Bad luck already
As my luck would have it, went to turn on around on a side street today and was not paying attention, hit a rock, brick, or chunk of broken curb. So I now have this custom hole in the sidewall of my driver front tire. Thank god for run flats. I just bought a spare rim on ebay too. Looks like the new wheels will have to wait for some more saving.

Not paying attention will bite you every time. Sorry for the hit.

Only takes a moment of not paying attention. I runied two wheels on my '94 Corvette when I got too close to a curb.
