this is why i never let anyone touch my car.

they just break stuff. i told my parents to push my car (push being the operative word because the car had recently had a small localized engine fire, so it wouldnt start) about a one hundred feet to the garage where the hail wouldnt get to it. i come back the next day. my rear wing (stock) is broken. along with my antenna mast. this is why nobody gets to drive her, they dont care for her the way i do.

Yeah, I don't let people mess with my car either, and on the rare occasion I do let someone drive it/work on it, it is only a fellow car enthusiast.

I had to yell at my help when I blew my motor and they helped push the car to the garage to pull the engine out.

First place their hands went was to the wing and I had to yell and then beat the deaf kid with a stick to make him move his hands to the actual body of the car below the wing.

Can't find good help these days unless you drive a 100 miles to find another RX-7 owner where I live.

This sucks
Anytime someone pulls up the hatch or push the car, I make sure they don't do it with the spoiler.
Everyone of them up to now tried to lift or push the spoiler first. :p

well... I don't have a spoiler, so that solves my problem for now.... but when I get my emblems replaced, nobody's touching those when pusing either... (damn the punks who stole them...) and the only person other than me to drive my car has been my dad when we drove it home... (and he is good with machines.... so its all good...)

The bolts inside my spoiler are kinda stripped from people pushing or lifting on that damn thing.

Bastards.

if you don't wash it, fix it, or make payments on it, then keep your grubby hands off it!

i dont havea wing either, so i dont worry about it. but for the most part, nobody that is not an enthusuast of some sort gets to be involved with my car. non-car people just dont understand.
