Starting to get fed up....

resdm50 · 01-16-2010, 05:35 PM

Not sure if anyone else feels the same way I do, but for whatever reason, no matter how hard I try to keep this car perfect, it's impossible. I try to be as careful as possible and yet I have a scrape, a few nicks, and a curbed wheel. The worst part about it is that I want to fix every little thing that's wrong with the car and it costs me a fortune. I'm almost coming to the realization that no matter how hard I try, something will always happen to my cars. Sorry for the rant, but I really needed to vent, lol.

If you drive it, that kind of stuff is going to happen. If you wanna have a garage queen that you only drive every other weekend for a couple hours, maybe you can keep it nice.

Accept the fact that it's just wear and tear. Then maybe you won't feel so bad.

the joys of having a car...this stuff happens, and yes it sucks when it does. i remember 3 weeks into getting my last car, someone backed into my driver side door...and took off.
you can either spend the money to fix it or leave it be.

sux about the curbed wheel though, that would probably pain me the most. knock on wood, my z is still in good shape..holding my breath....

Try enjoying it, and stop treating it like it belongs in a Museum... common sense normally keeps your car safe when driving it around, and finding where to park it safe... that's the price of having a nice car... enjoy...

Oh come on!!! Do you really expect someone to accept responsibility for their actions in this day and age? Nissan should have installed curb feelers and an auto parallel parking system as standard equipment for the Z.

Only if I can clearbra the whole car and it look good.

I have a couple of trapezoids of clearbra on my Frontier, and they stand out like no tomorrow when the truck gets a little dirty, and my truck is Night Armor color (dark gray)

My Z is black...it's stand out more.
