A friend of mine managed to hurt my LS on the weekend, found damage today when I gave it a wash.

Long story short, this guy was in the back seat a wee bit drunk, and was busy puking out the door while at a Tim Hortens drive thru. Better out of the car then inside I guess.

He must have managed to bop my door against one of their yellow posts that protect the speaker equipment.

Luckily there is only paint transfer, and it's only on the handle - so it should buff off. Pic to follow tomorrow.

Poor car - it's going to need a paint job by the end of this summer :(.

dumb friends ive had friends burn my car with cigs (back when i smoked) is there any way to cover up thise burns, car came with a couple on drivers pillar

I've got caked on crap on the decklid, and a quite a few chips and scratches. It really pisses me off to see them, and I'm thinking if I get it repainted, I may spring for the LSE kit as well.

yea I had a friend riddin shotgun in my infiniti and flicked a cig out his window right back in the back one onto the back seat (bastard) then my daughter managed to "oops" pen on the back seat of my ls. Thank god the ink came out f**k my other car.

by the way take your friend and close the door he scuffed on his hand. I can bet he will have a new found respect for your car...

I hhad a best friend total my 1988 GT Mustang Convert... Says he was run off the road. Others say he was driving like a mad man!

take whatever parts fell off your car and beat him.....

beat him badly...

I've found it best to not let anyone ride in my LS but me. Yeah sure, this isn't always an option but I've come to the realization that no one (not even my "wonderful" girlfriend) has the same respect for my car that I do. As for friends, at least you can punch them in the face and then give 'em a beer and sit down and watch the game together with no hard feelings. Try doing this to your wife, girlfriend, etc. It doesn't work quite as well.

no one will love it like you do well except other LS owners. I dont even think the techs that work on them truly love them like we do.

I concur. My wife like to get crazy with her car door when both are in teh garage. She left a very small dent so i took it out on her 03 Altime 3.5 yeah she did not like that or me very much but did not see the problem when she mamed my car.

You "silly goose" it's different when it's her car. I mean after all you're married, son't tell me this is the first time that she has "been right". While we're on the subject of women and our cars let me ask you this. Do you think it's crazy for me to ask her to wash her hands after eating Doritos out of the bag before we get in my car? I mean am I the only one that knows what that god awful orange will do to a car's interior? I love the things too, but damn, how hard is it to wash your hands. Sorry, it's late, and I'm ranting.
:slam

we are all guilty tho. I know i cant be the only guy that beat the brains out of his bosses car at one point or another. when it isnt yours you tend to not care, but when it is it feels like the whole world wants to hurt your car. the birds wait for a clean windshield and crap on you, the bi**h in front of you waits for you to wax your car then spray her windshield nozzles. flats in the snow, soda on your floor, dirt on your freshly shined tires, accidently rolling down windows after cleaning streaks ah man the list goes on and on.

well you pretty much just named every pet peeve I have (minus the whole flat in the snow thing, I mean after all I live in S. GA) honestly, how bad do you want to kick yourself when you've spent your whole Sat. detailing your car and Sund morning go to put something in the mailbox only to realize that the water is still inside your doors and now your windows are streaked...as for soda, I'm to the point that I think I would rather go thirsty than risk it

speaking of this I had a revelation today....
Big Mac eaten at home=1% patty, 1% special sauce, 98% dry bread
Big Mac eaten in LS= 1% patty, 1% dry bread, 98% special sauce

you know whats worse for your car than drunk drivers...kids....period

Well I have to say I'm not to familiar with the whole kids thing. I can barely take care of myself. I mean if it comes down to wax or food...well you know

my girlfriend decided i should taxi her little brother to the Y. I thought i can't be that bad hes 9 and should me calm enough not to F!@#$ something up. WRONG. Greasy hands on leather, rolled down windows after a wash, sneezed on back of shotgun seat, kicked speaker grill denting it(thats what really pissed me off) opened the car wide F!@#$@ up a TL(i didn't notice but my gf saw it and said nothing, then i saw the scuff on the enge of my door and she then told me) and then it really ticks me off when people slam my door and i know its not exactly that bad for the car its just a peeve.

Girlfriend annoys me too, she likes to recline seats and rest her feet on my dash.

Wow, I'm glad I don't have kids yet - and if I do, they're not going near my LS!

This guy isn't a close friend, and even though I'm bigger than him - I won't go around knocking sense into him - even though he could use it ;).

No pic to come, I've just got a phone call - my new employer is desperate to get me to do a delivery to NC for Thursday morning, and it's way to dark to be taking shots now.

Every time I wash the LS I get more depressed by the paint too, it's looking pretty nasty for 5 year old paint. The aluminum hood+trunk both have paint chips out of them, the trunk is really bad - a 2" diameter chunk of paint flaked off around the key hole when I pressure washed it earlier this winter.

A buddy wants to fix those spots (and touch up the rest of the car), then spray it with a new (and thick) layer of clear coat, with a touch of 'mica'. Could be interesting.

ah man!!! when my pass. door gets slammed i always roll down the window and ask "r u sure you got it closed".... oh yea and this bastart f**kin a**hole mutherfu**kin bird landed on my hood the other day and started moonwalking on my hood. he had a silver glove on and everything!!!! no scratches tho. I hit him wit a french fry. bastard!!!

NO DOUBT! I love my kids and adore my car. All you have to is wash the thing and they are attracted like bugs to a zapper at night. Greasy finger marks on the windows and along the side of the car. My wife like the feet on the dash thing two. They take liberties with my car that I would not even begin to think about asking for in their car well her the car kids car will be years off.

any one know how to keep cats off a car. I raise the hood but now they jump up on the trunk. The birds like to sit on the raised hood now and guess what kind of presents they leave behind!

yeah, a ruger 77/22 with a 4x16 burris. no offense to you PETA folks meant

yeah I have a few range rifles and thought about emplying them in my anti-cat on the car strategy. It is kind of woodsy out here and I hear shots all the time so I don't think that would be a problem. I am curious if they do taste like chicken heck who knows maybe that otion is still on the table but I'd prefer psychological warfare. I'd rather terrify them and whip them into submission that way they stay off of everyones car and pet owners can still have their cute little fluffy cat.

I should find a taxidermist and see if he can get me a stuffed cat and just put it on top of the car maybe they have a professional courtesy where they wont try to get on top of an occupied car.

I treasure my car like my own baby.
few months after I got it, I let my younger brother take it on his date.
sad to say, my car was de-virginized by him.
I saw somethings left on the car along with few unmentionable stains.
I cried. it was almost like finding out your own daughter is having sex.
after that, he's no longer allowed to take it on a date.
that bastard. I almost want to do it in his car.
it's still upsetting after 2 years...

Well I have to say that the whole stuffed cat thing sounds great even if it didn't work. I mean can you imagine the talk onthe streets when everyone in the neighborhood saw you put a stuffed calico on top of your car every night. Yeah I hate to shoot them also, but I really don't like cats, I'm a dog man myself. And no I don't mean dawg man as in the University of GA. Yellow Jackets all the way for me.

yeah it would create quite the stir.

Yellow Jackets all the way for me.

Go Tech, especially this next month in March Madness!

Go Tech, especially this next month in March Madness!

I'm a second year student at Tech. Tech bball is definately exciting. As for football, well thats another story...

I've got my girlfriend trained to respect my car and treat it like i do.....its just the little things like closing the door by the window or tracking in rocks that drive me crazy (i detail cars for a living and having to spend extra time on mine for someone else getting it dirty gets old). She used to be bad at that, but now she is great for not messing up my car.

And on the subject, you're right, nobody will treat your car with respect unless they take pride in their car.......and from the cars i detail most people don't. To give you an idea, the other day a customer brought their car in to get detailed and they had dumped some milk on the back carpet. Only problem is they didn't really clean it up and it mold (we're talking the carpets were supposed to be black but they were gray/green with mold)...........yeah, way to go people. Honestly, i think a clean car reflects on the person. If their car is a pit, just think about it........

yeah, i had a drunk guy puke in my Mom's Conti. years ago. I told him before he got in that if he puked in there i was going to pound him. Needless to say, he did...and i did. Pulled up to the local car wash, dumped him out next to the vaccum, finished my business of clean up, and with some time left on the machine, stuck the hose to his face and left him there! haven't seen or heard from him since.

NICE work mayhawboy! I have to say most females have no repsect for nice autos. I am sick of hearing why is your car so clean dont you have anything else to do! Here is my new 2.0 Response to that comment, " I am sorry do have nothing to do but stand in front of a mirror 8 hours a day!?" My current gf has a 5 yr old son and he actually respects my LS because he got in trouble one day we he put his feet on the back of seat. Needless to say his mother and I got into fight about it but sometimes it takes lil things like this to realize how someone feels about there car. Side note besides my father (passed away 10/30/04) I dont let anyone at ALL touch my 1967 E-Type Jaguar roadster. Not even my mother!

-Scott-

That picture I promised never did get posted did it? Too late now, it came off nicely with some acetone. A bit of wax and it was good as new.

Good thing Timmy's uses cheap paint on their posts :D.

Turns out another guy in the car managed to screw up the window regulator on his side - the windows were froze, and they were holding the switches down trying to free them. It broke the next weekend on a 3 hour drive home from a ski trip :mad:. Fixed that with a block of wood :rolleyes:.

Damn drunks!
