O/S/F alloy kerbed

[Eshrules]

So everytime you used a touchup pen or got a scrape you would respray the whole car or if you caused some swirl marks while washing you'd DA it every wash?

On a car I drive 100 miles a day I see no point in treating it like a show car, if I wanted a show car I'd buy one and would never leave my garage.

Yes its nice keeping it clean and in good condition but on a daily driver which sees A/B roads and motorways I can't see the point babying it

Must've been Sam, we all know the (lack of) care his car gets!

But really, no real point imo these days continuing to baby it.

Oi!

My car is meticulously maintained. Dirt doesn't hurt. It's just a car.

Since posting, my daughter just put a two inch crease in the side of her mums Abarth , and a couple of hours ago I kerbed the left hand front alloy of the A6. ******!


Sheet appens as they say!


Show me the money

Oh well, 2 down 2 to go

Thats the N/S/F got it now........2 wheels in less than 2 weeks, unbelievable

It seems to be that If I can keep it in great condition, looking good etc for 7 years, she wants to prove to me that she can ruin it in a fraction of that time.....I have to laugh or I'll cry...lol

My moneys on either the front or rear bumper within the next month or so!!

Are all wives out the same mold when it comes to cars.......please tell me it is the case so I can feel at least a little better.

Yes, they are, and nearly all have the attribute that the car is a thing that goes when you put the key in. Plus, Oh I forgot to tell you it is making a funny noise since last week seems to be common phrase. I will hide now I case this goes viral.
(I hope I put in a nearly all wives do this somewhere).

I completely agree jim, since fitting my new alloys a few weeks ago she has curbed both from and rear drivers side wheels
Not to mention the smashed in passenger side rear door/arch and drivers rear bumper/ arch.
I' m giving up for now and leaving her to it. Once our finances are settled down latter this year we'll get her her own car to xxxx up instead of mine

When questioned about these curb incidents hey reply is

The wheels are part of the tyre which is in contact with the road. What do I expect to happen!

Hmmm same mold then I'm afraid.

When I asked her about the 1st alloy that happened outside our house ( she reverses out towards a parked car ** she has reversing sensors!! ) then full lock and onto the road, no issues.....I've done it a million times )...her reply was.

I thought I was going to hit the car so I stopped.
I asked her about clearing the kerb.....she replies, I thought I could make it
I said....well, what do you think now??

If in ANY doubt, stop, reverse back a little and then go again when you're sure, says I

Jeeez, accidents happen and its only a car...

Yes, you're right......you were running around in a 13 year old battered and bruised Renault Clio when we met, that barely made it from mot to mot, let alone from A to B
Maybe we should sell the Audi whilst we can still get some money for it and get you back into that Clio?

[AlyM]

Maybe get those rim protectors fitted Jim?
