Damn it!!! Just scuffed my stock rims.

I never do that, it's a bout 2 inches. My OCD is kicking in. Tell me I'm not the only one......

Ouch Jesus Christ, my OCD would force me to buy new rims after that, but I suspect you can probably get that patched up and repainted for much less.

Holy shit thats rough. IDK if its because the FRS is so low or what, but ive been nearly sideswipped like 3 or 4 times on the highway in the past month. People just randomly comming into my lane (and im just going with the flow of traffic) and i have to lay on the horn and lean to the outer line... Just yesterday some dumbass in an accord was half in my lane, and when he saw me he snap oversteered almost 2 lanes over into a bus. Could have been pretty epic fail...

I'm glad you avoided that...all this talk makes me wonder why people try and make themselves less visible with this low, small car by disabling the drl's...not a good choice imo.
