Step Away From The Car...before I get
my can of mace 8) My CF not a week old and yesterday I am giving her first bath, an admirer comes along and checks out and asks if he can look inside the windows, I say sure...no problem. He goes along his way and thanks me for letting him look at my car. I'm at the drying stage and another onlooker approaches and I have the doors open drying the jambs and the windshield wipers up to get the water under there...this guy is drooling over the inside and then says: "Can I look at the motor"...I'm proud of my baby so I pop the hood and before I had a chance to put the windshield wipers down this jack as* opens the hood and POP go the wipers back to the windshield :!: :!: You gotta be kidding right...no then he says, Ah, they just popped back. :shock: I said, "The hell and I look close at the edge of the hood where they hit it and sure enough paint is chipped off :!: :evil: I am total bumming and said, I'm not believing this...He says, Ah, didn't they give you some touch paint at the dealership. I looked at him and said, F832 touch up paint, I'm going to have to get this fixed, are you going to pay for it :?: ...he goes, is it my fault :?: I go over to him and get about two inches from his face and said, I can't believe you just said that. Unbelievable...what kind of man are you, dude I'm out here cleaning my car and wasn't about opening the hood :!: At this point I'm ready to kick his a22...Then he goes well get an estimate. I get his name and business card with a cell number supposedly his...I call the dealership and ask to bring it in for an estimate on a chip and they tell me the paint guy comes on Wednesday...I'll bring it in then and meanwhile I go back outside to pick up my bucket etc and this jerk is still out there so I let him know about Wednesday and he goes, don't worry it's a chip and can be fixed. Lesson learned someone wants to admire my car fine I'm going to tell them (unless it's a friend and I know 'em) yes it's nice, that's why I bought it...now step away from the car before I get my mace out. If he doesn't put his money where is stupid mouth is I'll take him to small claims. I took pics of it and went to the police station to get a report written up but the officer said I didn't need one. I will see what happens and sue him if I need to. I'm still in disbelief that he put his hands on my car.
