I cant get no respect, vandals... Options

[mikew04]

Hey all
I hate people



This was on the SIDEWALK side of the street too. No scuffs. As you can see the paint is damaged as well. I dunno when I will be able to get it repaired; what can I do in the mean time so that it does not rust?

I am completely sick of people not having any respect. It must have gotten kicked in or something. Both tires on that side were almost flat too. At least they are holding air...

I know someone is going to ask- no, I don't have any enemies. It's just what I get for living in the University District. Last year my car and my roommate's were broken into: my drivers side window got busted, system gone, still haven't re-tinted the window.. and they took my ashtray full of change. Roomies car got broken into over an old cell phone, and robberies seem to occur all the time around here whether walking down the street or someone breaking into a house. I get to deal with drunk hbkabfeahwbfaw student vandals or crack addicts looking to make a couple of bucks. Or fourth graders throwing rocks at an elderly couple. Just the big city I guess..

Sorry for the worthless info. Gah. /rant
So, uh, anyone have a silver celi with the right fender for sale?

well, you may even be able to plunge it out... (use a plunger and a glass of water) As for the paint chip, any kind of primer will keep it from rusting. Even the cheap spray primer. But be careful with that stuff, If sprayed too close, it'll run. if sprayed to far, it'll f- up your existing paint job.

If you can't afford to fix it now, *Personaly* i would try to plunge it out, or take it off and push it out, then tape off that section where the chip is and spray prime it. Use alot of tape and tape of a larger area. just use a SMALL amount, IE: just 1; half second spray. You can let it sit for ten min. and spray a silver coat over it so it's not so noticeable...

It's not a permenent solution, but it'll hold till you get the money to have it spot painted by a professional.

This isnt the correct answer as to how to fix it, but it's what i'd do if money was tight. Plus if it going to be subject to future punishment, why spend hundreds of dollars just to do it again.

But when you move out, You gotta get it fixed up to all its glory again!!
