I remember that one. Fortunately I was able to fix the front fender

I haven't even washed the Fusion in a month again. It's a few different colors right now, and I already discovered even more rock chips. Such is life.

That would be awesome, although this place is small (you can see into the kitchen when they make your food). This group of people would probably scare the owners back to china.

yeah, thus why i hate leaving either of my civics out in public parking, well, besides worry about them getting stolen.

i remeber, i was coming out of the local grocery store, walking towards my durango, and some old lady, after she was done with her shopping cart, pushed it away, and it hit my front bumper on my durango.

i yelled at the lady to watch it, her response?

"you making plenty of money at that chinese resturant, why do you care?" and gets in her car and drives away.

shows the kind of imbreed rednecks i live around. just cause i look asian, i automaticlly work at the local chinese resturant.

you are going to laugh when you read this. my daily driver was parked from early saturday morning when the snow storm hit all the way through the following thursday. i didnt drive during this past snow storm. one of the reasons that i always liked subaru's were the image of it plowing through snow in commericals and winning rallys. the first chance i had to do it it stayed parked for 4 days.

why? becuase i live in an area in the city that has limited parking. then you add snow to the mix and it becomes even less. so because of parking my car stayed parked in the snow while i took the subway to work with loud students. it was not fun.

I know a little old lady who would have had a shopping cart through her windshield.

Because people would consider it wasteful. But I'm tired of driving boring slow cars all winter. At the same time there's no way I'd prefer the STi over the M in the summer. At least not often. Marina likes the idea because then she can steal the STi the other half the year. That car is going to get the **** driven out of it ;)

Sean, just reading that makes me mad. I can't imagine having to hear that in person.

I'm not laughing. I lived in the city. I paid $200 a month to garage the m3 for almost a year. Do you think that the $2000 I paid got me $2000 back in value on the car? Hell no I did it just for the parking spot.

[angdefeo]

It's funny cause my second favorite car is an M3. Maybe we can swap cars and neither of us have to shell out any additional dollars.

I rent a garage for $170 a month for the extra car. I cant justify it but i do it.

meh, i've dealt with that kinda **** all my life.

like, whenever i get take out from the chinese resturant, i always get asked as i'm walking out the door from some old folk or stupid rednecks

"Hey, when did you guys start delevering?"

that, or when i'm at the buffet, i had some old lady tell me

"Don't employees have to eat in the back?"

i'm sure she'll dies a lonly old hag, that, and i don't want to risk losing my GI bill cause i gave a old lady a heart attack throwing a shopping cart at her car.

Angelo, just leave it in my garage for free haha.

Parking down there is ridiculous. I remember I had the Fusion for literally like...3 days, we were at Genos , taxi backed up right into it. I almost went through his windshield. Shortly before doing so, I remembered it was just a Fusion

[angdefeo]

Marina....did you see my PM?

I put that giant front license plate on my cars as a way to protect the car. I figure that the extra layer might help bumper to bumper touchs.

My car is not a trailer queen, its probably had over 50 passes down the track in the past year and a half..I drive it there, race, drive it home. A trailer queen and garage queen are two different things. The reason my car gets parked for the winter, is A because its all black, and I drove it on ocassion last winter and just from driving it those times I could see my rims getting chipped up from the cinders. Along with my rear bumper. Do I have the best car out there? No...but in the most humble possible way, its pretty nice. Many people would agree with that.

Just because I park my car for winter, doesnt mean it CANT be daily driven...but why drive it in the ****ty weather/road conditions when I have a jeep that I picked up dirt cheap?

Haha maybe... But never. I'm smarter than sending pics to anyone online. Especially on here. Plus Dpan probably wouldn't be very happy about it lol
