Last month.. stopped at a Taco Bell to eat. Got back in the car and attempted to back up..only to realize I was still in first and drove up on the curb. A first for me. I could have sworn I put it in reverse.

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch about came back up... felt sick the rest of the way home.

Thank goodness you cant see the scrapes unless under the car.

Stripped the oil drain plug. Sitting at Toyota now to see if they can remove it. Going on a half hour now.

Backed into an SUV last night and bumped it quite hard. Now there's an unsightly dent and scuff marks. Ughhh

Ran over a house key which then somehow entered my tire. Drove all the way home with a clacking sound. Got the tire patched...but that 5km drive home cost me $10 per km. Grrrr...

That is...not good. I always throw up a bit when I burp after eating Chinese food. Weird. Happy your car is ok! Scrapes happen...your car is still beautiful.

I always tell my neighbours that if they want to know when it is going to rain, they should just wait for me to wash my car-- it rains within hours. Never fails. Happens to all of us. Sad to see all the detailing product, rim protector, tire dressing washing away though...

Have been waiting to have the box to my intake completely sealed for the past 14 days. It's been sitting at a fabricator's shop and finally got tired of waiting. Picked it back up and put it back on the car. Started it up and wouldn't you know it "CEL". What the f*ck. Reset the computer and it disappeared so I went to see what else was wrong so I went to get it washed. Pulled out and it started idling like crazy and bogged down whenever you pushed on the gas. Made it home and died in front of the house. After several tries I managed to get it back to the garage and decided to put the stock box back on. Took of the MAF sensor and what do I see......An entire sheet of paper in the tube. The damn fabricator had the designs in the tube and I didn't check it when I installed it again. I THOUGHT I HAD THE IDLE OF DEATH!!!! nope just the plans that I told him I wanted. Could have been worse.
