1. Seized front drivers side caliper (warranty covered)

2. My little sister put a gash on the left side of the rear bumper with her electric scooter.

3. My little sister put a dent on the crease of the rear passenger wheel well.

4. Got caught in a hail storm; 5 or 6 dents on the car.

5. Pioneer AVIC F-700BT took a shiitt after 8 months of ownership because I didn't ground it to the parking brake (Pioneers Excuse).

6. Went to look for my dropped phone while driving, and curb rashed the isht out of two of my rims.

7. Didn't rotate my last set of tires properly, and ended up fauccking up the tread on all 4. They were toast.

8. Burn my rear bumper from my Tsudo Axleback Exhaust being too close.

9. Slid into a Neon in the school parking lot after an ice storm going 5mph.
Damn ABS locked up. Now I have scratches and a dent on the front left corner of my front bumper.

10. My throw out bearing might be shot after 28k miles. WTF?!

11. Forgot to tighten lug nuts numerous times.

12. One of my lug nuts grooves got fuuckeed up so everytime I went to take the rims off, it would take me an hour to get the nut off and get the key off of the nut.

13. Left PB blaster get onto of my rims, and ate right through the clear coat.

14. A dent on my gas door because this Mexican dude at this gas station leaned up against my car with his cane. Wouldn't own up to it.

1) Got the car painted and the day after I picked it up it got keyed

2) Got repainted then got keyed again

3) Got repainted then got a door ding and keyed... just left it that way

4) Front bumper stolen

5) Car got stolen, cops caught two guys from the dealership I got it from inside before they got to the chop shop.

6) Car was broken in to breaking out my back quarter glass

7) Walked outside and saw some guy sitting in my car with my door crow bared open... Shot him, still happy about it. Now my car is left alone.

Ordered 4 rims and UPS shipped me 2 of them, have been waiting on the other two for over a month now. Seller refuses to ship me others until UPS send them the check and they deposit it.

9) Coilovers ended up going from NV to CA to CO to WA. I live in Texas.

10) Broken front control arm. Dealer wouldn't cover it. It was bent because I was missing 3 bolts after getting a check up for my warranty.

11) Both front ball joints went out. Not sure how I drive like a grandpa.

12) Drove through water and took off the paint from the bumper behind my back wheels.

13) Water in engine, no damage other than water in transmission and engine oil.

14) Someone drilled a hole in my gas tank at an Academy.

15) I fail at painting interior parts. All pieces done flawlessly except the passenger side lower waterfall piece even after 5 attempts.

Today was jacking up car for oil change and apparently one of the wheels of the jack was in a crack, so halfway up jacking the weight was lopsided just enough and the jack fell over and car came down. I wasn't under it, but the jack did make a nice little dent/scratch on the sideskirt by the front wheel.

Wow so many people read the 'shot him' part and freak out? Must not be very many people with guns here... Shat when I got the gun I always dreamed I would have a chance to use it legally. I was pretty proud until the guys at work said I should have robbed him then shot him, killed my high... Oh, and no I did kill him I shot him in the leg. The bastard was the one who kept keying my car and breaking in, I think.

My truck faired alot worse. I wrecked it 3 times, all were hit and runs cept one. The _____ only stopped after hitting me while I was stopped at a stop sign because her dad was the sherriff her grandpa the judge and her uncle the mayor. So of course it was my fault... Even worse was that I drove my brother's car while my truck was down and totaled it because I got flung off the road by a semi while my brother was in Iraq. He wasn't happy.

Forgive spelling please I'm typing this on my phone.
