maddmaxx ★ Posted January 22 Author Share #4 Posted January 22 Just now, JerrySTL said: That will buff out. Maybe. Nope. The paint is flaked off down to bare metal and there is a minor scuff of the front edge of the door when it opens and closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. 40 years ago when we were younger... that all would be steel an it would most likely could be fixed with no new parts. Now... OMG @maddmaxx I'm betting on at least 2K to get this fixed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 2009 Nissan Cube I don't know how much more than this I would be willing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted January 22 Popular Post Share #8 Posted January 22 The light doesn’t look damaged. Drive it like that, call it patina. It will make the car easier to find in a parking lot. I hate all these look alike cars, I’m always trying to get in the wrong one. The other day an identical CRV parked next to me. If it wasn’t for my kayak racks I might have got in the wrong car. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 22 Author Share #10 Posted January 22 Youngest son's 2008 forrester has little but paint damage to the plastic bumper on the rear of the car. Probably no repairs there other than buffing it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 22 Author Share #15 Posted January 22 There are very few Nissan Cubes or safety green Scion IM's hanging out in parking lots. Fortunately my cars are relatively easy to identify. My sons want to name them ugly and uglier. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was in there a while. I started to get nervous, and was just about ready to see what was going on. Then WoBG gets out of the car. Apparently she had a conversation with the woman in the drivers seat about how similar cars are today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted January 23 Share #17 Posted January 23 3 hours ago, Longjohn said: I might have got in the wrong car. Once WoBG and I were shopping in downtown Chicago. I was parked in a large parking garage. We walk down the ramp to the car, it was kind of dark in there. I had a 93 dark green Dodge Intrepid at the time. I open the trunk with the key. (Most cars used keys back then.) I stop... WTF??? I close the trunk. WoBG asks 'Why didn't you put the stuff in the trunk?' I tell her 'I don't have any golf clubs, and I don't have golf clubs in my trunk.' I look... a few more cars down the parking ramp was a green Intrepid. That's when I notice the other one was black. Yeah... my key opened the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
