Squad, I mean no disrespect. Is English your first language?

I do however reserve the right to make jokes at your expense (don't take it personal I do it to many people including myself on occasion)
See, this is why on occasion feel bad about being an asshole. Out of all my posts, pehaps 12.763% contain a useful contribution, the rest consisiting of joining the dog pile or genuine WTF at some of the full-retard shit owners of this car do to it.

Squad is a troll, or needs to get to the shop for a luck change.

Ha beat you with a 12.7631% useful rate!
I think Squady just needs some more life experience!
Any of the "regulars" that posted the same scenario would have got the same reaction if they wrote it the way he did (and took the actions he did for that matter).
I do have to admire his repeat picture taking skills though since the distance, angle, lighting and perspective are almost spot on! If it wasn't for the fact that some of the debris on the ground is in different spots I would have agreed with the Photoshop theory.
I never feel bad if I screw up I just say I did, apologise and move on.

It's not ok to be a troll. It's perfectly ok to be worried about things due to inexperience. It's perfectly ok to not know exactly how to express oneself.

It's NOT ok to be too lazy to read your owner's manual. You can come back from all this. Just quit making douchey posts.

EXACTLY what I thought that was about. Good on ya for doing that.

Now, as far as the shit on your grill, Simple Green? Some goo off of the tow truck? Leak check fluid from mounting the new tires to the rims. Could be a bazillion things. Don't sweat it.

So now our positions are reversed, Tcoat!
I still call foul on those two photos. I've seen too many flat tyres, all of them have had a slight bulge between the road and the rim. So the first photo looks fake. BUT, I could be wrong. These particular tyres may look different when flat.
In the second photo, the wheels looks misplaced in the wheel wells, especially the rear one. That COULD be because the offset on those wheels are strange combined with the angle of the photo, so I could be wrong here, too.

I have read every post SquadRouge has made (it's not many) and I think he's been playing jokes on us all this time.
The only thing that will make me change my mind, is if he posts the original, high resolution originals of those two photos so I can look at the details.

I'm procrastinating with a slow leak on my front left. It's what they look like deflated.

The spares look weird because the suspension hadn't settled after being dropped off of the jack.

So now you've changed sided and become a believer, too?
This is getting interesting :-)
How large and what shape would that rock have to be to cause that kind of damage on two wheels without bouncing up and hitting his car?
A very large slab of concrete might do it, but he calls it a rock.

I've been through it and I recognize the damage. Not surprised.
I also congratulate OP for his foresight in mounting the spares before trailering it. He clearly cares a great deal for his vehicle.
