Default Noooo....my Volks!

Today my friend from CA was picking up a set of mint Volk GTS from meezie (thanks for the hook up bro!)...I'm very particular about my car and I definitely hate wheel damages.

Anyway, as my friend was rolling the driver's side front wheel towards his truck, his hands slipped off the tire and the face of my wheel ended up on the concrete... I was so sad when i heard this....ahhh my volks!

Good thing though is that he will be shipping them up to me for free next day air and Rey (meezie) said it was only lightly hurt...kinda like small rock chips on the bumper. I will probly have my shop look at it and maybe polish it up. This was only on the edge of the lip any way....but damn, so sad because the wheels haven't even gotten to me yet!

Dude . . . . . . that's why you don't "roll" wheels. You pick them up, and hold on to them until you've put them down on something soft, in a box, or whatever. I've never "rolled" my wheels lol.

You're a dumbf*ck and should be pistol whipped repeatedly for thinking that was the least bit comical. Say something like " Stuff like that makes me go The Hulk on their *** "......... What is it, you're a loser low-life loner f*gg0t just like that piece of **** and sympathize with him? Nothing about what went on at VT was right, besides him taking his own life at the end.

Guys, he just made a statement in bad taste. What he was trying to say was it would make him go crazy, and I doubt he was sympathizing with any killer.

This should be a lesson though, proof read before you hit that "post reply" button.
