Ugh...pulling out of the work parking lot and ripped off the right side of my Leg lip. Thankfully only the lip was damaged.

Thanks man. Yeah today was the first day back on the road too.

The curb at work extends to the side of the car and basically goes all the way back. When pulling out I turned too soon.

I wanted a new lip but not this soon!

Should I try to fix it? Buy a new lip? New bumper? Convert to S2? Buy a bimmer?

Fixing it would take skills. Converting to S2 would be pricey. There are stupid deals to be had on various luxury performance cars.

unfortunately I don't think there's any fixing that. (for a price that makes it worthwhile)
don't convert to S2, that's ghey.
and bimmer? come join the club! We haz cookies.

Rmagic lip would be nice. I have been looking for a good deal on a used E39 M5 as a project.

Jk.
I'm used to it.
That sucks, mine is in less than great shape.

Maybe someone's telling you it's time for a new body kit.

I love wagons, I have my eye on an E91 locally that has been for sale forever, I'd love to N55 swap it.

I wish I would have kept my '83 Datsun Maxima wagon, straight 6, RWD.
Saw this one on PMR.

Whatever.
Paid $1500 for it in '91, got my first +90 MPH speeding ticket in it cruising down I-49 near Shreveport.
IIrc, same engine as the 280Z without a turbo.
