Already Three Nasty Chips!!!
I got my Mclaren F1 body like a week ago, and theres already three big chips on the lip. At least the rest of the car is still clean.
Chiped Lip
I think i may put a little bit of black paint on it.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission.
I'm glad my wife loves the cars as much as I do! I think I've spent about $700 in the past 3 weeks. The bad part is when I'm gone on business she gets to see everything first! I've been waiting to have a Mclaren for almost 2 months. I can't even play with the one I have now because I'm away .

Ouch, think I noticed a slight steering issue today, saw a thread that mentioned what to do if the car pulls in a given direction, will have to look into it, only does it on slick surfaces like linoleum.. Mouse

as for the permission vs forgiveness, that would never work aorund here... we have a 100% trust thing on the go that has worked wonders for years. I wouldn't do something like that, i'd be killed.
Sorry bout the chips. that sux

I can do what ever I want in my house (when she is not at home)
I wear the pants in my house (when she is not in them)
Funny song but really I just get a bad look when I indulge myself and if she gives me grief I tell her that a work seven days a week and I deserve it
Plus I never let her know how much I actually paid.

Trust to make the right decision? For example-"Babe I saved almost 10% shopping at minizracer versus the competion and I really needed this part because it's less likely to break which in the long run will save money" Please don't take offense 2-7 trust me I don't make a purchase without the bank-of-the-wife knowing i'm doing it. Mine to is a relationship based on that same trust thing.
@speedster 01
what kind of suface you running on? I plan on lowering the mclaren like all of my other cars.

Oh no not at all. . I was really more curious how many wives drive mni-z's. My wife is big on accessories, not much of a racer.
