Buggered if I know how my car ends up with marks and stuff!! I always park it as far away as possible, yet people must be attracted to the "bright" blood orange falcon with a 6km walk to the enterance of wherever I am!! I've almost given up! I've had a rather decent size stone dent and remove paint from the bonnet, a trolley of some description remove 5cm of paint on the rear, some kind of rock removed paint off my drivers door, annnddd now I have a bit of white transfer paint on the passenger door! Soon I might as well have one of those multicoloured panel cars!!

Need to swap tyres to opposite side to correct poor line (directional tyres need to be swapped off rims)Door dent - quoted for repairs, looks like the guy is quite willing to pay for the damage.Kitty cat - resting peacefully... might get a kitten when mum and dad get back from Europe as a surprise.Big ups to Centre Ford in Northbridge... they come through with the goods once again (except they cant replace my cat under warranty) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22863-bad-things-come-in-threes-too/page/4/#findComment-342998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my last car I had parked next to a kerb and was the only car in a whole row of car parks. This lady drives up, and parks next to me. I was like gees out of all 50 parks you park next to me. Anyway she flings her door open and smashes my door.............The biatch couldnt care less and said she aint paying for $hit. She then walked off into the liquor store. I was ropable by this stage so I got in my car opened the passenger door and proceeded to smash her door as much as I could. I then left a nice big spit on her window and drove off.It was harsh but she deserved every bit of it, especially as I gave her the chance to sort it out first. I was going to do the big scrap with my bullbar but it was polished alloy so I opted not to. I still had a dented door, but at least I felt good about it. Point of the story, make em pay.....if I accidently dented someones door id pay for the repairs which is why I am careful around other peoples property.

Not fair I miss my kitty <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Mine got eaten by a big f'ing dog wandering the streets. The cat was asleep in its basket at the front of my mums house. Oh it was 19 too so its time was nearly up anyway.
