Default Sad sad day for me and the z

It was the morning of January 2nd no school that day.The bell rings, rims are here sign the forms, call my local rim and tire shop get an appointment for 3:30.



drivin down my snowy street being a dumb mother ****er gettin sideways with no tread.



my buddy is behind me with the rims. I love tap a tree goin about 15-20 after checking the damage out i continue on to the shop get the rims & tires on super siked even know i just put a hole in my bumper get the z home park it at the end of my driveway.



I run inside come back no more than 30min later my brothers shitting his pants apologizing to me and i make sure the rims are ok before i throw hands but only the smallelst scratch on the front driver side lip of the rim but still managed to wreck my front fender and side skirt backing his mk6 out the garage.

danmmmmmm.

That IS a sad day for you and the Z.

New tires and rims, but TWO accidents.


That's like winning the lottery but finding out your best friend died the same day.

And that bumper ain't gonna be cheap to fix.

Instead of fixing it, get an aftermarket bumper.

When it rains it pours dude, happened to me. Nicked a pole in a narrow parking garage then no more than 90 seconds later I backed into a truck trying to park. Granted the truck was sticking out 3 ft past the fire lane it was still my fault, ended up being just shy of $5k in damage.

Wow. Could definitely have been worse. Poor Z...hitting a tree and 1 accident. I don't consider hitting a tree as a result of screwing around an accident.

That is a really unfortunate sequence of events OP.

I guess it's time to upgrade to a new bumper and get another mod done out of it.

Nice wheels BTW, I've been considering some XXR 521's for my S14

Learn to drive? Then a thread like this wouldn't happen also don't type like this because it's a long run on sentence and then nobody can understand what you are saying and then I will crash my z.
