Poor 7 not safe in its own drive way.
Well, My parents drive way.
Just feel really bummed right now. I'm trying real hard to get my 7 back on the road, and make improvements along the way. I'm working with a structured budget and a time frame, here.
any way the car has been sitting at my parents place where its supposed to be safe.
fenced yard drive way quiet small town.
just got of the phone with my mom letting her know to expect some more parts. any way it comes out that the basket ball hoop had fallen on the front of my car and dented it.
since the car has been there it has had a basket ball hoop fall on it. a log droped on the fender (un cut fier wood) neabors base ball dent the rear quarter, some thing I don't know what hit the front licence plate and pushed the bolts through the bumper (I knew the bolts were to long but thought what could happen). loaned my Good wheels out for my brother to use on his FB. never got them back, he gave the car away with my wheels on it. Cover and sunshade were removed so now I've got sun damage. car was mint (cosmetically) when I parked it except the rubber valance was bent a little where I hit a rabbit.
just feel bad I'm doing all this work and spending all this money to get my car back and its going to look like S&*t. I feel like I'll never be able to make it nice again. stuff sucks.

man i feel your pain. i had a beautiful s5 vert many years ago and now its in shambles. ive had my window smashed in, tore the center console surround while stealing my cd player. had a driver hit my car while it was parked - they at least stopped and left info, then had a hit and run which took off my mirror, as i was returning from the police station from filling a report some d-bag backed into me..
... .. . for a 7, its a rough world out there.

While I was at collage I had my 7 broke into in my apt parking lot. Found it in the morning the driver side door skin was peeled all the way back. every compartment was opened seets pushed forward I had a nice tool box in the car at the time. only thing that they took was the little box that the CD player face plate goes into and some copied CDs. left the CD players face plate.
Had a local body shop fix the damage. $$$
Being married now even when I have the money the wife wont understan spending it on a 25yr old car.
I love this car. I don't want to get rid of it. it was the first one I bought. in 20yrs how many will be left?
