On the way in this morning......
Almost at work when a large piece of pressed paper hard board flew up & whacked me right in the Nismo

When I got to work I was afraid to look.
... The poly bumper, absorbed the shock no problem; f/g would have cracked for sure.
... The chipguard saved the paint; I have a large white splooge that came off the board, but it'll buff right off of the chipguard

 

Glad to hear it didn't do any damage Ian. I plan on getting that done on my new G when it arrives. It definitely sounds like they are worth every penny!

 

glad to hear that.. especially that im looking into getting the nismo bumper

 

Ouch , I know the feeling Ian, that chipguard has also saved our hood on one occassion. Glad it saved your front end from getting scarred up.
That stuff is a very worthwhile investment.

 

yar you guys will see what sand blasting does to a black G when we meet up next week!

 

Nice to know the chipguard will protect against that infamous "splooge".

'Twas a good investment Ian.....

More motivation for me to get this stuff =)

Btw, how bad do you think it is to commute on 401 every day..
I see accidents happening everyday on 401..which scares me away
from actually commuting on it everyday

 

LOL, Godmans, It's not my 'cup of tea' to commute on that hwy every day especially at rushhour, but hey, lots of people do it daily so you won't be alone...........
Didn't you say you have a new job and that driving it now is a necessity????
Sounds like you have to get used to it in a hurry....

Well, I can take the smaller sheets which will take forever..
or I can take GO trian, but not sure if it can match the time =)

 

Public Transit (GO) is the way to GO it seems.: Cheaper, quicker, and much less stressful.....Check that out as an alternative...I would.

What time do you start work?

Earlier the better. I start @ 615am every day so the 401 is not too bad traffic wise and I'm usually done by 230pm so I don't run into the traffic coming home.

I travel from the DVP/401 to The Allen Expwy + Lawrence Ave( about 15 min drive).

I've only been using the 401 since April so these are just my observations.
I've been caught in traffic only a couple of times coming home( it was after 3pm) and it took me close to 45 minutes to travel the same distance.

I believe if I can get my starting time to work well with the GO.. I would definitely minimize the need of putting my G on the brutal 401.

On the bright side, if I cant get to work by GO, 401 shouldn't be that bad (except the million rocks and debris there...) since I am anti traffic: from Downtown to Whitby for work.

Btw, 6:15Am to 2:30pm !? that's early man...my colleagues are always laughing at me since they start at 6:45am..and I am not in my office until 8:30am lol

 

Godmans, I don't think you can be any worst off than me. I travel from the north east corner of Markham to the south east corner of Oakville everyday - 70 km one way! Thank God for flexi-hours because it only takes me 50 minutes tops door-to-door if I leave my house at 9 am. The trick is to know when to go into Collectors and when to come back out to Express! Can't wait to get my X so I can actually look forward to the drive.

 

Good to hear Ian.

I've got a few major nicks in my guard driver fender so it would have been real nasty without it.
