All I did was take a picture of my dirty @ss car while I was at work.

I got two flat tires and had to have my wife come rescue me! How’s that for a good time.

That said, SoCal friends - they repaved 33 out of Ojai and it is glorious.

That was one of my favorite roads when I lived in Camarillo back in 86, had a 59 Frog Eyed Sprite to run it in.

Parked it in the greatest public garage spot of all time. Will be safe and sound for the next 48…

I owned a '59 Bugeye Sprite in the mid-60s; it was my first car. I ended up trading it for a convertible '59 Bug.

Only recently I came across info that our friends across the pond refer to the Bugeye Sprite as the Frog-Eyed Sprite. Still learning useful facts, after all these years!

No way for someone to come in behind you in that spot, then?

If so, that one's a winner, all right, and just the kind I'm always on the lookout for!

Nope, there's a curb! I park this car in public 2-3 per year max (not counting office). Was VERY excited.

...and like I have done in my home garage, you had the space color-coordinated to match your car! Well done!

And it’s the gift that keeps on giving! 245/35r19 Pilot Super Sports are back ordered until approximately never. Pilot Sport 4S rears are equally unobtainium. Fun!

This is definitely a time to have a second set of tires handy and ready to go.

Wish I had that foresight.

How do you all like my wheels as of today?

I bought these on your recommendation, they were delivered today and look fantastic.

That said how do you get the old ones off. There seems to be a brass pin on top but no allen or hex in sight. Did I simply not look hard enough?

EDIT, they just come off as they are spring fit. A few taps with a dead blow mallet and they were off.

Thanks in advance and I'll post a picture to the thread when they are installed.

Pictures attached. They look GREAT!

OK. I got a few questions on what I will send for free. Why am I surprised? Look at post #3328.

I really don't want to go into business so if you want one, send me your address and when I get to it.....

[Rocky58]

I'm just sick. I didn't realize I hadn't put it in park and took my foot off the brake looking in my console for my glasses and ran it into a concrete rim in my garage at 2 mph. Is this even fixable or is it going to be replacing the whole bumper cover?

I know I'm a bit anal about this, but if the engine is running, I always assume that the car can move. Yes, I will sit in my car with my foot on the brake while the the car is in park and the parking brake on if the engine is running. (Hell, my foot is on the brake if I'm sitting in the drivers seat even when the engine is off). You also won't catch me outside my car with the engine running unless my wheels are chocked, and the only reason I'd ever get out with the engine running is if I'm doing some sort of maintenance / diagnostic that requires me to be outside the car with the engine on (or if my wife decides to borrow my car, but that doesn't happen as much since I bought her a 230).

Overkill? Probably. But, I know my car will never move unexpectedly unless it simultaneously has a failure of the parking brake, transmission and brake line/wheel chocks.
