Default Curbed



So thanks to a somewhat frustrating conversation on my phone while parking, I lost track of the curb while parking and all I heard was a grinding noise.

I curbed the right rear wheel.





Now I can only look at the picture above to remember how clean my rims were.

I hate drama, its such a waste of time and energy.

How bad is it? You might be able to get it fixed.

Actually its not against the law to talk and drive at the same time if you are using bluetooth. As long as you don't have a cell phone against your ear.

I just curbed my rim ever so slightly by grazing a curb as well. First time I have done that in my 20 years of driving. if you are in Norcal, I would recommend Rite-way wheel repair 925-933-4046. I'm being charged 125 dollars to repair and repaint my stock graphite rim. I'm taking my rim in tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
