Very annoyed

You see this? This is my bonnet!

I went to a party on the weekend and this is the outcome! I'm assuming a studded belt as there were a lot of people there wearing them. I'm not sure how much it will cost to get fixed or if I'll bother as my car has done 200,000km's and I'm planning on selling it anyway.

Yeah sorry. I can't find the digital camera and it's bright blue sky outside, so I couldn't do much better. But I think the 4 chips are visible enough.

Edit: I'll try and get some better photo's come nightfall.

This is why I never take my car to parties

Bossxr8 · 11-03-2008, 05:26 PM

Just get some touch up paint for it.

I thought it was because your 'mates' wrote them off on the way home?

[Tonko] · 11-03-2008, 05:47 PM

Hahaha

Yeah you gotta watch for that mate. If you do drive to parties, make sure you park the next street over or down the road a bit, as it reduces the likelyhood of anything happening, and most of the drunken idiots don't want to walk that far for a ride home where they'll just throw up in your map pockets.

Cheers

No way! I downgraded my phone. I had all expensive ones but they kept breaking. This one has survived being thrown, dropped, stepped on, being dropped in a pool and it got slammed in a car door once too.

And about the throwing up in the car. I took one of my friends home after that party the next morning, he threw up out the window and down the side of the car.

Haha, If he hit the interior he'd be in there with a sponge and some hot soapy water cleaning it.

I used to stress about stuff like this but it's not worth it, it won't affect the resale value so don't bother fixing it. If you do want to have a go at fixing it, spend as little as possible on some touch up paint and do the best you can.

TwistedEL · 12-03-2008, 08:57 AM

In the future just don't go to goth parties - too many pointy things...

TadKa · 12-03-2008, 04:40 PM

I woke up one sunday morning with a massive dent on my Ed's bonnet. no idea how it happened. I ran into a friend later that day who tells me they had to stop me and a mate from jumping on it. Probably one of the more stupid things I've done whilst drunk.

Yep. No longer will I park my car at party's or if avoidable take it at all. I did the irresponsible thing as well and drove home at 8am in the morning after drinking all night. Although I wasn't hung over.

**TUF_302** · 12-03-2008, 06:03 PM

I never take my falcon to parties! only the old 4wd! they are meant to have some dents lol!

XH XR6 · 12-03-2008, 10:14 PM

stockNAfairlane · 12-03-2008, 10:43 PM

I have a few marks on the front of my mercedes from parking it at a party. It's like people think "Hey lets all rub against a car with nice paintwork".

ED Classic · 13-03-2008, 12:16 AM

Never take my cars to partys for that reason...No offence but anyone who does is mad!!

FTe_XR8 · 13-03-2008, 12:39 AM

is anyone else not thinking the same thing as i or am i!!! i've seen alot worse scratches on a bonnet but in long deep sort of 'v' marks......... come on some of the older guys out there would now wat im talking about!

Jayden · 13-03-2008, 11:24 AM

Park at least 100m from where your going and hope to hell there isnt going to be a massive bogan gathering at the house near where you decided to park. VN commodores trying to do burnouts, boozed up tools with anti-ford shirts walking past it all night. cops using it as a bullet shield. all the usual things.

LOL!

I was with my brother in his STI the other day and we had one of those bogans in a 4 litre VN trying to drag us, and calling my brothers car a ricer. Eventually my brother got sick of it dropped it back into second and planted it...I love it when the bogans get shut down.

I also had a bunch of "homies" trying to chase me in their Gemini because on of my mates yelled out the window that they're a bunch of ..... well, you get the idea.

LTDterri · 13-03-2008, 03:46 PM

Ah yeah know the feeling I have a mate who decided to slide over the bonnet of the wife's old car whilst a tad drunk..thought it was funny at the time as I too had a few under my belt so to speak...the belting I copped next day from the wife was not so funny when we noticed the damage
