I've got bad news, Mike (if I recall correctly.. one with the yellow 8) crashed on i95 on the way back in front of Mark (Z0oMzo0m) and I, got cut off aggressively by some *******, tried to correct, lost control, spun, went into the grass, missed a pole by less than a foot and smashed into a chain link fence.
He's ok, major cosmetic damage (bumpers are utterly destroyed, side panels are damaged, headlights are gone, etc), exhaust might be busted as well, had to get it towed.

No-one was hit, and the medics checked him and cleared him. His car's definitely damaged, airbags didn't go off though and I don't think it'll be totaled, but there's a good 6,000$ worth of damage at least.

He was merging to his left, guy came and merged into the lane and then almost merged onto him, he veered, rear started kicking out to the left, he tried to correct but he lost the rear completely and went *** first into the grass, controlling it enough to avoid the pole.
Was quite something to witness.
Yea that was me

hey guys idk if anyone is entirely knowledgeable of this, but i just bought a set of 18's to throw on my 8, n i wanna get them painted black n put on, but my problem is idk what kinda paint to use to get the best look and no chipping and whatnot. The wheels have already had the paint stripped from them. Any advice? I know one of the 8's at the meet had blacked stock 18's
