I was a nice guy..been in a bad place before and wanted to trust this clean cut "kid" (24yrs old)...now I'm a nice guy who needs to spend $600 for a new bumper cover...

Hope it works out better for you, but I feel your pain.
Damn, that sucks. I'd never have done that. Just like everything else in the world...if you can't afford it, don't do it. In his case he couldn't afford to drive and/or keep a reasonable insurance rates, which sounds like his history is what prompted him to begging for your understanding. Sorry man.

I've been looking to move away from the area because we are taxed to death here in the surrounding burbs but there's really nothing like it anywhere else. I looked into NoVA and there's no beaches except a few _hours_ away. DC isn't comparable to NYC... and the traffic is probably worse. Name another place that rivals the area in terms of things to do. Beaches in proximity, city life with endless things to do, great food... what more could you need?

Great 2500 sq ft houses w/ 3 car garages, motorhome parking, all on a 1/4 acre for under $250,000 for starters. The biggest cities I've lived in were Seattle and DC...downtowns are fun and all, but I'm a burbs kinda guy. I've lived in the heart of both downtown areas, and the stress of incredibly poor parking garages and/or bad parralel parkers kept me up worrying about my vehicles. Don't get me started on traffic Boise is definately not my last stop, but I could never live in NYC itself...and I get car sick, so no taxis for me

How about the Jersey Shore? Looks like a lot happening there...

Seriously, it pisses me off to see even the smallest scratch in my car, and on my recent trip to NYC I saw SO many cars with those detachable bumper protectors! I would have to have a real crappy car for city use, and keep the better cars for gettin' outta town.

So its being fixed now should have it back tomorrow or the day after.... Just an FYI, I went ahead and just did an oil change at 4500 mi ...I know they said you don't need it till the first scheduled maintenance (at 12K mi) but it can't hurt and I'm planning on keeping this car for a while. Cost $95 at the dealer.
