Paint scratches
« on: March 02, 2010, 11:16:48 am »
Well, I washed my 8-month old copper red Mazda on Saturday and - nasty surprise - the driver's door has foot-long scratches, apparently done by someone with a white or silver. I managed to take the alien  paint off but the scratches are still visible. What's wrong with these people? Can't they learn to maneuvre properly when parking, without ruining other people's cars?

On top of that, when I washed my wive's Sienna, I saw some bad scratches on the right side of her bumper. The same one we had to replace last summer because of some cracks.

That's too much - both cars need paint work now. Stupid people.... can't they learn to drive?... I want to beat them to a pulp... or ... wait a minute... silver... right side... my door - left side... nevermind! Forget I mantioned it.

People are careless these days.  >:( I once caught a glimpse of a very large man opening his truck door very hard, which smashed into the car beside it, leaving a HUGE dent. He then just drove away. :o >:(

I try to park beside "newer" cars (people with newer cars tend to care more), or just park away from other cars.

You are asking a lot.

Just turn on the TV and see what is on and it'll tell you what level of intelligence the masses are.
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

A car has to do more than just perform; it has to stir your soul!

A true driver's car does not have cup holders.
