Murphy law,,,,rules again :(

So I ripped my exhaust on the bridge. Freaking construction. I hit the gas and the car didn't move. I turned it off and turn it back on and then it started moving. :'( now my car sounds like a lawnmower. It sounds like a Honda Civic.

Sorry to hear about your exhaust man... BUT!

Let me know when you'd like to replace it with the modified exhaust I have from my 1GS

I think all NYC drivers feel your pain. I hit a ditch (way worse than a pothole) the other day and got a bent rim on my not even 2 week old Lemans.

dc area getting in on some of the nasty road action too ^ ^ ^

i was driving home last night on highway 50 east leaving dc and going about 75 in a 65 as usual. my LS430 is about 4" off the ground on coilovers; there must have been what looked like a log or something big just sitting in the hov lane and it went directly under my car (thankfully it was in the middle of the lane). the log was probably like 5-6 inches tall and made the loudest scariest noise as i went over the top of it. sounded like my whole car bottomed out.

i will have to check to see how much under body plastic pieces i have left now.

i wounder what would have happened if my wheel had hit it¿¿¿

The same exact thing happened to me about a month ago. It's no joke out here. I think I'm going to get some 18's as daily drivers. And hold the 19s for shows and events only

Yep it holds air and balances fine. No shimmys or vibrations....which I'm pretty surprised. I already made a 400m round trip on it. I just swapped em out today for stocks as I'll be driving more the following week.
