Fed up Rant

So I'm a little peeved. About 3 weeks ago I went to go take my wife to work and what do I see? the front drivers side quarter panel just behind the corner light is squeezed in and white paint "accenting" my blue anthracite pearl. :mad: The paint was rubbed off easily, but the dent is still there and my corner light now has a crack. Then this morning, on the same side, my side marker turn signal is missing. WTF!!?? I know my car is way far from immaculate. Its a 2001 b5 and shows the scars of being in NYC; but it's new to me. I feel like its a lot of aggravation trying to have a nice car in NYC. (not that mine is nice - it's a stocker for now) It happens that I was planning to switch to aftermarket headlights, corners and side markers but this just makes me think twice. So I'm angry at what happened, but in a way more angry at the fact that I have to think twice about modding my car for fear of what might happen to it while it is parked.

side marker lights have a habit of sometimes popping off at high speed. that is what may have happened to it.
When I'm in NY with my car, I never leave it parked without me either being in it or a meter away from it!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. :(

No it was there for sure when I parked on that Saturday. I didn't move it on that Sunday at all.

Haha I wish I could do that, except I live in the city.
