I also dinged a rim at Wendys

Someone posted here that they dinged a rim at Wendys and I must join the club. Today (and yesterday) must not be my lucky day. They also screwed up my order giving me diet coke instead of regular coke and then my fries had no salt and tasted like crap. Anyway the damage isnt too bad, so I'm not worried. The very outer lip has a line of scuffing about an inch. It did not even pentrate the chrome. It could have been much much worse. I'm not worried, but I hope it wont happen again.

I screwed my rims up last weekend at my parents house when I was visiting them. Funny thing is I have absolutely no marks on my tire. It's like the rim just hit the curb without harming the tire. It hit very hard.

Yeah, you've got to swing wide when driving a max through a drive-thru

Wendy's has never put salt on their fries, they always include a packet of salt to add it yourself. At least their supposed to, but I've been ripped of my salt more than once!

Eric, it didn't happen to be the Wendy's on Rockville Pike was it? I think that is the tightest drive thru lane I have ever seen. So many black marks around the entire thing where tires have been rubbing.

Agreed- Damn wendys. THey save so much money/year by not salting their fries and leaving it to a consumer thing...
Screw them, its like asking for ketchup now... life is just getting so tough
