I was taking a turn into a Rite-Aid today and somehow missed an extended curb...it tore small gaps into my two right tires. The rims themselves are chipped too. These tires are so low profile...to think, I almost didn't get the extra Tire Care warranty that the dealer offered...for $550 over three years I think I just made up that amount. So by keeping track, in the almost exactly one month I've had this car I've 1) had my roommate bash the rear left bumper in, 2) taken the car back for M-flashing, and 3) tore apart the tires. Oh well, at least I've gotten to drive lots of loaner Mazda3's...I know all those service guys by name now

 

Damn.. I think you need to park it in a garage for a while!!!!

 

I've had the car a lot longer, but I have also been rear ended and I have a couple of scratches on the wheels. The stock wheels do stick out quite a bit more than on most cars. I'm planning on getting new ones sometime soon anyway.

 

Insult to injury, when I brought it in this morning to the dealership they made me drive a Nissan Quest loaner because it was "all that was available". Has anyone ever had the misfortune to drive this van...next to the Asstek it may be the ugliest thing on the road. All my coworkers laughed at me...

 

Oh this car only coust you, Oh... $40K! The least you can do is be more cautious.

 

maybe 40k Canadian... :o

 

You know after you pay it off. Yea I got my 8 for $26K but thats not the final bill.
