Last week I posted that I had an accident while on a cross country road trip. Long story short, my g/f was driving and ran over a fallen rock from the mountains in CO. The wheel was punctured from the rock and as a result, it left us stranded. I threw on the spare and made it across to the town of Glenwood Springs, CO. After I posted what happened via my PDA phone, I must have received at least 10 calls from users from this site.

I ended up driving back to Denver to buy a wheel from a guy named Travis. He gets a ton of respect points for waiting around for me when Im sure he was a busy guy. The next step was finding a tire. I had no clue that our rear tires were "rare" because no shops had them. Finally some dump in Denver called Peerless Tires said that they could get the tire in 2 hours.

We waited at that place for almost 4 hours without a tire. Finally I got pissed and called Discount Tire and they said they'd have the tire in 30 min. So I drove over there and they put it on and we managed to start our vacation.

I thank all the guys who cared enough to give me a call and point me in a direction to go. The last thing I wanted to do was pay up the butt for a wheel from a Nissan dealership. We spent one day in Glenwood Springs because nothing was open on Sunday, so we just walked around the town. We tried out that hot spring...that was definitly pretty cool and a nice stress reliever.

We managed to make it out to LA a day late but still got around to checking out all the spots! I stumbled upon this SWEET *** area off of Highway 1. Im sure some of you have been there, but there was some SWEET twisties in the mountains that took me over to highway 25 I believe it was (we were trying to get to the 101)

Good times!

 

good stuff.

 

Thats good to hear. Glad to know that others here look out for fellow Z owners.

 

I love the forum world for this very reason.

 

Great to hear all worked out. Yeah there are lots of those roads out here but it sounds like you might be talking about the 23, i dont know about the 25. If you were talking about the 23, sounds like Topanga Canyon, lots of great twisties along the PCH North of Malibu, eventually lead there, hopefully you were on Decker, one of the best. Anyway hope you had fun, your trip wouldnt have been the same with out the incident, they always suck when you are dealing with it but once its done, it turns into a fond memory.

 

yep sounds like the 23. Great run up Topanga Cyn RD!

 

Love man, love.
