suay weekend .. i was turning into the main road, while checking for incoming, crash the car into the bumper in front ...    hai .. heng only the car plate damaged and some scratches to the front bumper ...

did u guys know that there is this newly opened track to Mainland via the main road, meaning no need to go thru tat bumpy, muddy road? it is just before the 90 degree bend on the main rd.

well i was driving to mainland this morning, saw the track, dunno wat it is so see see look look, and mount curb.

got down to check damage, wah lau ehh, my front left rim deformed at the edges

moral of the story - if u guys see the side rd, just drive in! no need to see see look look!

Kekeke. Bro mountain's description of his small mishap seems match yours except his I could call his a mishap.

Don't scare him lah; sway once is enough leow. From now onwards, it's 888 all the way!

dun really want to spend on the rim leh. tat one cost me $200 ea, buay tahan ahh... imagine how many ranchus i can get for tat! maybe get those taiwan replica...

tires are quit alrite, lucky the rim damage is not tat 'deep' into the rim

things tat cost $200: 5.71 small guppy tub, or 2 medium guppy tub, or 1 big guppy tub.

Woo hoo! Now have smooth road into mainland? I just might go ML more often leow!

Yeah, you must replace your damaged rim hor. I'd suggest you also closely inspect the tire as well. It may be a rubber thingy but is actually lined and held in shape with wires. The wires can break after severe impact and effectively you'd be driving on a ballon. Don't play play.

well, few months back, my tires 'exploded' for no apparent reason when i was going at just 70km/h, and i went onto the centre divider with 2 left wheels on my side of the road, undercarriage rubbing thru'out the 20m long cement kerb, and the 2 right wheels on the oncoming traffic road, abeit in the air... sheesh...

if in doubt, change the damn thing, instead of hearing sarcastic remarks from the servicing morons who cook up helluva story...

car warranty/extended warranty protection? load of bull...

That's not as dramatic as a friend of mine who drove an Opel Omega. The tire exploded (he could pin point it easily as the torn-up tire is obvious after it happened) and the whole car fell into the Bukit Timah longkang near First Avenue. When he regain composure, he worried sick that he might find the swat team pointing machine guns at him coz the loud explotion could be mistaken as a terrorist attack at the PM's house!

Surpisingly the car escape serious damage even though it plunged 10 feet down! Solid german engineering, I'd say.

Yeah, just replace the damn tire when in doubt; it's the only thing that keeps you firmly on the road. Sports rims are just cosmetic toys; the tire is more important.
