400 miles on the clock and had a right scare s something punctured my back rear tyre..... huge thumping noise followed by the TPMS alarm flashing up on screen. Managed to pull over and luckily there was no body damage but the tyre was shredded.

Used the emergency air compressor and tyre foam that comes instead of a spare tyre these days and managed to limp down the road for a few more miles..... again low wait pressure. tried the emergency air compressor again and it it decided to die/seize. Managed to pull into a garage for air and it was "coins only" at the automated garage so I had to go to a local shop to get change. Finally over filled the tyre enough to get to a local tyre shop I knew and thankfully got a spare changed out.

Got home and the leaking tyre foam/liquid had sprayed all up the wheel arch liner. Not a good day, out came the hose......

Decided to take some pics of the arch for future reference to see what it's like under there. Definitely more BMW stickers than Toyota!!

Do you feel the power?

So much power that I decided to hit some plywood on the freeway and damage my front bumper right after the install ?. People need to secure their damn loads...

Noooooo!! ? I hate that shit. At least the black oem lip is cheap... The paint however ?

An improperly secured load cost me my 2018 V60 Polestar, Freya. That was a really shitty day.

Glad to see someone else's mistake didn't cost you your whole car and 2 days in the ER.

I had a similar “incident” with a piece of semi tire that came apart and littered the freeway. The car ahead of me chucked it straight into the r-front before I could do a ninja dodge. I was…a little upset.

Let the hate flow through you!

But in all seriousness that sucks that people can't do something so simple as securing the load correctly.

Same here, not in the Supra but my WRX. The car in front kicked it up and it hit the right side of my bumper, ripped off the foglight cover and tore out the entire wheel well liner. It ended up being like $1500 to fix the damage.

I went out to the track today. Unfortunately mother nature decided this would be a great day to rain. It ended up like a slip-n-slide...I tried taking the traction/stability control off but it was just too much so I left it on for the day. Hopefully next time I pick a better day! I still ended up hitting 135+ on the straights though, lol

The rain matches your car’s mood: dark grey!

My first ever HPDE we had a freak torrential rainstorm 10 min before heading out on track. It was probably good for me, since it forced me to chill a bit.

Finally took mine out for a drive today after 3 weeks, I was very excited (little I knew...)

Had a few very short nice moments taking some fast bends, but generally not great, starting to wonder whether it was worth it...

It's always something, the typical stupid seat or golf tail gating me anywhere while I drive normally, the coppers everywhere that seem to spawn the moment I move into the center reservation to avoid a pot hole and then being nervous for 2 miles looking in my mirror waiting to see the blues, the potholes everywhere, the white van contractor somehow spawning out of nowhere no matter what, wanting to drive faster than Lewis Hamilton through a 30 speed limit village, having to constantly stop in laybys, to let idiots behind me go, and cherry on the cake, a near miss accident at a tight gap where I had right of way (black arrow for me, red arrow for them) but the insecure idiot in a van seeing a bright sports car must have felt the urge to try and squeeze through just to piss me off and having to emergency brake.

I was thinking of having these relaxing drives in my Supra when I bought it, but it seems I was day dreaming and seen too many Youtube videos, reality sucks.

Installed the Verus Engineering rear diffuser. Got some track days in August to see if I feel any difference.

Literally just did the same thing. Pain in the assssss getting everything to align around the dumb ass FI exhaust I have.
