Default AAAAAAAARHHHH!!! Paint chipped.

My wife drove her co-workers to lunch.

One of her co-workers opened the door and slammed it right into a brick wall.

Time to take my car into the body shop. *Sigh*

Had a long talk with my wife. Any ideas how to prevent it from happening?

She's the newest to the company, and her co-workers are taking advantage of her. They are not bad people, but they always make her drive my car. I told her just tell them "my husband doesn't allow it" But they'll probably give her a hard time at work after that.

Ouch... give her the car and buy yourself an IS-F ._. I'd cringe and feel like my "baby" has been groped on by strangers :/

Time for a divorce from the wifee.....haha. I have 3 gashes on my hood from a contruction truck that was in front of me on a one lane that was spewing asphalt debris everywhere, 3 gashes that went down to the metal of my hood. it looks like wolverine sliced it.

But at this point I got so mad that I just dont care...I would love to get a ISF or used BMW 3 series coupe.

Blah... everyone at her works love to ride in my Lexus :P

I should ask my wife to charge them for the ride.

Anyway.... that idea does sound interesting. I can give her my car then trade in her RSX for a IS350

In the mean time, I'm gonna take her into the body shop tomorrow.

I nearly cried when my wife broke the news to me

I need to find a good excuse for my wife to tell her co-workers so it doesn't happen again. Any good liars out there?

^^^ I can tell them that the car has never done the brake pedal recall, so it might go off on it's own any time.
