Default Mishaps Thread come Share here

Well since our car is magnet for everything i though it would be interesting to see what kind of different damage our is enduring.

Well after 3 1/2 weeks old and 1,600 miles in 91E
An idoit Van beside me somehow Run over a wood or some sort and it manage to
tear the clear protection and bounce of to my driverside Door!
I guess it could have been worst if it manage to hit my headlight.

I ordered a touch up paint in lexus Code 1G0 for SGM $7.50




Post up people and Vent the anger out
have a nice day

Cool

Are you trying to say Mishaps Thread????

I thought you were talking about tread from tires flying off.

Please clarify your title

1) Picked up the car with 7 miles on it. At 12 miles, VSC and Check Engine messages popup. Bring it to the dealer and they keep the car for 6 DAYS waiting for a backordered part. Turns out it was a bad O2 sensor.
2) 3 weeks ago I get a door ding that takes a square of paint off the front right fender. touched it up with paint but it's still noticeable. Need the dealer to repaint it.
3) Today, get about a half inch rock chip/crack on the windshield on the passenger side.

Still love the car but sheesh!!!

Nice rock ship on the right fender. Touch-up paint helped hide it somewhat.

Dealer seems to use sand paper when washing/drying cars after they have been serviced.

An hour ago I curbed the oe 18" wheel and took an inch cube chunk out of the Dunlop's sidewall!!! Wheel isn't bad but the tire died hard. Only 1100 miles on the car, don't you hate that *****?! $230 mistake. Glad it wasn't one of my RS-GT's.

Hit a raccoon last month. Broke bumper cover and left lip. $1,700 total cost to repair, $500 deductible out-of-pocket for me.
