Poor little guy. He'll never find his way back to his family.

None at all, think I clipped them with my tyres, and they're the more squishy type of cones.

Well the ride was better than the alternatives I would think.
I came up to him, saw he was going for it, and tried to stop, but couldn't in time. Went past where he was no thud, bumps our bounces and looked in the mirror to find no twitching body. Thought he had made it and I just didn't see him. When I stopped at the lights a few miles later I saw his tail pop up in front of my hood as he jumped off and ran away apparently unscathed.

Poor little bugger may not have made the jump if I was running around at that monster truck height they call stock!

Drove to work this morning, took one right hand corner and noticed traffic coming sooner than I thought, so I got on it a little. Back end broke free, did a little spinning. It was fun.

Did not crash, no small animals were hurt or displaced.

quick question.. is the BRZ K1X paint code the same as the FRS 37J? they look to be identical...

Leaving work today.
Toyota plant shift trying to leave all at once and cut out into traffic.
Challenger R/T peels out a couple of car lengths in front of me.
Loads of smoke as he broke traction.
He slides sideways across two lanes of traffic.
Smacks against curb.
Hard!
Rear wheel appeared to have about 60 degrees camber.
I however did not crash.

No
One is the old Whiteout and the other is it's replacement Halo. Both cars use the same codes.

Did you crash?

I thought this was common knowledge.
Here is a more up to date one for anybody else interested.

For whatever reason, I thought "Steel" was unique to Scion

I prefer the Subaru badges and haven't bought them because i didn't look close enough at the paint codes.
