The starter on my Corvette went on friday… ☹ But after the new one it should be getting a cowl hood. 🙂 ---

Forgot to mention that one… … and the clear coat is going around my antenna ☹ ---

Rear exhaust mounts broke, got a love tap on the front bumper from another NYSpeed’r :lol: Almost had a friend take out a window regulator when the windows were frozen and he decided he wanted to open his. Other than that and a bit of premature LSD wear, nothing major. ---

This just in. Car wouldn’t start and left me stranded at work. Seems like there is an electrical problem to the starter. Battery is fine, turn the key and all the lights go on but no attempt to start. ---

On the TT it dented the fuck out of my passenger front rim on a pot hole on the 90. On the RX7 the car cover blew off and intermixed with the snow and I sucked up the cover with the snowblower and rammed it into the back bumper. Fucking winter!!! ---

> [@newman](#): > > IDK, i never ran into anything… Maybe from driving over small icy snowbanks? I smashed the hell out of my passenger side rocker months ago, and I had no idea how it happened. I clipped a snowbank leaving a driveway the other day and dented/creased the shit out of my lower driver door, and after that I solved the mystery of the dented rocker. That snowbanks left out there now are solid ice. Besides that: -Broke 2 Bosch wiper blades off -lots more rust -exhaust is rusting out in the back -lost and broke a bunch of hubcaps -Smashed marker light, cracked a bunch of plastic underneath.
