Re: My car got molested!!! (Big Carrot)

There's a big difference between kids growing up in "car loving" families and those that grow up in the typical minivan household where a car is nothing more than a "kid container" where kids know they can jump inside, spill their milk, throw up their "Gerber Graduates", etc.

My guess is that your brother probably doesn't have any cars that he would care if he saw the dogs on, right? In that case, your niece was just trying to initiate *your* kid container! ;)

Big Carrot: I feel your pain

I had recently gotten mine back from the body shop (after some teenagers decided it needed some front end modifications :mad ) and was giving it a good wash. The car was wet and I was scrubbing the right rear tire (the last thing to be cleaned), when I heard this thumping sound. I stood up and discovered our dog trying to climb up on the hood :mad

After a few choice words at a high volume, I drug the dog inside and explained what happened to my wife. Then I believe my exact quote was "Do you want me to try to give her away, or do I get my gun....Either way she is gone".

My wife successfully calmed me down later (yes, we still do have the dog and she is in one piece). Most of my scratches were minor; Zaino's Z5 took care of them. The rest should some out with some wet sanding and buffing.

The weird thing is the dog has never jumped up on a car before. The good thing is that she realized she really made me mad and she hasn't even tried to jump up on another car since.

Re: My car got molested!!! (John Nowak PE)

Ah this reminds me of the work I had to do last night to get the scratches out of my hood from the neighbors GD, SOB, POS CAT! I HATE FREAKIN CATS!!!! Every time I wash my wife's Lexus (it stays parked outside) the damn cat is on the hood the next day. Being a dog owner, it would be somewhat difficult for the cat to just "go-away" but as my wife suggested, maybe a GIANT bag of catnip?

As long as it stays on the Lexus! ;)

I'd much rather have a cat on my car than a dog! Dogs are clumsy enough on the ground, much less trying to claw their way up your hood. The worst I've seen from a cat is a few paw prints and maybe a surface scratch or two if the car has just been waxed.

Re: My car got molested!!! (Big Carrot)

My brother ended up taking care of the bill. I don't know how, but I managed to keep my cool and not even yell at my niece. My brother drained her piggy bank and told her she was paying to have it fixed. I got a hefty discount, but it was still a lot more that a six year old's piggy bank's worth. And by the way, I am getting the windshield fixed at the same time. So I guess all is well with the unluckiest Corvette to ever roll off the production line. :rolleyes: I can't believe I actually had that in my sig.! I guess I should inlude kids too! :lol:

Re: My car got molested!!! (Big Carrot)

mf g/f's cat decided to get nice and coozy with the rear wing on my mustang. My g/f thought it was cute, she was laughing as she said "look at brit" (cats name). I look out the window to see that cat cruled up on the rear end of my car. I go nuts, bust outa the house slowly walk up to that cat, pick it up nicely and place it in the house. I just scare the crap outa it when ever I pull in (gota love 3" duals :D :yesnod: )
