Washed, Waxed, Cleaned & Conditioned

Since others were sharing their shinny clean cars... i thought I'd share mine the day after the cleaning... about 2 weeks ago.

My car now has a Brabus Suspension, and handling is much improved, and not a harsh ride at all. I have Before pics... I'll take After Pics after I wash the car again.

I want my ADRs back....

about 2 months ago, i went to Hollywood sports park for some paintball crossfire, for my birthday. couple hours later when we were about to leave, my car was sitting on jacks, rims gone.

I never renewed my Tele-Aid service, so they didn't contact me. Plus, I didn't have any wheel locks on. I guess I was just asking for trouble... sigh

worst of it is aftermarket wheels aren't covered by my insurance, and I didn't want to report it cause it will increase my premiums. My insurance is already almost $4,000/yr

Sorry man, that sucks! A couple of weeks ago an off duty cop was killed in Florida when he stumbled on some guys stealing chrome wheels. Ya just never know what's going to happen so don't sweat the loss too much.
