Some of you recall that i posted a couple of weeks ago in a very pi$$ed off mood about my rear bumpers being scuffed by some monkey drivers (on two separted occasions) a mere one month after i had that the bumpers fully and proffessionaly sanded, repainted and lacqured.
This morning i woke up to find (yep you guessed it ) my bumper scuffed again, this time so badly the black paint of whatever car hit mine wont even come off, its sort of embedded in the lacquer.
I am in a very despondent mood today .. thinking whats the bloody point of having cars that one can be enthusiastic and care about if someone else can so carelessly inflict damage on it this way. My car is not new, but it might as well have been (the bumpers were looking shiny new after the repaint).
I happen to live in a flat, which doesnt come with a designated parking spot or garage, so i have to park it in the street (like most London residents do).
My mistake is that i got rather attached to my car, and such incidents (scuffed pannels, door dings) tend to have an over-proportional effect on me. I now really wish i hadent bothered buying this car, and just got a 10 year old fiat or some other banger that i couldnt care less about, at least until i live in a property with its own garage/off street parking.
