My 87GTA. my dumbass friend thought it would be fun to do a doughnut on some gravel right infront of my car in his f150 with brand new rear tires. sprayed rocks and dirt all over my ****in car. chipped the paint from about 5 rocks in my drivers quarter. there was so much dust u coldent see shiney paint. just grey. worst of all the tops wer out and windows down so the enterior got coverd in dust. when i got home to vacum i was sitting on like 10 little pebbles and i found so many in the back seat and in my hatch area... even in the damn grills on the hood. so anyhoo i was so pissed i went home and me n my gf washed and vacumed and she even cleaned all the little places on the dash with qtips. so heres some pics of her after shes all cleaned.



my recently installed fog lights...there much brighter than the headlights. i thought the purpely/blue and yellow would look bad but it looks really sweet.


heres the chips in the paint


no its not all that bad the rest of the paint has scratches and chips but itsstill the fact that how could anyone be so stupid to do donuts in gravel around a nice car.

And then make him pay for touchups.
If it had been done on pavement, I'd be MAD, but I'd let it go, kind of, if a rock came up... But if you do it on a gravel road, the POINT is to make the dirt fly up to spin.. GAH!

If he was my friend, he'd be handing over some cash, or washing my car and touching up the paint. Your car still looks good though.

if that happened to me, I'd be down one friend... and my friend would be down the use of two gonads! Aside from the result of your friend's idiocy, it's a good lookin bird

I think the best part of that hole story is that his girlfriend helped him clean it up. She sound like a keeper.

thanks for all the good words guys. i asked my gf if its wrong for me to not consider him a friend anymore....she said "kinda, but make him pay for the damage". i did chuck a couple rocks at his truck, dented the hood aperently haha. while i was cleaning my car he called me and said he was "sorry", and said he "tried to apolgize right after it hapend but i just peeled outa there" whell yah, who wouldent. and yes my gf is a definate keeper, she understands what this car means to me, and she helps me clean it all the time.
