I have a real problem with drivers with this attitude on the road.

In our neck of the woods the law requires that side relective marker for PARKED CARS at night.

But then again we still, (like many jurisdictions) have not repealed the law requiring a person walking in front of every motor vehicle, waving a lamp so as not to frighten the horses.

Obviously I'm talking about not being worried about people being able to see me at night due to the car having very bright headlights as well as fog lamps. I'm saying in the grand scheme of lights and reflectors on the car the front corner markers easily go unnoticed--whether they're off or on.

Again I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not trying to drive around at night and get hit.

And honestly I'm debating whether or not to wetsand them down a bit because they did turn out a bit darker than I anticipated. And I need to order some brighter LEDs for them if I'm not.

Everyone just chill a little.

I hope you're ok & I hope the best when dealing with insurance.

Hopefully it's not totaled... GBS is a precious color, there's only about 1000 around.

If it is totaled, may it rest in peace.

I feel your pain man...see mine is the past few pages. I don't wanna brag, but mines worse. :p Mine was pretty much straight on, radiator smashed in. Glad you're OK though. But that women on her phone while making a left turn is absolutely moronic.

Put my TOMs in

Annahra · 05-30-2014, 11:28 PM

Gave it a good detail and quick wax. Then it rained, lol.

Also ordered touch up paint for the half dozen or so rock chips from DDing the car.

Toying with the idea of entering a local car show, just for fun. Definitely attending anyway!

Installed hood dampers

Well, this is what I did yesterday... I got an alignment after install the oem crash bolts. I now have -1.2* of camber of front. This makes such a huge difference on any lowered suspension it isn't even funny. Not bad for $11.

Finally caved and bought ST coilovers. The $100 rebate was too tempting and a forum sponsor offered a great price (a few bucks more than the cheapest I've seen, but I'd rather support someone who supports the community). Now, to get some parts for adjustability...

Mikko · 05-31-2014, 02:33 PM

Still 3,5 months wait until the car arrives but at least parts are arriving little by little..
