I hate berkeley. *rant*

I just discovered a freakin'g scratch on my front bumper when i was about to drive out, and i just had it painted this summer !

my car was sitting in my apartment garage for 2 days.
and then, just now, when i went down, i found water marks on my car, and then i saw a scratch on my front bumper.
probably some f**ker was using the water hose next to my car, and some how scratch the paint off my car.
wtf man... i am so pissed right now
i called my manager and left a msg...

I just freakin' painted my bumper and lip this summer,
and now a scratch? WTF is wrong with ppl these days?

yeah I feel you

1 hit and run by a drunk frat guy on a friday night, $3000 in damage. I tracked his *** down a few days later, caught him and his buddy in a lie, made him confess. His parents insurance picked up the bill

1 keying (all panels)-$4000 in damages

Countless bumper scars

Also totalled my GSR on college because some sl00t was driving down college, speeding, in the rain, no lights on

someone, somehow opened their door into the middle of my front driver's side fender, and it put a crease in it...

I rant about these types of things with my friends all the time. I can't stand people that don't respect other peoples property or at least don't take time enough or care enough to not open their door on someones car

I just moved into an apartment for college, and it's amazing seeing how many cars here have bumper scrapes. I kinda fear the safety of my car. Atleast the only guy that parks next to me is a semi-car enthusiast as well...

Man if I had your attitude about that kind of stuff I'd have died years ago, I dented my hood the first day I had my brand new WRX.

This weekend it will turn over 200,000 miles, she still ain't no beauty queen, that's for sure...

its just a friggin' car dude- chill......

and like someone said- why blame all of Berkeley for your neighbors rudeness?

well,
coz i just painted it a month ago and i am not rich and cannot afford another paint job for her.

i blame the city coz this has never happened to my car before in san jose.
and it's the 3rd time since i moved here in 3 years.
the other 2 times were from on street parking.

I think the city of berkeley needs better management,
and the city sucks besides the fact that Cal is the only good thing about this city,
and maybe the food too.

i will definitely get out of here once i am done with school.

did you get his/her info?
you should ask him/her to fix it.

i don't think i would do that in the past,
but now i think i will do that everytime if i catch him/her hitting my car.
