an 18 wheeler hit me this morning. bumper needs fixed and replace taillight. he came up with 4 stories. 1st we didnt hit you that was like that... 2nd you hit the guard rail(which was on my right side damage on left...) 3rd you were in our blind spot and your gonna be at fault/tickketed cause you cant pass on the right. I wasnt passing he was passing me. 4.(the one he told the cop) he was driveing 100+mph and i was switching lanes and i clipped him so its his fault. first off still your fault if that were true. 2nd i wouldnt be here to tell yall this if i was doing 100 cause i would be dead. the guy even told me i thought you went over the guard rail cause we didnt see you anymore.... and they didnt even stop pos's.

laserblue2006

Looks like its all hydro dipped.

I think Adam should get his wheels done in flowers.

laserblue2006

i have no idea what hydro-dipped is. lol

i think a floral hood would do him well :p

bamaboy22

Can't get my keys out of my car

08inBama

yeah they usually have lots of rainbows at those parades, I mean shows


and I'll give you credit, that is some bad ass work, the design is the buzz kill

HHRSSouth

Google it and learn, basically doing what you did in one big 30 sec swoop and done, lol

HHRSSouth

It would give me a headache if I looked at it to long, but i bet it would be an awesome conversation piece if you were tripping on acid.

HHRSSouth

Its all down hill from here now, your car is pissed at you for getting it smashed up.

laserblue2006

haha.

and thanks. if i come across a better design then i would definitely redo it. but for now im happy with it.

oh and don't feel bad Josh when washing my car today I noticed someone has doored the **** out of it... got a nice scratch all the way to the metal and several things that need to be buffed out around it... I can probably buff most of it out but its going to have to be touched up, no dent though, just a nice scratch


***edit***

n/m, talked to my dad on the phone and told him about it, he asked me if I had tried any GS27 on it and I told him I didn't have any... he said he had some in his shop... so I drove over there... its kind of funny because beforehand I had did some searching on different forums to see what rubbing compound people were using with good success and I saw a couple of post about GS27, mostly hate on it saying it was a waste of money... well f*ck the BMW forums(lol), because I used it at his shop and got rid off 99% of it, literally just a little unnoticeable mark now... I can barely notice it looking for it...

so it worked with great success, my dad said he has always had good success with it... now obviously its not going to get rid of deep scratches to the paint(and no buffer or rubbing compound will either) but for this it worked great


Josh, you should try some GS27 on that taillight and bumper, it my buff out... lol


also who did the police rule was at fault? if it was his and he tried to pull that "its your fault" ****... well, I would have most definitely went to the hospital... my neck and back would have been killing me... look i'm not one to sue or f*ck over anyone, but if you try to f*ck me over, well, f*ck you

It's down to the black lol and a groove so don't think it will help. Now my traction control light abs and esc are all fuckie.... So I know they r gonna hate me tomorrow at the dealership

I haven't gotten the report yet I got to mail out a form with 15 bucks for them to mail me a copy. I'm going to see if my contacts can help me out

08inBama

and damn, how can I forget not to give my advice from the weekend:

when being questioned by the police, and slightly intoxicated(no I wasn't driving), and they ask for a form of identification, don't give them a library card.... they don't find that near as funny as you and your friends do... but I didn't go to jail however I did learn something.... I do still have a library card

Well I picked me up a 2.4L Throttle body with a 6 pin plug (just like the factory TB).

Factory TB is 58mm, the 2.4L TB is 63MM.

I will be installing it after I get back from PA and tuning it, and then Meth inj and tuning that.

While I'm at it I'm going to port & polish the intake manifold.

I didn't want to do to many tuning mods all at once and have Vince going,

bamaboy22

That things gonna be a beast.

HHRSSouth

I just want a nice DD

Got a email back from Vince, he will be closed June 10-19th and I'm going up to PA June
4th.
So I will probably wait and do the swap closer to the 19th, just in case I need my car for something.
