You got sideswiped on the freeway, and the only part of your car that made contact was your front left wheel? It looks like your bumper, front lip, fender, and door were all unscathed? And how did the rim get obliterated so badly?

He was probably beating a WRX in a street race, which is a daily occurrence for him, and all of sudden some fool in a Pontiac G8 felt the need to show his superiority, but he couldn't hang with the mad BOSO VTEC of fitisbamf. In order to save face, the driver of the G8 felt compelled to swerve and strike fitisbamf with a well placed blow to the inexpensive, cast wheel.

Ive never even come close to testing the limiter. It takes forever just to get to 100

well it wasnt he raced me at 120, i was goin 75-80 in my lane and he pulled up next to me, on my left. i was like wtf at this point and worried about him hitting me, just as the guy starts passing my fit he starts cutting in, i honk, he cuts in on my lane tapping my fit. IM PISSED AT THIS POINT! so i get out my phone and am about to call 911 to report his plates. but he guns that shit, and we start on the 125 south and go all the way to the 805 south just 2-3 exits from the boarder. doing 120mph the whole time he cuts around 2 people in the emergency lane again and i couldnt go around so i lost him.... so it sucks but idk people mess with my fit so its just the daily shit

Oh, so there was additional damage besides the wheel, now it makes more sense.

Could you please share with us the full story of how your wheel got busted, including the events that took place before you guys made contact? How did you guys start racing? Who instigated all of this in the first place?

I hope to relive the 90s street racing scene through your narrative.

how low have you guys gone on stock struts?

I have my SC Si as my toy, but the 4x4 status of the fit needs to be fixed..... don't feel like dropping a coilover setup on the fit, as it's my beater.
