!* *RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE* *smell of burnt rubber...*

Donut FTB! (For The Boom!)



Whoooopsie! Good thing the rim didn't get touched nor did Ted ram into me. I had to run back to the house, grab the spare, and off we went again! Spare Tire + Snow + Drift FTW!

Conclusion:
Winners: Juan gets his headlights, Sly gets his taillights, Gooey's car is back to stock + he has a load of cash in his hands, Umzz gets a plenum spacer!

The OP isn't selling. Hes the one that popped the bead on his wheel. Everyone was at another place swapping parts out from a local guy selling his Z.
