Dont care. As you know its a Corporate call. I buy what I like. Not sweating the origin. Sounds like the Mexi built machines have an edge in quality in reality but perception is reality and folks here might not like it. Whats funny is the number of Audis etc built in Eastern Europe and here, thats essentially the equivalent of Mexico.
How do you feel about polish truk drivers doe... and mauers taking dem jebs doe... :gaydance:
To be honest Ive never had an issue with a trucker around here. They all stay in the right lane, let you merge and in general just do their job.....

"We looked at you're keyless sensor on the driver door and it turns out to be a bad connection. All fixed... however, there's one small problem" says the service guy.

The fucker "took precautions" when fixing the car but he gouged the paint by the door handle while disassembling the fucken thing. Now I've got two deep carve marks very visible and they are offering to repaint the door. :gtfo:

There was a thread on TCL... something like dudebrah complained his front bumper was misaligned, so the dealership adjusted it by shoving a screwdriver in the gap to level it, and mangled the paint. He freaked the fuck out and demanded they give him a TT-RS at the same lease payment as his R. Or something like that. Can't quite remember.

I see that all over TCL and had no idea where it came from.

I had to suppress rage today too, my gf hit my car leaving for work this morning. With her car. :wtf: It seems to have done nothing to my car and scraped her bumper :notsure: , my car is pretty dirty so I'll have to wash it to make sure there's nothing there.

Hope the Dr. Colorchip works wonders for you man.

Rough motoring kind of day. I'm over it and will doctor color chip the shit out of my door and get some free VeeDub gear when this is all said and done. No sweat.

Hope your car is okay!

Hope it's alright. I'm sure she felt horrible about it. Hardest thing is to not lose your shit, if you kept it in then good for you because a good relationship is worth more than a paint job on a plastic kiddie pool.

:trollface:

I feel the pain doe dude. My cars have been hit nonstop on the streets. Its rough, and it's annoying af every time no matter how many times it happens.
