Would rather have a dented car than drive drunk. Mature decision.

Totally agree but there are situations and places where discretion is the better part of valor.

that truly sucks man. I happened across a site where they are parting out 350's. I was looking for interior parts. They are really reasonable.

Looks like a Mule kick... A collision would have chipped the paint.. Either that or a Saturn hit her. Better than driving drunk for sure. Sometimes a night out will cost more than it's worth/ such is life.. Get a body kit now

My friend has a Toyota supra he has bit every dollar he has into. It's his baby. He pits about 100 miles on it a year driving it up and down the drive way to wash it. Total OCD. I alwas give him a hard time for putting 60,000 into a car and not driving it. So 1 day he decides to take it to 24 hour fitness and parkes in the old sears parking lot about 40 ft from 24 hour fitness. No 1 else is in the sears parking lot because it's closed. We work out and get back to the car and the hole car is keyed. I mean everything. They went so low as to even get his bbk and windows. Headlights. The guys at 24 said if he would of parked in the 24 parking lot the would of had camras on it. So parking far out is not alwas the best idea.

Don't drink and drive, the trick is drink, THEN drive. Thats why my car hasn't been ****ed up. If you do decide to get too ****ed up to drive, park it at a garage, take a cab/walk to the bar. Now that you've learned on your own mistakes

ps. I feel you though, everytime I park it on street, I have a gut feeling I'll come out and it'll be keyed. ****ing civic driving haters. I tell ya, every traffic light you see one of them mother f*ckers from across the street, hoping you'll park next to them so they can screw around with your car. Mine's black too, I already got keyed twice by parking it near a starbucks.... not worth filing insurance claim, and still costs lots of fix.

Haha yeah man. This is a Z forum and people are giving me hell for driving it around lol. I've put my fair share of money into this car too. Where would the fun be if I didn't drive it on the regular?

Yea after looking over the car a few more times it probably was a kick or something. Like Dr. Venture and a few other ppl said maybe a fight broke out. All I know is that wednesday the bar is giving me a few hours to check the camera footage myself.
