ok, so 2 weeks ago i get my new Touge 18" rims. pretty sweet beasts i might add. anyways, the shop i got them from also lowered my car and re-aligned it. The aligment guy scratched my front right on the machined lip area...sucky. so i was all bummed about that. Today going through taco bell drivethrough, they took down the stupid yellow poles that lets you know where the curb is and when i was pulling up to the window i curbed my ****!

I'm super pissed...why does there need to be a curb that sticks out a foot at the drive up window? also, that yellow pole has been there forever, then they just now take it off? it didn't scratch my **** up bad, but it's noticable. Made me want to puke when i heard that noise.

one of my friends owns the rim shop i got them from so i'm going to see if he'll warrenty it for me out of good will. anyone else scratch their **** up?

 

That is what you get for eating trash

 

ya, i know. i had to get a fast lunch today though. busy day.

 

I just experienced this yesterday in a drive through. Fortunatelly I still have factories, but when I heard that grind it made my skin crawl. Not terrible, but I know its there so now it time for rims.

 

thats why I go inside to get my food

 

that sucks.

 

so good news is i used a little sand paper and smoothed the scratches out. not very noticable anymore.

 

those curbs are there to keep ppo from running into that lil window.. so ppo dont hurt there whole car and only just the rim

 

I never curbed my rims in the drivethrough windows, but I've always hated the curbs and the small width of the lane... always worried I will curb my rims...

 

I curbed mine in a parking structure. There was a curb sticking out next to the ticket machine at the enterance...horrible horrible noise. I usually sand em and polish em so its not noticable when ish happens.

 

ya, 3 years on my 17's in my show truck, i had the tires stretched like crazy....drove that thing like a bat out of hell and i never curbed it....this is the first time i've ever curbed any of my cars in the 8 years i've been driving.

 

TACO BELL drive thrus are very narrow. were you trying to show the girl work at the drive thru how cool you car look hopefully get a date? heh

 

when you sand em, doesnt it scratch up the rest of the rim around the curbage? what did you polish it with?

 

i don't know what kind of taco bells you have, but it ain't like that here...i was going through the drivethrough to get food.
