So I'm driving to work this morning and I start to hear a chattering noise, there's nowhere for me to really stop and look at what the hell is going on so I keep driving, I hear it every time the car takes a dip so I'm thinking, "aww crap, my sideskirt must have come loose in the back". So I limp it up to work, pull into the parking lot, reach down and try and jiggle the skirt and it's rock solid, 2 seconds later I peer out towards the back and see a nail sticking out of my sidewall about 3 inches, we're talking road warrior style here, then I notice the paint on my fender is all nice and gnarled up as well...ugh Well I hopped back into the car and rove to the nearest tire place, now I have 2 new Falken ziex512s on the back..yay. Anyone up for condolences? or care to contribute to my repair fund? (hah) I have a small jar of paint, probably about a liter or so, maybe a a little less, I wonder if it's any cheaper using my own paint and having someone fix it, or just having them have to mix etc. and fix it? All this after I just got it running perfectly, after running like dogshit for the last 5 months...ugh some more

 

That sucks man. I guess I'll see the damage at the meet tomorrow.

 

yeah, I'm going to see if I can't maybe touch it up a bit, it's not earth shattering, but just enough to be noticable and irritating.

 

I just got some touch up paint for my car as well. Sonic Car hop was waving her change clinker thingy around a little haphazardly. scratched hte drive side front fender. DOH!

 

bummer, I hope she was worth it It's now a distance ding, meaning you can't really see it from a distance, still jacked up a bit, but at least it's not as obvious now after touching it up a bit.

 

that sucks i had a kid on a bike hit mine and left a good mark. I should have punched the dad for not yelling at the kid.

 

You should of made her buff out the scratch with her vag

 

 

Man, you have the worst luck!

 

sometimes

 

Randall,
I know how you feel . Remember my newly gouged rear bumper
in Salado?? Drove me to depression until I had it redone before the car show...............

But, If you hadn't showed me, I never would have seen it.
When you're ready, Jeff Baum can do it reasonably; BUT drive it a while first.
I MEAN------COME OUT TO THE DRIVING EVENTS before something else
happens!! We love you even if you have a (very hard to see) few
flaws in the paint.

Besides, Canary Yellow is my favorite 8 color & you've go the only
one. This is a huge responsibility! We can't go without you.
LD.

I still have to get my bumpers repainted. It always seems when you get one thing fixed, another breaks!
