CLeanATL

yesterday i spent a good 4 hours cleaning my car for the atl meet. so after the atl meet i drive up to my moms and my aunt and her 11 year old son are there along with other family. the 11 year old son is named Jake. Well jake likes to play around alot, and he knows how much my car means to me
yesterday before Jake

yesterday after Jake

BEETROOT

holy shit...how did he do that?

CLeanATL

i dont know he is not admitting to it. but every time the family gets together he does something (like throw footballs at my car when i'm leaving) but never this far

BEETROOT

are those actual scratches or marks you could buff off?

Smitty

oh my... i think I would hit the roof and wrap my hands around his neck.

CLeanATL

i dont know, i'm gonna do my best today to get them all out, but i'm sure some are there for good.

Chemmech

Same type of thing happened to me. I got a car cover to keep the kids off my paint.

paulff3

It's clear to me. You must kill Jake.

MYcarmensita

Looks like alot of surface scratching so some buff should be able to take a good ammount off, i am just baffled how the hell someone could do that to a car

MisterMehoff

you reserve the right to fuck that lil boy up...seriously. If your mom's aunt(how old is she to have an 11 year old kid) says you can't prove he did it, I'd wait til everyone is inside and scratch up her car and see how she feels about the same shit happening to her. That shit aint cool.

CLeanATL

its my aunt. i dont know what i'm gonna do. prolly just stay MAD

OMG... MUST KILL.. SOMTHING...

Maybe you can run over his favor toy or somthing.. :p

That just sucks..

Smitty

no sense in getting crazy with family.... but when you mess with a man's car, justice must be served.

Speak to your Aunt and explain the situation... tell her you will take the car for a few estimates and get her the lowest cost to get the work done...

Smitty

I swear, i keep coming back to this thread to read reponses and those pictures just make me want to throw up. :barf:

CLoe

Pay off some other kids and have beat the shit out of Jake! Hell I'll do it for free.

CLeanATL

CLeanATL

so my mom says to me "John your taking this car thing to far, first the speakers, then the tint, now the rims"......"its just a car"

nujunglist

fuck that...your aunt must know that Jake is a little hellraiser, and shouldn't have any problem paying to fix whatever can't be buffed out. If she fights you on it then, go ahead and stay mad, and light her car on fire. A liitle bit of arson goes a long way with blowing off some steam.

Smitty

OMG... I would have to first give Jake a beatin, then go after my mom for saying that.. ..j/k

UNCTYPE-S

damn what did he do, run by your car with a rake?

beerknurd

take it easy... it is just a car.

The scratches don't even look deep. Take it to a professional though (not doubting your abilities, but they may have better resources).

MYcarmensita

Seems like the most acurate description of what he did, shit i just dont get it

sixgearcl

id stomp his ass with a pair of cleats...

GINge!

looks like he rode his bike too close..handle bar end scratches... about 20 times. Christ... 11 years old, that's old enough to know better. Doesn't take much to wreck our paint, a cat on my hood did the same damage.

I used to visit a friend who lived in a real ghetto apt. complex. Serious white trash and I think everyone there had about 8 kids each. These kids had no concept of nice cars and the respect of other peoples property. So I spotted the two kids that appeared to be running the show within this little community. I paid them 5 bucks each at the beginning of the weekend and told them do not let anyone touch the car. I told them If they did a good job they would get another 5 bucks at the end of the weekend. Worked like a charm... They were ready to kill anyone that came within 6 feet of it.......

Why does our paint scratch so easily? For what the car costs you would figure that they could put on some scratch resistant paint.

Fabvsix

This is a reflection of a lack of disipline ! I would have that kids ass ! PERIOD ! My nephews and nieces SHAKE when I pull up !~ that's total BULLSHIT !

03typeS6spd

my god, thats sick... you need to snap that kid into attention and make him lick it back to normal...

Smitty

you can thank tree huggers that bitched so much about by-products and pollutants .

thats why we have the weak paint we have now-a-days

oneilc

Damn tree hugging hippies!

babyblue

Holy shit.... Man I would strangle that kid

ferizzo

Family or no family, I'd be pissed. Accident is one thing, but that looks like it was done with malicious intent. Just because someone doesn't care about there car doesn't mean they shouldn't respect the wishes of those that do (responding to your mom's comment). That kid deserves a beating, if it indeed was him. Take him to the park...I hear a lot of "accidents" happen there!

oneilc

... just like a red headed stepchild

BEATDOWN!

dallison

parents should take responsibility for their little fuckers. if my kid ruined some persons paintjob, you know who would be paying for it?




me!

you know why? b/c i value someone who appreciates nice things and if my offspring damaged it, they are my responsibility

dallison

btw i feel for you. i hope that kid has the reddest ass after this

oneilc

This kid sounds like a little spoiled brat. Also sounds like you'll never see a dime from his mother. Is your aunt the type of person that just doesn't appreciate anything?

...just a car.. HA!

Bulldog01

Damn straight!

Loseit

iTrader: (1)

give your mom the investment angle (which is true) Is that, if you go to sell this today you will get less money and have difficulty selling it becuase of the scratches. Also, if you know that I am that obsessive with my car you should understand why i feel the way i do. I dont go runnin around ruining the house etc. It's just a house.

edit: and it goes beyond "just car thing" the kid obviously has learnt how to respect someone elses property...today its just my car but tomarrow what if he goes around trashing other things.

car_lost

MDK... murder death kill.

Fabvsix

For Mom: It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks....

As for the spoiled brat: If you DON'T know any better, what's the point ?

Parents teach their children or do they ?????????????????????????????

He get's our point !

P.S. I would teach that kid some new tricks !
