azn_angel_4ever

accsuperstar

i would be happy if the car is undamaged. its only a license plate?

And the moral of the story is.....

Deelover

license plates are bumper guards. I always use a clear plate cover on the front. They take all the damage and I just replace them every 6 months or when they get damaged. Just last week someone backed into my front plate... broke the cover but saved my bumper and plate, but thats what its there for.

Krazy_j604

i wouldn't even worry too much about it... the damage isn't that bad...

Brooks

Take the plate off, put it on something flat like a wood table or something and pound the dent out. If not just go to the DMV and request some new plates. They aren't that much.

Jason

I would get a new Mom...redirecting to car talk....

Dan Martin

In related news, I drove through some mud on my way into work today. How do I get it off?


Sorry but this is a pretty boring topic.
If we talked about every little ding and scratch we get soopa would have to upgrade the servers again to handle the load.

i wish my mom bought me my TSX...

a license plate and holder isn't that bad, wait till you rip your entire bumper off

iamhomin

Funny, because no matter how worse any topic may be, nothing's worse than PW'ing, which a lot of people do--constantly.

Mommy bought me a tsx, mommy dented the liscence plate...

Grow up.. sheesh

Mokos23

when i was your age i wish my folks bought me a TSX, but no, i was stuck driving a 9 year old 1988 Accord Lx-i when I was 17-18 yrs old. you should thank your mom for buying you such a nice car, you lucky sob! You're whining like a 5 yr old that only your front license plate got damaged. you're a man, you can get a hammer and pound it back to it's normal shape.

haha gfxdave99, that's hilarious

TheDuke

Geesh. Dan is right on target. Sorry bud, but sh*t happens, don't whine; be a man and take care of it.

On second thought; why don't you just pay your mom back all the money SHE put into buying YOU the car, and then you can dictate who will get to sit in the drivers seat.

xizor

"he" is a she, let up a little bit. if anything its a chance to teach a newbie how to take care of their car.

slats

Ok, let me get this straight.... Your mommy bought you a TSX and accidentaly did some MINOR damage to it and your pissed off at her!? First off, it's really cool that she drives your TSX, and secondly it's really nice that she bought the thing for you! You need to grow up and quit acting like a spoiled little brat!

Slats

Mokos23

you're just saying that because she's a lady, if a 17 yr old immature punk guy whined, you would say the same things :

i mean gfxdave99 and slats are annoyed at the comments this girl started in this thread.

slats

Yeah I'm annoyed! BTW, I currently drive an 88 Accord 5-spd. Just thought I'd mention that. It may not be a TSX, but I paid cash for it and I'm working hard and saving towards getting a new car. But at least if I buy a TSX I can take pride knowing that I worked hard to buy it. And if my mom drives it and messes something up I'll just have to get over it. People are more important than things. What the crap is wrong with people!!?!?!

Slats

xizor

and if she posted a picture you guys would offer to fix her license plate for her

i support teenager bashing up to a limit, but at least offer some reasonable advice on how to take care of the car and how to fix whatever damage there is.

[QUOTE=xizor]and if she posted a picture you guys would offer to fix her license plate for her



He has a point....that would probably change things.

TSX0rz

hey leave her alone guys, theres nothing wrong with her mom buying her the car, its not that big a deal, if your mom offered to buy you a brand new car at that age you would have taken it too, it doesnt seem like shes ungrateful or anything, she just loves her new car and it got bumped a little. its no big deal, just try to hammer it back straight and if that still doesnt satisfy you do what Brooks said and get some new plates at the dmv. man people get mad whenever they hear a parent buys their kid a car lol.

ange1

gals driving tsx haha kewl~

azn_angel_4ever

im sorry i got ppl really riled up about this topic, its not that im ungrateful (btw... i AM a girl lol) its just well... hm... i really care about this car, its not like i WANT it to get wrecked... if it bothers ppl that much, i'll collapse this thread

blaCk

gfxdave99

Ahh dont let it get to you.. flame wars are fun

But seriously, what people are ripping on is not your problem but the way it was stated came off as being spoiled and whiney even if thats not what you intended

If you would have stated your problem in a calm mature manner you would have had a less flaming response, thats all..

Did it crack the plate holder? If not just take the plate off and see if it will bend back, if it wont then either order new plates or you could get somebody more mechanicly inclined to hammer it out per previous post.

Jason

Now you're angling for beaver.

ricecake

I don't think it bothers people that much, but you have to understand that the TSX is what's considered an entry luxury car, and so a lot of people have worked very hard to be able to afford to pay for the car by themselves. So it's relatively easy for a post such as yours to incite a little bitterness. I'm sure that you're probably grateful for the car and for being so lucky to have it paid for by someone else, but people here have been in wrecks, have had their transmissions drop, etc., so a license plate bend is, in the grand scheme of things, sort of "small potatoes" (no personal offense to you).

For what it's worth, it's hard to learn about auto-related things if you don't have someone to help you. Some basic engine-related mechanisms are still lost on me, and I have a husband who has done engine swaps. You're pretty brave to come into a car forum and start asking questions, so please stick around if you can--there are really some nice folks here, honest!

Mokos23

flame wars are fun too, i agree, but whoever gave me a negative rating a**hole f*ckers, only cause she's a girl,

Just kidding. Good job your mom screw up your front plate. Maybe she's hinting you to remove it for good. TSX looks better without front plate
