What grinds your gears?

Post by **agny** » Thu Sep 18, 2014 7:58 pm

Two panels on my car are scratched, probably not from a car but from something scraping it pretty high. I didn't see when it happened, because I don't do a walk-around of my car every day or pay that much attention, but it's recent. Recently the neighborhood kids have started riding their bikes and scooters in the empty parking space next to mine. Or who knows what else did it. I can't afford the repair and it's not going to rust so I should just let it go but it's going to make me sad every time I walk to my car for a while.

That sucks. I've got a spot on my car that's rusting on the side I need to take care of and am not looking forward to that. Can you spray clear rustoleum on it? I don't know if it's ok to apply it to cars or not, but better than letting your car rust. Should at least do something before winter comes, especially if they use salt on the roads in your area. That'll decimate your car.

Well, I think it's just on the fiberglass/plastic/whatever material or I would. I had some body work done a few years ago because it was on one of the metal panels - probably just a rock thrown by a mower but it was starting to rust and I didn't want to lose the whole piece. Then it turned out they replaced it instead of patching it anyway.

So this isn't as bad as yours even, but it just sucks, not like I banged up my car on a fun road trip or something.

i didn't get mine from anything fun. my mom pointed it out to me the other day... i think it's from a scratch from the previous owner, she parked it in a garage everyday and it's got scratches all over it. now i'm paranoid i'm gonna get rust in the other scratches. good luck with yours though!

Ryan, he can't even use the car to get to the correct destination. You think he can YouTube how to fix it?

The process of downloading it took 2.5 hours.

A holes. The lot of you.

I have a really good sense of direction but I have trouble going from Jersey to Boston unless I take a long way around NYC. There's no nice route but on the other hand there are lots of ways to go. Good luck!

Would have been quite interesting to see how the Scottish would survive being independent without even having a working economy. In the end they would have required help from GB or from the EU (aka. Germany lol).
