Default GRRRRR... Hit a curb..

Parked beside a tall one and didn't see it in the pouring rain last night..

Bumped it with my left rear wheel, and now I have a gouge in my mag...

I guess i'll just add it to my scraped front lip and the rock chips on my front end

And the dent in my gas door from opening it too far ( don't remember that one happening but the dent is there...)

How did you manage that? You must have forced the gas door open against a wall or something...

The fuel door must have got walked by when it was open and it crushed...

Could have been anybody in a crowded station... Sometimes i go pay and get some injection cleaner so I leave the lid open..

Wheels are easily repaired and refinished, though. There are ~8 different wheel repair places all over the country (check the classifieds in AutoWeek). Expect to pay $100-150 per wheel.

Yes wheel repairs are not bad, and I have tons of connections...

But what a waste of $$$

save the stock wheels for track or snow
get some k1's (inexpensive) i'm sure its more worth it than fixing the stockers
