Unhappy learning to cope with scratches, chips, etc.. :(

so as i'm sure when we all got are new rides, we were careful and didn't want any scratches, rock chips, etc.. it's like, i've been very careful and i keep getting scratches/rock chips and it seems like a new one every other week (notice it when i wash my car). there not bad (i'm ****), but it's the point. i've learned not to be bummed about it when it happens so much, like when i got my first one. i'll go buy some touch up paint next week. oh well... regardless of how careful we are, there's nothing we can do and it's going to happen, period. it's life . sorry, i just had to vent. i'm sure there's people who would agree with me. anyways.. take care people.

Since i have to park my car in the school lot, all of the dumb chicks always open their cheap *** car door and nail my car. It absolutely INFUREATES me. I cannot stand it when people do not have respect for other people's property. You can even see one such ding in my sig

My gf had a number of door and misc scratches on her white ex. My friend offered to buff it for $30 and holy ****, the car looked bran-f'ing new. Other than a paint scratch on her front bumper ( f'ing crack heads next door hit her car, but we can't prove it ), everything vanished.

Anyway, get your car buffed and you should be pleasantly suprised. But I'm sure most of you know that already.

(just incase someone doesn't know, I wouldn't have just ANYONE buff your car. My friend is actually certified from a car wash. Not that you NEED to be certified, but just get someone who knows what their doing. A buffer is literally a saw, so you decided.)

I parked away from all other cars. I came back after classes, I see fawking 4 door dings all on driver side.. I still have all damn door dings. About 1" diameter paint chip it on my rear bumper. License plate shape dent on rear bumper. Its sooo sad.

03CivicEX03, man I'd love to help you and anyone out with a inexpensive professional buffing, but unfortunately my friend is only down to hook up immediate friends. He doesn't like the business aspect of it, rather than doing something nice for his friends. ^_^

(I had already asked him about doing other cars, btw.)
