Most likely the latter
Thanks for pointing that out.

OP made it sound that everyone hates it but most of the posters praised him for doing it. Only one person in post # 28 called him an idiot.

Then he went through my old posts trying do dig any dirt on me and telling me to get a life. Isn't it obvious who need to get a life.

If you want to do that then great. Don't go dictating what is or isn't necessary. Transmission fluid changes aren't necessary if you granny your car. Why did you bother changing your Lexus's transmission fluid? Waste of time in my opinion but no body on this forum told you to go spend your time elsewhere. Everyone was supportive on your thread.

Either give better options or don't say anything. Beyond that I'm done wasting my time on people like you who are a part of car culture. I bet car shows and meet ups are a waste of time because family isn't necessarily part of the equation.

Please get a life.
OP can do whatever he wants.. His car his money and time. Im sure Aura OC loves his car as much as OP does.

Cars are going to chip with wear and tear. I take my car on any roadtrip. Its a joy to drive. When I was younger I felt the same as you and OP. I was anal and did not want to put miles and always protected the paint.

After owning about 15 or so cars, and bikes I feel vehicles come and go. A few of them I had got into accidents beyond my control, rear end, deer, theft.

I told myself. Damn from now on any vehicle I have I am going to enjoy. Part of enjoying it taking it on road trips. I remember looking back. When OP looks back he will remember the masking tape instead of a nice shiny car.

You can think what you want Vidur, maybe this is yours and OP favorite car or first car. But there will be more to come. This is just my experience.

BTW feel free too dig in my old post.. lol

I did not call OP and idiot.. It was what would come to my mind.. Im not bashing anyone. Just providing my perspective and experience. And I can almost guarantee you later down the road you would feel different about masking it.

This pic below was a memorable first snow trip. I would hate to remember it with masking tape.

BTW given all the rock chips on my hood and bumper and the fact that I can't spend a couple hundred bucks to fix it trust me I've been there and I hate the fact that I just didn't want to do it that particular day. Now I have an other wise beautiful car that has imperfections all over it.

Lol. Fine. Acura-OC, I don't even know why you started with replying to my comment. I wasn't even talking to you to begin with. I quoted bpowa to start.

That being said I love how I'm the guy with issues here when I've said nothing insulting or derogatory to begin with.

Either support or provide constructive criticism is something's off. Opinionated crap gets annoying. Someone may thing it was idiotic of me to paint my wheels a different color just because they don't like it.

We're supposed to be a community that helps other owners out by sharing knowledge not criticizing choices based off of opinions. Come on people!

Exactly the point I was trying to make. People can disagree and be cool about it not hateful. Hate, is the word that gets under my skin.

Wasn't referring to you bud. Haters can mean anyone who is disapproving in a rude manner.

Its cool to be critical but just like you, the word hate to me is what describes people being critical of someone else for no rhyme or reason.
