Super glad to have her back repaired nicely.
The rear bumper and fender isn't aligned 100% - just a small dip hardly noticeable.
Prestigious Autobody in Goleta, Cali.

This was the damage:

I don't see anything?

Anyway maybe people are staring too hard at this car, they lose their senses and just run into it.

But I feel ya OP. Something similar happened to me the first week I got my car. It's a sinking, depressing feeling

Hmm, if your curse continues I suggest you contact your local shaman.

Until then don't sweat having repairs done. Scars build character.

I don't know, I'd be proud of drift scars, but not "little girl driving dad's car" scars :/.

Owning a black car and trying my best to just let it get dirty.

Why does everyone insist on touching the car wheni show it to them? Just look at it and admire it, yeah i sound crazy.....

tripjammer · 07-19-2012, 02:51 AM

Hahaha, it actually WAS a girl driving daddies' car

and sure its $25k but I've been waiting for this car since 2008.
I've invested more Time into this car than Money from my point of view.
I've been interested in a car since '08

Not sure I understand your point. I've owned cars that have cost from $300 to $50,000 and I didn't want any of them scratched/dented/etc. I didn't particularly want to put a gun to someone's head if they were damaged, but I was never really "oh well" about it either.

If you're attached to your car, it doesn't matter how much it is.

I guess you can include Canada as part of North America.

Picked up my FR-S in the very first shipment on a Saturday several weeks ago. That Monday, I parked next to the building at work and the idiots re-roofing left a nice tar mist on my roof, hood and trunk lid.

I went home, washed thorougly only to find it wasn't coming off. Got out the power drill and the multi-cut buffing kit I have for repairing the clearcoat on pinball machine playfields and proceeded to remove the tar dots using the finest cut abrasive and a yellow foam pad on the power drill head.

It all came out but I ended up with tons of little while dots on the rubber parts on the car from spatter. Also, ended up leaving a spiral pattern in the clearcoat which I can have a detailer/body shop remove using a slower buffer rotation and a bigger rotating pad eventually.

The paint pattern almost resembles stainless with a spiral grain put into it now. I am the only one who really notices it every day.

You can throw my car in there too, got hit by a truck two days ago minor damage to the passenger door and quarter panel. But they both need to be replaced completely.

I washed and waxed my car and took it for a spin, was pulling a left into a gas station. I thought the guy was letting me go since he was stopped at a stop light and he left a gap infront of him. His light turned green and I guess he didn't see me infront of him since he was so high up and just slowly pushed the door in. His truck had a scuff of red paint on it

Have to wait three weeks until the car is repaired

Must be Nissan, Mazda, and Hyundai coming together to curse us lol
