Wonder how long it takes the average person to get that first scrape on their wheels? I've seen some older cars that don't have any - probably because they don't parallel park. I'm guessing that Julien's wheels are probably flawless. [;)]

A very good friend of mine bought a 350Z Roadster in June. He, like me, also has a moderate case of OCD. We all know that Julien has turned the art of cleaning his car into a masterful work of science and beauty. Multiply that by 3 and that's my friend. One day though, a nail found its way into the back right tire, so he went to the local Firestone shop to get it patched or plugged. They do so and give him an added bonus, scuff marks on his immaculate wheel. I don't think I can accurate describe the color of red in face other than "Chuck Norris red once his family was killed by Ninja's." Of course the tire place said "we didn't do that, our tools won't make those marks." Funny thing about service guys who lie (this doesn't always work with managers), they hate eye contact. Stare at them long enough and they'll crack, sure enough he did and offered to re-finish the wheel. After much debate my friend simply said "why don't you get your manager and order a new wheel." Sure enough that worked, about 3 weeks later he had a new wheel. The moral of the story is....uhm...ahh...most service places are crooks [?][:D]
