Looks like the bad luck at Goodspeed rubbed off on me a little bit. My alternator cover bolt came off on my way home tonight and shreded the cover..... doesnt look like any damage to belt. Ill have to inspect in daylight. :mad:
Had to of happened pretty close to my house because if I drove it any further that way it would have shredded the cover all the way.

In hindsight, changing your Tapatalk sig may have invited some trouble.

Time to go aftermarket and replace it with something shiny?

Ya I was just joking around and that's what I get. Lol
It kinda looks cool without the cover. But does anyone think that would be covered under warranty? If not no biggie. Just cirious.

Mine did the same thing right after my blower install and I know for a fact my cover was on correctly. I bought a new one which was like 22 bucks with the bolts but I am not installing it at all.

I missed all the fuss I created?!

No, I don't go out looking to piss people off on the road. This guy got pissed off because I pulled out next to him and had to accelerate rather rapidly to match speed with the traffic approaching behind me. He pulled up next to me, glared at me and motioned for me to slow down then blocked me into that lane so I couldn't move through traffic (even after traffic in his lane had gotten way ahead of him). He had his phone out recording me driving next to him, and was paying attention to me more than traffic around him, drifting towards my lane more than once. I figured, if he's going to be an aggressive driver and a petty one at that, I'll make some extra noise for shits and giggles. When I finally got a chance to get away from him, he chased me down, honked at me and pointed while yelling something that I wasn't going to hear anyway. This whole time, I was just going home, so I continued to do such and luckily he didn't follow me further.

There, open discussion on douchebags and asshats, some of which are judgmental and self righteous, and apparently on this forum. Suck it, and if you want to hold something against me, make sure you know the whole story before you open your e-mouth.

We all know you weren't trying to piss anyone off.
A guy in my neighborhood yells at me to slow down every time I pass his house. I always do 22 through my neighborhood but holding it in 2nd gear revved up with intake and exhaust in a sport car, to him it looks like I'm speeding. I had a talk with him and told him I'm doing under the 25mph in our community but he still says I need to slow down. So I told him I will slow it down. I want to keep my neighbors on good terms and to show respect even though I was not speeding. So when I pass his house I keep the revs down and to him I'm not speeding anymore, eventhough I'm still doing 22. But it keeps him happy.
And nobody meant any harm. We have a really cool group in our club and someone was just concerned about our reputation.
Can't we all just hit a b○☆g JK lol.

The cat uses heat and chemistry to turn harmful chemicals into less harmful ones. Some have platinum as Chris said. He says ours doesn't, I am not aware of this. There are always people looking for them. Especially in places like CA where they fail emission after pimping out their exhausts.

I ride my 450 up and down the street after washing it (not slow) to dry it off. I know all my neighbors, and they do not mind. It is way more loud than any BRZ at any speed.

Get to know your neighbors.

As far as public roads. It is perfectly safe to speed under certain circumstances, others not so much. Some people feel the need to police lanes, they are just as dangerous as anyone speeding.

Sarcasm doesn't work well through text. I had a friend that pronounced it Cadillac converter. I never corrected him because I thought it was funny.
