F*ck I Hate Manhattan

Less then 500 miles on my car I hit those stupid A$$ metal plates they use to cover up holes in the floor and the my car kinda of just rubbed the side and it scratched my rims. DAMN DO I HATE THE CITY. NEVER WILL I DRIVE AGAIN INTO MANHATTAN... Sorry I just had to vent out. It just isnt right. LESS THEN 500 miles ... yeah there I feel better.

Two of my rims were ever scratched by similar objects or situation. Wish you would feel better after "vent"...

I shredded two of mine by the WAY to high divider cement blocks at Skank of America drive-thru teller. Thought I had driven past it and I turned and CRUNCH, tires and rims.

I love the performance of the 235/45's.. but damn they're hard to protect.

Do what I do when I have to go into the NYC. Go to rent-wreck and .....rent a wreck. It's much better to spend about $35.00 than to get $500 worth of agravation and damage to your TL.:shit:

Usually when I roll into NYC, I take my minivan. I get VERY nervous when I roll into the city with my Maxima. Especially given the HID theft problem here.

This is horrible, for realz I am just going to stick to my pathfinder when I go into the city, bottom line. Cause I never have problems with my pathfinder. But with my TL I try as hard as possible to baby it but it seems impossible when you live in NYC...
