yell and scream in private... hit a punching bag till the feelin goes away or ur hands end up without any skin left, those usually help, then just try and think of how to fix it without too much drama and keep tellin urself its ok, i can turn this into an upgrade of some sort

So far I have avoided this with my R33 this but my previous VL Commodore copped it twice at the same Big W car park in the same month and yeah I was p*ssed off :) . No note, no Icantdriveforshit in sight. So after a lot of choice words I fixed the scrape as best I could and ordered a replacement front bar for the other damage and it was off to the crash repairs.

Where I work one of the night fill guys came back to his car to find massive dents all over it. Apparently some drunk kids thought it'd be funny to run over the top of it.

Personally though whenever I park in a crowded carpark, especially ones with lots of shopping trolleys, I park a fair way away from the main bunch of cars. If possible.

I got in my car with a weapon and paraded the streets at 3am in the morning trying to find the person... only time I wished the car was whisper silent.

That was for a break in.. Im sure for a scratch id find the closest damaged car with paint and light it on fire.. or open it and perhaps jam a trolley inside it.. that would be funny to watch when they come back.

I hate people with no respect for others property. I give so much respect to other people and hope karma smites the rest down!

:P

on another note, if i park somewhere dodgy, or where the person in teh spaces near me are extremely close, i right myself a txt message with license plate and colour and save it in the draft section of mobile, htat way if i come back and find green paint then i know the jerk couldnt get out the space alright..

although i guess this doesnt help if ur there for a while and a few cars give it ago.

on antoher note, my dads car was reversed into whilst it was parked for a weekend in the airport security parking lot, int he veiw of two cameras, they security staff said unless it was stolen, they would not use the cameras to find the person responsible. :P

Do you think then, that there are usually 2 reasons as to why some guys (who can afford it) get a 'daily-driver' ??

i) a car that uses less fuel and

ii) one that matters 'less' if it does get 'hit' or 'keyed' ?

I do have a daily driver (VT SS) but i was in melbourne for the easter nats. I live in the country. I think other people should just give a shit about other people stuff.

my old car (VT SS) was parked in the side sttreet next to mine cause all my mates had parked in my driveway and some werent there to move cars so i thought it would be alrite, i came back in the morning and there was one long key mark around the whole car down to the metal and the bonet and the roof had 'F**K YOU' in massive letters also down to the metal. couldn't drive it anywhere cause people just looked at it in shock. I'm pretty sure i know who did it cause 2 weeks before a mates r33 had bricks chucked though the windows and another had her E36 BMW keyed and paint stripper tipped on, my work had to write it off

scum of the universe!!!

these people deserve a horrible horrible punishment.

But what makes me even angryer is that if somone does a burnout (for eg.) and no one is hurt.. the person cops a fine and disqualificatioin WORSE than a drink driving charge which kills thoughts of times more than than burnouts a year.

And.. if someone damages our car.. which have 10's of thousands of dollars spent on it.. the cop goes "oh.. umm.. yeah.. there isnt much we can do"..

grrr.. I know its left feild.. but I needed to vent

Shit man, that really sucks. :D And there's usually nothing you can do to figure out who it was. I just hope it's not to expensive to repair.

Ryan,

I like your COMPASSION mate. Keep it up - whilst so many angry idiots are keying each other around you!

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
