Cursed

It's called the Fountain Curse, and it's the reason I still can't have nice things. Some of you may remember a post about my wheels being stolen a few months ago. That was my own fault. This time I don't know who to blame. My car has been sitting at a shop waiting to get the left axle shaft replaced. I went today to check on it, only to find somebody decided my paint wasn't shitty enough. They used their keys to get the hood and front cover panel more to their liking. ******* punks. No cameras and no idea who did it. The mechanic said he can probably buff the scratches out, but that's not the point. A tip for all, try to make sure your car will be at least in a fenced in area, if not then inside the building if it's being left there over a long period of time. I wish I could catch the person responsible. On a positive note, I just ordered my RB SP exhaust system, the Power pulse intake assembly, and street wires. Cost me a fortune, but it should make the paint **** fade to the back of my mind.
That's my rant, thanks for listening.

Good luck on the buff job, its all karma. It will all turn around!

Thats why all my customers cars get stored inside our shop with a good alarm.

I had some problems at my old shop in Walkerton with stolen stereo stuff.....

Man go get your car and put the shaft in yourself, It's not dificult at all. The most you need besides ordinary sockets and wrenches is a slide hammer. You can get away with using a 5lb mallet also. Just give it a few firm taps and it should come out. Do that and save your money, Sounds like you need wheels anyway.

Well I replaced the wheels already, dj55b sold me a set of stockers for a decent price and I have good rubber on them now. The old ones were useless as I smashed one into a curb last year. I've also got a lot keeping me too busy to do the work myself, otherwise I would. Good to know my car will be safe when it goes to you, RPM.

sorry to hear about your unfortunate incidents. all of my 7's except for one is stored indoors for that exact reason. someone with nothing better to do has to go and ruin someone else's stuff. no respect. on a brighter note, let us know when that RB exhaust and pop intake comes in!! keep us updated on your progress with the car.

Definitly will do, the exhaust leak is driving me right around the corner, and then into a post. So no fun there. It should be in sometime next week, or the following. If anyone has a soundclip of that exhaust on a 12A I'd love to hear it. I've been looking through the audio/visual section but havent found it. Thanks
