Finayy's KBP

Hello folks,

I've been a lurker here for some time decided to be a little more active on the forum.

She's a 07 Type S (Auto ). Bought it with 107k on the clock and now has 124k. I haven't done much other than a Viper SmartStart.

Here are some photos when I bought it.










First wash lol:















Then someone decided to back their pickup into it



After this, I was debating on getting rid of the car because the air and all the maintenance work that needs to be done (timing belt, motor mounts, repair/replace two wheels, etc). But I've decided to keep her and fix her up.

Let me know what you think or any suggestions.

Thanks

Finney

I love that shit...the car is cool but having your daughter help out is the best.
I do the same with my 4 year old.

Biggest question...
have you taught her that wheel brushes don't go on paint?
Since she was about 2 she would come and tell me...Daddy, this brush is ONLY for
wheels okay...don't mess up the paint!

Good point. Something that I completely forgot to teach her. She gets more excited hosing the car down with water.

I'm anal retentive.
I did it so I wouldn't have to yell at her and give her that feeling
of Daddy is so disappointed later in life.
Plus, I'm a big time ahole.

really sorry for the late reply. I bought some tires for some wheels I had on a previous car but I think either the spacers I got are junk or these wheels were never meant to be.

I might just get transmission fluid and replace that this week.

@zeta notice how when I addressed her directly and apologized and explained she completely dismissed.
Typical "Karen" triggered pain in the ass.
and I was right...she was looking for attention.
She just didn't like getting called out on it.

True-dat!

@rockstar143
Speaking of 'attention' and 'calling out', check out this poor misinformed newbie soul in the thread below. His absorption of the slight delusion the seller spoon fed him when he bought the car is comical. He thinks he has a '45-60 additional HP' gain on 'ceramic coated cams', lol.
