I have an OEM bumper but not sure if I want to part with it. Good luck! BTW, were you driving with tract control on or off? I leave them on when raining.

at least you made it out all right
Yea i know. The front two tires are 225/40/18 but they're gonna be replaced sometime next week. The rears are fine tho. They're 265/35/18. My plan is to move the rear tires to the front and replace the rears with 285/35/18.

You're not helping the stereotype that people in LA can't drive for **** when it rains an inch. :P

Sorry about your baby. My Z stepped out last night getting onto the 170 south as well. Can't get away with balding tires anymore :P

asking age because they figure because your a younger driver it has to do something with your age and you were acting immature and you walked into it.

Sorry to say though, i know people that are 19-20 that can out drive people that are their mid 20's. Honestly driving skill doesnt come with age. So i dont see why it was brought up.


Anyways, best of luck on the repairs. Dont worry a lot of people got sideways and almost lost it. It happens. Just be happy it wasnt anything major.
