It's a car, what matters is you and Bonnie are okay. Now, hopefully the car is fixed by Fest and we can see the two of you laughing about this.

whoa, dude... so when you said you wrecked it, i was expecting pics like mine from atlanta! so glad you & Bon didn't have to go through that & that y'all both made it out alright! nice reactions, though... recognizing defeat but still making the best out of it :thumbs:

so how long til you're back up & running?

PalmerGA · 04-02-2015, 04:40 AM

Wow! Glad you're both okay. It could have been much, much, much worse.

Note to self: When it's time for new tires, do not choose Nitto NT05s.

ssrs2lt · 04-02-2015, 06:00 AM

Wow and sorry ... What an adventure..glad you're all right..

hrpiii · 04-02-2015, 06:10 AM

Honestly, which one of you were screaming like a little girl.

Ragnar · 04-02-2015, 06:22 AM

Like others have said, glad that ya'll are okay! Because of people like you sharing there stories, it has helped people like me. I've never had tires like the Goodyears that came on my car. I will not drive on roads with certain weather conditions. I'm lucky that I run a car lot and can drive other vehicles. You have a very nice looking car and from reading your adventure, I was expecting a lot more damage. Good luck with the repairs!

Denis · 04-02-2015, 06:50 AM

wow! glad you guys are OK. like everyone else said, it could have been a lot worse.

It did remind me of yours. I won't come away quite as different of a paint job as you did though. hahaha

OP, glad all is good! Beautiful car.

PalmerGA, Not sure if they're right for your area... would never get these if it snowed in parts... but they're not bad for places that get sun most of the time. I think I'm going to be instaling them on my fronts also... or maybe go with the INVO's or NT555's. Nitto makes great tires... just gotta get the right one for your climate.

Hey man, btw, did you ever get that spoiler in? I wanna see pics!

NT555:

zebra · 04-02-2015, 11:39 PM

yeah, my invos do pretty great all-around & are good when wet. that said, for the way i drive the car, i'm still getting NT05s or R888s next time around. i have the truck for dicey weather.

I'll go back with NT05s again. I just like the grip.

BUT,,,,,, I, too, have other cars to drive. However if they are broke down that day it's slippery city.
