I'm in disbelief of the poor service.
I bought a small stack of these:

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.
Upon further investigation, there is one tiny area with a paint gouge, everything else, which is minimal will buff out. I could Dr. Colorchip like Surf, but meh, I don't really care that much, it's a 15 year old Plastic Fantastic with a non perfect paint job, not a brand new $40k Super Egg.

Thanks for the condolences guys, but no sweat really. She felt awful so I just told her not to worry about it, I think it was worse for her to go through then me because she knows I'm rather particular/ :care: about my car.

But wouldn't shitty wheels actually be a benefit, this way you can yoloswag your way through the shit weather/holes in the ground deep enough to have a chinese guy peeking out from the other side.
