Had a nice big slice of humble pie yesterday

I got used to the hot summers, it was chilly, i didn't let these shitty Pzeros heat up enough before giving it full send in track mode... and a curb decided to object.

behold... my shame:

dam shame but, I would guess you won't do it again

Happens to the best of us sometimes :( Maybe it's a sign for a new set of wheels!

Woof!!! That is some pretty good curb rash. Just say "my wife drove it to the grocery store" and learn your lesson!!!! Also, time to get new rims which is a win win ;)

Do you think you did any damage to anything other than the wheel?

The sadness is real.

I thought the Pirelli summer tire comments were overly dramatic until my rear end did an unintended lane change one crisp fall morning. Thankfully there was nobody around so I just caught the car and had myself a bewildered moment but that came down to luck alone. May your wheel rest in peace but glad everything else turned out OK.

wheel bearing. got an oem replacement on the way from LMR and the wheel fix is only 125 so all in all like 375 for the whole oopsie. wheel is at the fixer now and the bearing should be here tomorrow. i'm gonna get fresh tires while im at it.

so after thinking about it i know what i did wrong. I made the mistake of full send and doing the 1-2 shift during a slight curve on nearly dead pzero tires and from the looks of it the alignment has been off from the factory cause one is a lot more dead than the other.

so, i'm gonna have an alignment done with some steeda rear camber bolts to hopefully get it all dialed in easily.

I don't think the alignment had anything to do with that F U.

Yep don't do that. Try to avoid upshifting with any steering angle, if you're going to be giving it any heavy throttle. Ask me how I know.

Yep. User error. It happens. Learn and move on from it. The upshift caused sudden weight transfer and when combined with steering angle produced the unintended result.

At least that's all that got wrecked.
Rim can be fixed.

My wife is the only person I will allow to "full send" my car... IDK about you but if anyone is going to crash 600whp, it's going to be the insured people....

I don't think sarcasm is a service you recognize

If it makes you feel better, I fucked up brand new rims the DAY i got them by taking them to an automatic carwash... And when I tried to fix them, I shook the paint without the lid on and cried/screamed for my wife to bring a wet towel so I could get the black paint off my green car... And my face... Yup... I fucked up.
