Might have been a RACIAL statement but not a RACIST statement.

You can state someone’s race without implying anything negative around it.

mad racist here bro. at the end of the day, you are driving a japanese(Asian) car.

and you 100% sure her family bought her that car?


too bad that happened to you. buy American next time.

Sorry if I've upset you, was being descriptive.
If it makes you feel any better I'm an Asian male.

Also I'm assuming it was the Dad's car seeing as the Insurance was under his name.

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.

Those workers had insurance for these kinds of issues. You should have immediately gone to their foreman with the claim.

Agreed. Many years ago I worked at an amusement park that had a very tall tower in their front entry. During the off-season they had it painted. At the same time, they were training new employees for the coming season. The wind blew the puke green paint all over the employee parking lot because the contractor used spray instead of brush to paint it.

The paint contractor had to pay for over 200 cars to be either repainted or refinished to remove the paint.

He's serious. The concept is basically as follows, the more you worry about something happening, the more chances it has to happen. Out of sight out of mind, if you don't think about something, it's technically not there. If you constantly think about something happening to your car, something's bound to happen to it, no matter who's fault it is. Best not to worry.

I love it when people get butt hurt over some assumed slight that has no effect on them. I love it even more when they get shot down.

i understand the concept but its not really backed by any factual evidence. its one thing to stay positive. its another to tell people that not worrying about a car is going to magically keep your car safe. there is a law of attraction but it has little to do with external influences

They are lucky it was MY car. Most people probably would have made them take responsibility.

I didnt bother because I figured I had the stuff to take care of it And, who the heck wants to argue with guys tar roofing a 17000 ft building in 37C weather?

That's it. My car is staying in the fucking garage

Yes, lol... Threw it on the alignment rack, everythinh checked out ok, right rear was off by .008°, which will effect nothing....

Anyone not exploring drifting with this car is missing out, I've never driven a car that does it so well...

How about an empty parking lot with some cones.
