Like I said, I was halfway up jacking. I do use jackstands, but they don't fit until it's jacked up all the way.

80,xxx miles on my motor, oil light comes on.
Dealership replaces motor and 1,2xx miles later oil light comes on again.
So now I am on motor number three. Hopefully oil light does not come on again.

Got rear ended by a friend recently.

this thread equals fail..no pictures

any who

1. Got my five axis kit installed and ruined by MPH motorsports. They smudged some goo all over the gaps between the lip kit and bumper. Also horrible paint job and install.

2. MPH motorsports attempted to fix the goo by emerging the gaps with bondo. Result, months later the bondo ended up cracking.

3. Right after I got my lip kit some what fixed from MPH..literally 10 minutes after leaving MPH I got rear ended by some lady.

4. HAHA this one is my fault..as I jacked up my ride, I did not place the jack on the right spot. This caused a big bump on the driver's side floor. I ended up hammering the crap out of the bump to get it back to normal.

5. Got an Greddy TI-C exhaust...the exhaust ended up burning my rear lip.

6. Got a heat shield installed but the alignment is disappointing.

7. Rainy day..double parked outside so I could take a dump in my crib...right when I got to the toilet some lady started honking. Went outside to move my ride into a space to get out of her way and as I was parking I drove into some bricks. Some idiot decided to place a foot long brick as a space saver..I could not see the bricks but they ruined my rear lip.

8. As I was detailing my ride..I left painters tape around my rubber seals for a week or so because my Meguairs G110 Polisher broke...result was pretty much ruined seals. The seals bubbled up and became distorted. Had to buy new window assemblies for around 180. Still have to get the windows professionally installed.

9. Oh and I fell a sleep at the wheel, result was a scuffed fender.

My girl's tC has been through way worst.

I got arrested and had to go to court. He tried to sue me and it was a pretty open and shut case. I had purple property markers everywhere and he did threaten me when he saw me. He ended up paying for repairs, my court costs, and my 'suffering' lol.

I could not prove it was him messing with my car. I know it was him since his retarded aes lives near me... My only other neighbors that are not in my community are a good mile away. We shut down his shooting range mid last year because his customers were missing the targets and our houses were getting peppered with bullets and the neighbor's horse got shot.

The judge said I shouldn't be so smug and that being happy about shooting someone is not a good thing. Hince the 'still happy about it' remark.

EDIT: I feel bad for all these tCees.. tC's... tCs... anyways its a beautiful car and it sucks to see them destroyed. Those jack stands are not something to mess with. My truck fell on my dad while we were putting some seats in. Almost broke his sternum. All because we didnt secure it with anything other than the jack and a cinderblock, it was a quick 4 bolts turned into a pretty scary moment.

not much, but...

1. a literal hit and "run" by a horse and buggy

2. The first day i brought my car home, I drove onto campus for classes, and got a nice ding in my passenger's side door.

3. A mysterious footlong scratch appeared one day under my gas lid.

4. Got stuck right behind a line painting truck and got overspray all over my bumper.

5. Ran over a squirell and got a nice dent on the bottom of my front bumper (now covered by RS1 lip)

6. Lug nut fell off over an hour away from home...didn't have much choice but to drive on w/o it.

7. when i got the car fixed from the horse and buggy accident, the paint was completely off, and had to be re-done.

besides all the other dents/dings/scratches that appear out of nowhere, that's all i can think of right now.
