I went to Long John Silver's to get something to eat this evening, and went through the drive thru. The drive thru is shaped like a Z, but the line in the middle is straight and not leaning like a normal Z. Each bend is dang near 90 degrees and not a lot of room to navigate. You pull in to order, then make a left hand turn 90 degrees to get to the window to pay and pick up the food, then make a right hand 90 degree turn to get out. Well, I hit the dang curb!

Now I've gotta get a new tire, and fix the rim.

Geez could you just go over the rim with another RimBlade protecor & how long do the blades last I was thinking about getting some

That's too bad. Maybe a reason to get 275's and 315's now?

Or you could just glue that rubber piece back on since it’s not that deep that’s what I did

davidscamaro · 07-30-2021, 09:16 PM

Tire is fine, that's just the cosmetics rubber no cords or belts were touched

You ****ed up when you went to long dong silvers. That place services nothing but frozen fish sticks. Shitty seafood joint. I wouldn’t waste my time going there. WSPECIALLY if the drive through is a damn auto cross track lol

Bro, take a razor or a knife and cut that rubber piece off. Then take some spray paint and touch that rim up. Just sand it down a little and use painters tape, to tape it off and then just touch it up.

The tire is fine!

Car Nation Videos · 07-30-2021, 09:27 PM

I can fix that in literally about 10 minutes.

HawkeyeZL1 · 07-31-2021, 06:10 AM

Super glue the tire. I did it and you can't tell. Just touch up the wheel till it's time for new tires and then upgrade or get it fixed right.

Agreed

I cut that piece of rubber off and touched up the rim. The red doesn't quite match, but it's better than it was.
