Finally starting to learn the new limits of the car after the brake fluid, pads, sway bars, and new suspension setup during a track day at the Ridge. It's hard to break old habits because the car grips so much better now.

Took my car to the Toyota dealership and had my oil changed. They damaged one of my Maxton side skirts and tried to send me home without letting me know. Obviously, as car guys, we all notice any damage done to our cars and I noticed from about 10 feet away.... that disgusting pit your stomach feeling sank in.

I went back inside and asked to speak to the service department manager. I told them my car was damaged and no one reported it. They admitted having done it but said "we didn't realize it was damaged, we thought it only got snatched off and was reattached"......

So I got the service manager to go on Maxtons website and order me a new set, as well as write up an invoice referring this case to my body shop of choice to have the skirts replaced and any other damages fixed and paid for by Toyota.

How in the hell are people this shitty? They weren't even going to tell me about the damage. They were just going to send me home. The really scary part is that half of the mounting hardware wasn't even put back into place. Smh..SMH...

At least they admitted it and paid up. The Honda dealer I took my 8th gen civic to a couple years ago put a ding in the drivers door and fender and wouldnā€™t accept liability. Said they couldnā€™t because theyā€™ve had so many customers ā€œtry it onā€.
All he suggested was getting someone to walk around the car in future prior to handing it over! I was in the process of buying an FK8 off them so the last 2 services Iā€™ve had with them for that car Iā€™ve done exactly that. Pulled the manager out of his office and got him to tell me if he can spot a mark on it before the keys get handed over

Got Rear Ended by some idiots texting while driving (guy is not insured)ā€¦ side air bags were deployedā€¦ Iā€™m devastated and upset and depression kinda set in. Car is not drivable and at Collision shop now. I have full coverage + GAP. But my mind is at a loss because the mkv is not with me also I was on the way home from a full detail service and Ceramic coat and then this happen right outside my street. I was only 2 mins away from home! I posted on Reddit and ppl say the car is considered totaled.

My back hurts and neck. An attorney supposed to be working on a case against the other party.
Best of luck and heal quickly! Coincidentally, today is the one year anniversary of my last car wreck. Guy pulled out in front of my 4Runner and I had a fraction of a second to stand on the brake. $5,500 damage to mIne, totaled his Jeep. People freaking suck.

Iā€™m close to a one year anniversary too. Whatever your income level, car involved, etc it can be a very trying time. @Fezzy1234 I hope you feel better and youā€™ll get another cool car again in due time buddy.

So happy, got the horn installed and installed the wheel that probably should have come with the Supra in the first place, thanks to @Andrew4Supra for recommending his BMW guy! Awesome dude!

Snagged a used 2020 3.0 a couple weeks ago. Just crossed 4k miles on the car.
Today just wrapped up installing 13/15mm spacers, stud conversion, rock guards, and whiteline lowering springs.

Also gave a quick bath and used that Griot's 3-in-1 ceramic wax that @MYNEWFAST mentioned a couple pages back. Really happy with the turnout :thumbsup:

~ Looks great! Nearly the same set up here as well.

Strange they have 2 different types of tires front and rear.

Enjoy!
