DAMMIT! Pulling out of a shitty driveway!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took a whole bunch of FRESH PAINT!

I figure it will not be the last time it happens.
The Streets in Pasadena are shitty and riddled with potholes!

Sucks!

Dang that sucks. I really want to get GFX for my car, but it's hard to think about with Tulsa roads here.. Although they are replacing 80% of the streets in this city.. So my outcome could be looking positive. Good luck to you!

Dr.Bender · 02-10-2011, 10:16 PM

I have been SUPER good with looking, I have even reversed and used other exits....
Just didn't look that deep to me and sure as shit, it was!

Dr.Bender · 02-10-2011, 10:16 PM

I just wanted a place to bitch!

I got the "I TOLD YOU SO" from my wife.....which didn't help.

Dr.Bender · 02-10-2011, 10:37 PM

I don't want to go out and look at it... Of course it is worse in my brain right now than it is, but any damage is still bad. I take sure good care of my stuff it is just frustrating.

Sorry...fighting back tears.....UGH!!!!!

Drago77 · 02-10-2011, 10:48 PM

Gm gfx or after market? Front or rear? I learned the hard way in my 99 as well... scraped the hell out of them buying flowers for my (now wife) on our first date... ugh! Gettin em on my new vert too... was hoping oem wasn't as low as the after markets I had.

I learned quickly... hills... its all about the angles!!!!!

Dr.Bender · 02-10-2011, 10:56 PM

You cans see it unless you are under the car, but still...

thanks for the support guys!

SS>GT · 02-13-2011, 04:58 PM

you think pasadena is bad???? Man, i constantly have to drive down Alameda in Downtown LA, and they literally have car engulfing potholes. i go to Pcc...i thought the roads were quite nice! lol

camaroitalia · 02-13-2011, 05:05 PM

aww man sorry to hear about this! thats why im worried about the gfx!

CaniacFan · 02-13-2011, 06:25 PM

That so sucks. I feel your pain... I initially wanted GFX, but the roads here suck and I know I would bang up the nose too.

Just got my first door ding on the passenger door, grrrrrrrrr. I hate it, knew somebody would hit me, but still pisses me off...

Good luck, sounds like a simple fix (paint only)?? Didn't damage it did ya?

CamaroVision · 02-13-2011, 07:05 PM

I was there last year and that is the first thing I thought of, man these roads/driveways are horrible, I couldn't even drive my car here!

Seeing mercedes/bmws all over the place all sporting their scrape marks on the bottoms of their cars, lol :(

Good luck man hopefully they keep together and stay hidden from normal view.
