Hey Craig, on the bright side, those 124's are bangin' man! You got this. Stop at a dealer-recommended shop tomorrow, and by July she will be back in action. Did you just wash the car today? Those wheels look slicked up and ready to go.
i washed it yesterday. polished it. then today hit the car with some spray wax after the gym, slopped on another coat of tire wet and wiped the wheels down.

now tomorrow night when i go out, i am going to have to go to a club where you pull up facing the drivers side.

i am gonna find a good shop. wait it out for a few weeks. i need to get a new battery in my bike, new back tire, register it in fl. then i will purchase an ACS spoiler and do it all in one shot i guess. i really hope this doesnt cost over a grand. you know, i am such a baby about modding my car because i dont want to spend money. now i have to, and it could have been better spent.

well, i am not going to go out much anymore. i will be starting school full time soon around a full time career. also, my friend is coming back from iraq and moving in to my apartment. so between the GI bill and the extra rent money, i am looking at about $2300 a month extra cashflow! thankyou uncle sam and devin. i will stop spending money like they are filming a rap video around me in the clubs, and i will be alright. time to settle down, focus on school, fix my car, mod a bit.

maybe this scratch is a blessing in disguise.

i am REALLY trying to be optimistic about this. i dont know if i am buying half of the crap i just spewed. but i am trying

$400 tops.

This happened to my car before except it wasn't me that did it, it was my idiot friend who decided to move the car while I had it parked on the street to get money from the ATM machine.. He moves the car like a few feet and rubs the cars side against a steel garbage bin and puts a deep scratch across the passenger door to rear quarter panel.
The body shop fixed it in one day by sanding and repainting and after it was finished it looked like nothing happened.

In my garage, backing in, handbrake of my motorcycle dug right into my paint down the rear quarter onto the back door. its deep. its not a scratch. it is trough the paint.

my car WAS flawless. now it is a peice of shit. i am shaking and it happened about half an hour ago. i told myself i was not going out tonight because i am a moron and spend a fortune when i go out. so much for that. a few hundred bucks is a mere nothing to the god knows how much this will cost.

i dont even want the car anymore.

i am so mad. i screamed the F word a few times so everyone in a 2 mile radius could hear me. my dirtbag neighbors prob think its funny because they are losers.

this is the worst day of my life... well, this year so far anyway.

i wish my car would just catch fire so i could get a new one.

i have been watching funny videos of people doing dumb stuff. these are worth a quick laugh. it is making me feel better.



thank you all for making me feel a little better. and thankyou youtube for making me feel better.

i was devistated earlier tonight. to me it was the end of the world. my neighbors give me crap (friendly crap) about how much i wax the car. it is my prized possession. i know when it is in the shop, i will be waiting by the phone like my child is in surgery. actually, my dog is my most important thing to me, then the car, then my guitar. car comes before the guitar because the guitar was only 1500 bucks.
