Anybody here has ecutek dongle that I can barrow? I have the cable but lost the dongle way back and never bothered getting one again. Current car may have a tune because of the headers it has and no CEL per Neal when i got it check. I want to verify if it has a ecutek or other type of tune. A pack of beer or lunch on me! Let me know please. Located in fairfield and work in martinez. I can meet you or something.

I could be wrong, but I thought the dongle is license specific?

I kinda thought about that too but I remember when I needed my frs to be flashed back to stock, equilibrium tuning flashed it using their own cable and dongle.

Well, I'm glad I haven't ordered a foam gun yet. I decided to take apart the Gloria foamy clean foamer and was able to fix the problem. It was simply the rubber O-ring that lets the pressure build up. It bent over on the plunger, so I simply put it back into place and it works again! Yaaassssss! lol

Heard slamming noises outside, didn't think much of it because usually it's just people throwing stuff into the trash.

Kept hearing it, looked out my kitchen window. Downstairs hag neighbor was watching her grandchildren or whoever they are, they were playing soccer on the gravelly parking lot with a real soccer ball. Right as I looked outside, one of them kicked it at my car and it hit the side quite squarely. Ran outside, loudly told the downstairs old lady they needed to stop because they hit my car, she said "no they didn't" and I said I saw them do it from the window. Threatened to call the apartment manager. They stopped, I went back in and called my manager, who told me to check out my car. So I went back outside and found at least two spots where the ball had hit, at least one has a potential scratch.

All my manager said was "try using a rag to wipe it off and I'll call the neighbor tomorrow to let them know they shouldn't be playing back there."

Need a new apartment asap.

Sorry to hear about that, Josh. Take a pic of the one that may be scratched? We might be able to tell you if it can be polished out.

I'll have to wait until tomorrow when there's better light. The one possible scratch I was able to wipe away some dirt, so it's less noticeable, but I'm still pretty worried about it.

Now begins the zero fucks given about your car lol After the first scratch I just stopped caring and couldn't give a fuck if someone doored me at the parking lot.

I'm thinking it'll be able to be polished out. I think a scratch that's bad enough to require paint would mean that the car would have been dented.

I wouldn't say that. Even tho my Yaris has dents and is designated as my "beater" car, I still don't want someone adding dents or scratches to it.

I try to be real zen about it since it seems like I get a new ding in a parking lot when I walk back to my car once a month. Being pissed off is kind of pointless when I don't even know who did it.

I mean yeah and no. Yeah, it's not like a huge noticeable scrape or dent. On the other hand, my car was parked in a small lot for my small building where I expect it to be respected along with any other property back there. Kids were literally playing and not being disciplined for hitting my car and potentially the other two parked there, which shows lack of respect by their guardian and lack of being taught respect by whoever their parents are. I give hella fucks about that.

At least with a door ding (God forbid..) in most cases people just aren't careful and fling their door open. This was honestly preventable. Kids shouldn't have been playing back there at all in the first place (it's a super small lot with gravel, not like a large lot with plenty of space and nothing to screw with).

Yeah it's definitely not that serious. I definitely didn't see anything deep. But just the idea of gravel and dirt on the ball getting hurled into the car hurts.

That's why I take precaution to try to prevent dings and scratches. lol. Gotta find the right parking spot.
