Sorry, I know it's technically "minor" but as a very meticulous car care guy... the dent /crumple on the air intake fender will always catch my eye now.
If I was responsible for it, I would accept it with no issue. But because it was due to no fault of my own, it's frustrating to be reminded that this is why we can't have nice things, lol.

It has been liberating for me to drive a "beater". I tossed and turned myself inside out whether to go weekend sports car/beater or compromise nice car and the former is 100% less stress. The beater (2008 9-3 wagon) has dings and scratches and is generally a fucking mess because people hit me, people ding me in parking lots etc. It is so much easier to drive that 90% of the time and not worry. The Porsche is a fair weather ride so easier to keep in good shape.

Someone is trying to show off. There are free parking spots everywhere. I don't understand why your car need to park so close to me.

Some of you guys need to chill out. I don't see what the big deal is with this one, at least you know he doesn't have any kids jamming the back doors into your car.

It happens all the time that I park all the way in a remote area and see either a truck or another car parked right next to me.
Parking in a remote area is still not going to deter idiots. Once, I came back to my car and someone put a dent on my front hood something with 2 prongs which penetrated the primer. I just hope karma returns them back for these acts many times the miserable morons.

Somewhat related: Wife's Highlander died in a friend's driveway. AAA arrives, I point to the car, he saunders up and leans on my buddy's truck: "Sorry, can't pick it up from the driveway." And just stands there looking at us. Seconds pass, then "We did one recently, tore up the driveway with the bed, had to buy a new driveway"

TF??

"Well, if I put her in neutral and let her roll back to the street, THEN will you haul her up the bed????"


ECU is going to be replaced under extended warranty (fingers crossed)
