Default Trashed my rim

Ugh. I always pride myself in having immaculate rims in all my cars. I don’t hit curbs- I am a man!!

Well, it caught up with me today




Hit a sharp corner hard! ....thankfully these Caymans run 150 refurbished, so a new one has been ordered. The X type is not a concourse-wanna-be garage-queen like my other cars and even sleeps outside, but this was too much to let pass up. I let little dents and other things go, but not this!

Yeah, the only challenge was the bondo plastic metal filler. It hardens UNBELIEVABLY hard. Like liquid steel. Sanding it off is a chore, but at least I know it's plenty strong.
