Bad Hail Damage, loud window; About ready to give up on the FR-S
 

First it was my car getting keyed, now it has hail damage all over the entire body and will most likely have to be totally re-painted. The driver's side window is also making a horrible creaking noise. I think I'm about over this car and I may just trade it in because I'm not sure how much I want a car that's been completely fucked and will no longer have a drop of OEM paint. It still has less than 10k miles too. I still don't know where to go at this point...but I think my days with the FR-S are going to be over soon.

I could see why you are frustrated, but outside of the creaky window, which has a warranty and should be able to get fixed, everything you described could have happened to any vehicle. It sounds more like you need to buy a lucky rabbits foot...

Just stay indoors during a lightning storm.. With your luck you would probably get hit on the way to your car...

Sorry man, I hope things improve.

Bye

That really sucks... Hopefully you'll find new light in the car and you'll start to enjoy it again. I'm sure you'll learn to love her again! Give her a chance!

Someone keyed your car? No reason I am sure...It continues to sicken me with the damage these cars are taking my envious shitheads. I would be in agreement if the chassis was bent or something from a wreck. Window will be fixed by warrant and insurance should cover hail damage. Keep us posted and never give up!

Shit happens. If you would have bought another car, the hail would still have happen. It sux, but you bought the car knowing it will attract attention, good and bad.

An act of god, an act of an idiot, and a noisy window (that can be fixed under warranty) are going to make you get rid of the car and take a huge financial hit...I thought I overreact when I'm frustrated

I have to say, and I don't mean to support your idea of just giving up on the FR-S, but I'm not sure the FR-S is the best vehicle for Boulder CO at such a high elevation and having less engine power, I would have chosen a WRX or some other turbocharged vehicle for living in the rockies.

dude its cursed , get rid of it before it gets rid of you. jk in all seriousness sorry for your troubles i know how you feel shortly after buying mine some lady tried to share the same space i was driving in. long story short all fixed up and now i love my car again

The paint job can't be any worse than the factory job. :lol:

Seriously I'm starting to hope mine gets all jacked up so I can talk my wife into letting me paint it yellow. :thumbsup:

i think it's time for you to move outta that horrible place and live somewhere else. It's not the car man... it's not the car...

On the bright side, its an excuse to get a new paint color since you need paint anyway and be different from everyone else, maybe a more vibrant and lively orange like an Lambo Aventador orange. Well hopefully things work out for you

Agree with Wes. Insurance / warranty should cover all this.

Paint is just paint. Where the car shines in the internals and engineering beneath it. Get some body work done, respray it, and enjoy. Sure it might not feel like brand new off the lot, but that will fade.

You gotta be a man and focus on a solution. Venting on an internet forum and being emotional isn't going to fix things..
