Bad day for my Mach! - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

jeff a. moore · 11-22-2011, 01:08 PM

Need to vent !
Went to lunch, as I was driving back, I curbed my rim now it has nice big scratches on it. Then I go to BP to get a snack, and nearly fall on my ***, as the ground by the pump had oil on it and its raining and was slippery. As I try and stop my fall my keychain puts a nice big scratch on the rear quarterpanel!!

I went in and told those assclowns they had better put something down quick before someone gets hurt and they get sued (which they almost did had I gotten hurt!)

I guess at least I can only take credit for the curbing one.

There. I feel better now. NOT!

That sucks man! I hate those days.

jeff a. moore · 11-22-2011, 01:15 PM

Me too. I mean one thing in a day is bad enough, but two?? sheesh. You wish you had a time machine and could go back a day.

If anyone else has similar stories feel free to share! lol

Bummer. I had a close call yesterday. I stopped in at State Farm yesterday to drop off a check for my mother-in-law. I was looking out the front window of the office talking to the receptionest when a huge suburban lost control, drove through a ditch, jumped the curb, and side-swiped the State Farm sign. That sign saved my car and a wole lot of grief for me.

Park it at home and walk away from it for the rest of the day. No need to see if things come in 3s.

Yeah, I curbed my chrome right front rim with my old Z28. Had a small nick in it and the tire was a goner by the time I got home (very short trip). It bothered me at first, but then I realized that it wasn't too bad and nobody else would probably even notice.

I've never curb rashed a rim in my life until about 1 month after I got my AFS rims afew years back. I was pretty ticked off, but unless your looking directly at the rim within a foot or so, you can't tell.

Me thinks you need a beater if you get bent over such trivial ****.

I don't see how people curb wheels. I've never done this *knock on wood* but I honestly don't see how I ever will.

Yea, it was dumb for sure..it was raining and I was in a hurry, just a careless mistake. Not much else I can say really. !

Not married are you? Every one of our Jeep wheels has curb rash, 2 of the wheels on our old van, but 'she didnt do it.' Yet I ve been in the van when shes hit curbs. I dont understand either.

Tempting the curb gods I see.

.

They usually are momentary miscalculations, but with the heft and size of the curbs (particularly at the entryway of establishments), they sure are putting themselves in harms way a lot more than in the past. Bad enough that we have to be careful about backing into a parking space or going in front first. Now, some of the chokehold entry/exits curbs are like sirens calling out to our wheels.
