      I do, but I rather hit the object ahead and cringe than get rear ended for slamming the brakes

          I'll pass, rather keep a straight radiator support and frame.

                    Filed a claim with the city. We'll see how long that takes.

                              You know once in a while I would scrape something along the bottom of the car and I kept thinking it's the skid plate. I'm super careful but sometimes I can' help but it hit. So I finally took a nice long look at it and it'1s perfect.. Not a scratch on it! Turns out it's my exhaust ( the bend after the headers )!

                              My exhaust isn't as close to the bottom of the car as i'd like. I'm hoping there is a shop in the South Bay that I can bring it do to adjust or help me rebuild my exhaust so it doesn't hang so damn low on my car.
