dang

@ 2 cars collision directly in front of your wife.

the wheels are tuff because it's like a dual layer finish with that hyper silver color. you'll probably need to get that professionally done if the scratch is big.

Yeah, it was at highway speed, too

She was incredibly grateful to be in the Z because she had to wrench it over two lanes to the right to avoiding hitting them as well. She said the Z made the maneuver almost effortlessly at about 55 mph

Yeah, it's damn big. Its definitely more of a gouge than a scratch. There's a huge spot of black it's so deep

Here are the scratches from today with a dime for reference. It's the best I could do with a point 'n shoot camera. Not that I really want to see it any clearer

I will do my best to avoid looking at it from now on

Those gouges look like the big one on my hood I got on I-10 driving to Nismo Fiesta last year. I'll show it to you on Sunday. I just ignore it when I wash my car. At shows, no one notices because I always open the hood.

Brilliant!

My intakes are a lot prettier than the chips and scratches on the hood, so that works great

As for ignoring it, I have plenty that I already try to ignore, so what's one more

I think Kenchan plays that clip loudly on his stereo in the Fit when he drives -- to cover up the shame.
