My 03 already F*cked up! (long)

Well I was (really still am) a proud owner of a 4 week old 2003 Super Black Maxima SE (Titanium Edition)with 291 miles.

So here's the story (all happened this week)

I'm coming in my neighborhood that has a guard gate at the enterance, well coming in the other night through the gate, the damn wooden gate comes down on the roof of my new Maxima and leaves a nice white scratch across my car. This ****es me off the damn POS thing did this, so I go back and break the wood gate in half out of anger I hate those things!
Luckly I used to detail cars, so I was able to buff the white paint and scratches out of my Maxima's paint. So all's well here. Oh yeah, I already fixed the warped front rotors on top of it.

But get this, last night after work I go out to wash the Max, and as I was drying it up front, I notice a **** load of deep scratches and teeth marks on the front of my bumper below my drivers headlight...I'm like what the F*ck is this From what I've concluded was that a dog attacked my Max while it was sitting in my own driveway!!! The dog must have seen his reflection in my black shinny bumper and thought it was another dog and attacked the reflection (yes, dogs can be that dumb-ever see one bark at itself in the reflection in the TV screen) This went down when my car was sitting in my own driveway for Gods sake!! Can you believe this!!!!!!!!!

It ****es me off I already have to repaint a 4 week old car, and it has to come out of my own pocket too!!! Even if I went through my insurance I have to pay the deductable ($500)!

I hope I don't have a cursed car!!!!! Just venting!!

I know how it goes. I backed mine into a snow bank aside of my driveway. The back end lost traction as I began to back up the driveway and the paint on the left rear upper corner of the bumper is all spider-webbed.

whoa. what? You have warped rotors on a car with 291 miles?

I know the Max rotors bite, but not THAT bad?

Man I feel your pain. Something similar happened to me, not by a stupid machinary or dog but a human being ...

Just 2 days ago, somebody put a big deep scratch (7-8 inches) on top of the trunk, and several rubber marks on the lower part of my rear bumper on my car. The car was parked in front of my house that night.

I was so fricking mad. I thought I'm gonna have to pay out of my pocket because my friends said it's not gonna cost more than $500 (I also have $500 deductible).

Luckily I know this body-shop's owner, he's my cousin's friend. He said he's gonna take care of everything and I wouldn't have to worry about the deductible. phew ... Now I'm driving a rental 03
Lancer ...

And for that stupid **** who fecked up my car, I hope one day he's gonna get caught vandalizing and beaten the hell out of him ..
