So, I was washing my car earlier and my Indian neighbor walked by and asked me;

Indian: "Hey, how much did you pay for your silencer?".
Me: "Umm, I dont have one?"
Indian: "This one." (uses his leg and kicks the tip of my Fsport exhaust)

I was like FFFFFF UUUU!!. I got so offended and almost punched his face.

Not IS related, but I was reinstalling some old parts on my G35 as I'm selling it this week, and dropped the aftermarket Gialla grille down the cement stairs (I live in an apartment) - before it was painted and flawless and now it looks like it was chipped by semi carrying pebbles.

I decided to pull a trigger on F Sport intake. I ordered it from Superstition Spring Lexus since it's in AZ, not too far from CA. 3 days of waiting and it's finally delivered to my house. However once I opened the box what I got was 2 hoses and few clamps, sticker, booklet. Nothing else in there (no filter, no tube...etc). I even took a pic of the box to post in "Look what I got today" thread. What a shame....fortunately my gf is not there to witness.

I'm getting pissed just thinking about it. It happened so quick I barely had any time to react. I was livid coming out of the car to exchange info but at the end of the day things happen and you can't do much more than deal with it. It's my second fender bender ever but god I hate driving, even seeing my car damaged


Heres a toast to the jerk offs... that never take a day of work off...

I bought my car brand new from Lexus of Pembrook Pines right near Miami and i live in SC because i bought my car through Fleetrates.com You pay a one time 35$ membership fee and there an agent that will help you find local dealerships in the certain car your interested in nearby states for the best price. So once they shipped me the car i had temporary plates for a good 2 months because i recently switched insurance companies during the process of buying the car and forgot to inform them about it, which caused a delay. I bolted on my license plates for a good couple days and what do you know, i got hit in my school parking lot while somebody was backing up and supposedly didnt see me. I just received a check for 780$ just to repair it but I'm going to take it out again to my dealership to make them replace it so i can get that quote and there insurance will send me out an additional 400$ At first i was frustrated because its a new car and wasn't sure how the new paint on the bumper would look like. But then the person admitted it was there fault so i filed a direct claim but later on they told me I'm not covered anymore because she told another story. After that i was very upset because at the time of the incident she said she was in a hurry so i took her info and let her off without calling the police. She is in my english class for god sake. Well i ended up finding a witness so they covered me. Theres my story sorry if its a bit long. I also have a T3i but still learning to use it in manual mode.

I think my license plate is unlucky so I'm going to go to my local dmv to get new ones soon =D
