Get this, I was driving to pt this morning and turned the corner at rouse and lake underhill heading up on rouse. I started to get up to speed when WAMO!!!!!!!!
I hit a full size tractor trailer retread in the middle of the road. It was completely intact (not the busted up pieces you normally see) laying there like a regular tire. It was in a spot that a street lamp wasn't present, the only spot I might add, F'n tire!
Well basically the entire front of my car is JACKED and partially missing, my intercooler is bent, god knows what else is wrong, i have to check when its light outside to see if there is any more damage. My drivers side skirt is gone.
I hear alot of weird noises now. It sounded like a bomb went off when I hit it.
Pics will be up later today when it gets light out.
AM I EVER GOING TO WIN WITH THIS CAR?

Anyone around here have the XO2 HKS replica exhaust? I've been lookin at videos on youtube (I know, not the best sound quality), and I think I like the sound better than the actual HKS. I don't want to buy it unless I see it/hear it in person first. Let me know if you know of anyone!
Sorry about the car Stephan.
I feel ur pain...I also agree with Chuck, retreads are def a safety hazard.
Hey anyone know what size spacers I need? I might not be giving you enough info..But I want my wheels to sit out a little further...My rear wheels are 10 or 10.5" but they still sit in more than i'd like. any advice?
this is what is looks like without spacers...

Carlos, what are the offsets on your wheels? It looks like a good 15-20mm spacer at least (front and rear) will do it but it's best to know your current offset and work from there. I assume you do not want to run very negative camber.
It looks like that dude in the white shirt is about to "jack" your car. He's probably looking for some baby food and diaper money.

let me know whatcha think..thanks...
Damn, Stephen. I'm so sorry to see that happen to your car.
I agree with Chuck, Ron, and Rich. Retreads should be illegal. On the way back from Zdayz last year, we had to keep an eye out for them on I-75 for Ron.
