FR-S is Cursed in America.
 
I just got CU2MIKE to detail my FR-S and opti-guard it last night.
While I was eating at Carpinteria In-N-Out some girl scratches the driver's rear side of the car!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
Was about to eat my animal double double (just had finished my animal well done fries) and then some guy comes up to me (the guy that parked a good condition 300zx) and says some one hit me.
Paused and me: "HAA, good one."
Too bad he was dead serious.

Man I've been having a buncha bad luck since I got this car.

Did you get any info on the girl that hit you?

Bonburner 07-01-2012 12:46 AM

Yeah I got all the information, but ugh.
Brand new car = no spare parts.
I really want this car to be immaculate.
If I just repair .. it won't do for me ...
Not to mention the Opti-Gaurd needs another application - need to find another detailer (hopefully Mike will be willing to do another on my baby ..)

DAMN WTF!! It seems as though every other post is about a damaged FR-S. :bonk:

Cursed huh? That's how I felt after hitting that road debris and getting a nice gogue+tear in my bumper. You'll feel better once it's fixed!

Now I just hope I don't have a CEL anytime soon!

Bonburner 07-01-2012 12:53 AM

Oh yeah, a small ding in the wind shield (some rock flew off a guy's tire) even though I had a ton of spacing between us :cry:

Ugh, my under side of my bumper is a mess ... 3 times >.<
3 small rock chips.

Hence the curse .. :cry:

eriktherod 07-01-2012 01:08 AM

Under side isn't too bad. I have a few chips there but I expect it. You can't see it really.

Later on over the years I may decide to flat black the middle part of the bumper and a good section of the under side. It'll look intentional, uniform, and be easier to upkeep. ;)

Bonburner 07-01-2012 03:15 AM

I'm surprised you've moved on about rock chips on the red!
I'm with the silver and I think about it and it bugs me still hahaha.
Soon enough I'll learn to forget ...

seems like a majority of the damage fr-s is coming from Cali, but maybe its because there are more allocations there.

Plus a higher concentration of vehicles and countless terrible drivers.
Was some asian girl driving a 2012 sonata - guessing family bought her a new car .. now both her passenger side's doors are dinged all over .. I am just sooo freakn confused as to how she didn't stop at the First point of impact! :barf:

Law of attraction, you worry about your car too much.

Eh, apparently not enough consider the black plastic is now visible in multiple gashes on the rear bumper .. plus a ding and a bent part. :cry:

Thank you my friend.
My friend IRL's dad is coming down tomorrow and he works for the insurance company.
I'll be getting some suggestions from him as to how I should deal with this issue, hopefully this is where the good news is going to be coming from.
