Forum: Rants Topic: Touching My Damn Car started by: Immortal Posted by Immortal on Aug. 10 2000,15:16
I don't get it, why does everyone feel the damn need to touch my car? I mean, they can SEE it has new paint, yet everyone who walks by feels the constant needs to touch it or even lean up against it. I caught a guy one day leaning on it. WTF? Why would you ever do that? Don't they realize the work most people put into their rides? I already have one scratch from the parking lot (If I ever find them, I will take off their tires and slam their car down on it's rotors), which is another rant. But why do they touch my car, WHY? Grr...

i know what you mean. i have a friend who gets all bent out of shape at the slightest thing anyone does to his car, but then he goes and leans against other peoples cars in the parking lot, and then gives me a look when i tell him to get off their car.

you can touch my ride all you want:I was low on money, so its a POS. Hell, scratching the "paint" <hahahah> off would prolly improve its resale value. But i have friends the same way: they dont want you to so much as breathe on their car. Personally, i think spending lots of money on a good paint job is worthless, because the point of my car is to get me from point A to point B. it doesnt have to look good to do that; i'd rather save the money for something i consider more important, like .. well...just about anything else. But i do firmly believe that there are a few things you just dont do: bitches who "key" cars should be "keyed" themselves, with razor blades. ------------------ Posted by Rol3x on Aug. 10 2000,22:26
i totally agree. keying someones car is like cutting off someones balls. its just fucking painfull. i mean, id go ballistic if (well first if i had a car, and dammit i will have one , and it will kickass, i have it all planned out, i just need like 50,000.00$ and i can do everything i have planned) so id go ballistic if i ever returned to my car and found it keyed up. i once knew a guy whos car got keyed the fuck up, and i think he had left his windows down, which is just a damn big mistake if u ask me, and whoever kayed his car took like 5 fl oz. (damn right fluid ounces, i know whats up) of ketchup and mustard and just covered the inside of that shit with it. thats just wrong in my book.dont get me started on what i want to do for a car, ive got everything so well planned out, the only thing left is the thousands and thousands of dollars it will take to do it all.... so if anyone feels to rich for their own good, feel free to partake in releaving some of that richenss unto myself.

While getting my car keyed (presuming it had a nice paint job) would suck alot, i'd probably just sand it down, grab my primer, paint and top coat and go at it. Posted by Sithiee on Aug. 11 2000,03:14
last year, the seinors tried to claim the main parking lot at our school for themselves (theres the cafeteria lot and route 66 lot which is far as hell away) and this guy threatened us (i was a junior) and told me to tell all my "junior friends" to stay in the 66 lot, or hed key their car. the school didnt actually grant them the lot (but this year its seinors and teachers only) but he was planning on keying basically 3/4 of the cars in the lot. and everyone knew which car was his, so i kinda wish he did it (i wouldnt have had a car in the lot, considering i didnt have one) because he couldnt actually need a new coat of paint, because all the paint would be gone...lots of my "junior friends" have keys too....but yeah, anything that takes more than 5 minutes to clean off is just wrong.one good prank we pulled though, one night after we had gone paintballing, someone had one of the "paint grenades" left over, so we decided wed use it on this guy's car, who a lot of people really didnt like. anyway, it was an awesome prank, cause it got completely over the car, but paintball paint comes off with a light water spray, so it wasnt completely evil. but the cool part was, we did it as a drive by thing, and the guy whos car it got thrown out of got more than the car we aimed at... sorry this is so long, i sort of got into the moment Posted by Firefox on Aug. 12 2000,04:44
Sigh. I got the best present in my life for my 18th birthday/graduation. A brand new car. 4 months later, it already has nicks and scratches galore, plus some jackass backed into it pulling out of a parking stall when I was in a store and didn't even leave a number or anything. It just makes you mad when you have something that you are so proud of and enjoy, and someone has to go and fuck it up. My friend had his window smashed and 90\% of his CD collection stolen out of his back seat (worth about )... the other day we were drinking, and we were talking about it, he almost burst into tears. I don't blame him. That would be just awful. He's been building his collection for years and years, and some of his stuff is irreplaceable. -FFox ------------------ "A christian, an anarchist-slash-prostitute, figures out the true meaning of freedom.
