Default My new wheels caused a wreck

Moral of today's experiences:

Always, not just some times, always pay attention to the road in front of you. That's the place that "makes a difference".

Here's what happened. I left work and got to a three way light. I make a right in the yield lane and head towards home. No sooner than 300ft after that, I notice a Z71 puickup and a Suburban in the oncoming lane, both of the drivers are looking at my car. Unfortunately for them....they should have been paying attention to the road ahead of them, near the stoplight. The Z71 hits a Civic in front of him and the Suburban hits the Z71. WTF?

You sure it wasn't the pole and stripper you installed on your roof last week? I don't care what anybody says about downforce, it's rice in my book.

Thanks, PPW is my favorite. My wife hates it though. She and I talked about doing a two-tone of HOK Triple Black on the roof, hood and **** with a modded pin stripe starting fat in the back and tapering to a sharp point before hitting the headlights. Then BMW silver frost (I think that's what it's called) on the bottom (the rest of the car). Maybe a CF hood and the Veilside V1 kit (<could be wrong about that too, something from them looks very cool, I think it's called the V1, if you know, chime in). I don't know if the Bimmer silver will look good with the rims because they have a Diamond graphite coating on the inside of the spokes and the part that touches the lip (with all the tiny star bolt thingies). She and I are so indcisive about the "show" part of this project. Thanks for the compliment. I still can't believe it caused a wreck. Maybe they were just looking at my seatbelt hanging out of the door! j/k I wear it.

PS-I need to take nicer photos. These suck, I had just put them on and couldn't wait

What kind of wheels are those? Stop toying with my emotions!

By the way, tell the wifey to shove it until she buys her own Z.
