My Welcome Into Colorado

My Welcome Into Colorado

Postby DaZanY4002 » Sun Jan 11, 2009 6:58 pm

I moved out of So Cal to Aurora, CO during these last few days. Along the way, I got stuck in Vail, so 2 of my oem wheels ended up replacing my two front Volks up in the snowy :bleep: Colorado mountains. After getting stuck again some 200 feet later, I got towed a mile up the mountain for $150. I was finally back on the road and thought I was good to go when my front driver side oem wheel came off while driving (My hands must have been numb and I probably didn't tighten the lugs like I usually would). Gave me this dent on my front, driver side, fender.

Anyways, I already paid to have some wheel studs/threads replaced and other repairs as a result of the wheel coming off doing 40mph. I'm gonna look into body work, but for now, I heard that there's a type of clear spray that can be sprayed on to keep the paint from peeling. Is it just clear coat, or is there something else you guys recommend?

dang man, thats no good
avoid snow chains unless you want to rip your speed sensor wires out and lose ABS/TRAC/alot of cash

just invest in a good set of snow tires like michelin X ICE and drive very carefully, and snow is a non issue :)



on another note, i viewed your myspace, and you have very good taste in hip hop...i hate this lilwayne bullshit...i think he is a fuggin moron...ill stick to my old school crap
