Re: Man, I am FUKKING PISSED
Mark, I feel your pain! I'm another one of those people that parks at the end of the aisle where no other cars are to avoid dings - it drives my wife crazy. I'm very anal also about the fit and finish on my cars. I bought a BMW M5 in 2003 from a reputable dealership and they gave me the CARFAX that it had no accidents and had been a one owner car.
I have those yard long three inch wide foam door protectors that stick on magnetically for when it's parked next to the Hummer or Corvette in the garage. I noticed it wouldn't stick on the passenger side and using a magnet I found a spot 18 inches in diameter that had been bondoed.
I was also furious because they said it was a one owner accident free car, and took it back to the dealer and they gave me a 150 mile brand new 535i loaner while mine was fixed with a new door. The dealer thinks it was damaged getting off the ship in Charleston SC and repaired without their knowledge.
My wife thought I was crazy because it wasn't visible to the naked eye even with a black paint job, which as you know shows every imperfection. I won't even begin to tell you how I felt for months when the neighbor's cat slid down and scratched with his claws the back of my original paint 396, 65 Corvette Coupe parked outside for only that night while I spray painted the garage drywall in the 80s. It was the only night it was outside the entire year except for my annual trips up to the Corvette show in Bloomington. I know I shouldn't get that attached to cars, but I do!
