Thank you, only if you were Chuck Norris...

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday.

If you buy me a round trip ticket in Business Class since you are in Sydney.

I did the same thing in my 05 350z when it was less than a year old. I tried to drive around with it, but I literally couldn't stand it. I bought a replacement wheel. The downside of parking in spots with no car to your right and trying to hug the curb.

Chuck Norris could punch you into last week and then you could avoid the scratch. Or can you? Bwahahahahahahaha.

I feel you pain but at least it is not body damage!

ZedZed · 07-22-2010, 09:13 AM

Hum, overreacting a little here? Enjoy your life a little and think of what really matters, a scratch on an alloy is not part of my personal top 10 reasons to go nuts.

Dude dont worry about it, the best thing you can do is completely detail and wash your car, make sure she is happy, and she will forgive you. I had someone park a hybrid on the left side of my car ( see the thread "i got hit-help for the story) and that took some time to get over. Be strong, deep breathes, wash car, check engine, sing songs to her in the garage, and you will both be fine.

I would much rather scratch a rim then put a dent in a bumper or something like that.

Dude, at least you lasted 9 months. I put a dent on my rear left wheel after a week of owning the Z. It sucks but it happens sometimes.

Like others have said, at least it was you doing the damage.

I had my Z for like 2 months and accidentally dropped a can of insect repellent off of a shelf, onto my back bumper. Still a scratch and a little "dentish looking thing" there, but I look at it and say, "Hey, I did that.

" Oh well!

Seriously. A can of bug spray? Anything can happen! Enjoy your machine. 97% of the time, you will be the only one who notices anything.

I have custom time attack stripes on 3 of my 4 wheels because I'm cool like that.

At least I am not driving your POS color. You know I heard that all weathermen that drive cars in your color were once weatherwomen.
