Wrap your Stinger

[Tangent52]

Thanks MerlintheMad now I’ll have bend down and take a look at mine. But I am glad I’m not the only one. I’ve got a feeling that wrapping a car is an art.

A monsoon came through yesterday and took a 4 inch diameter branch from my neighbors tree and tossed it onto my car. The PPF had a couple of scuff marks but the tree branches never touched the paint. Well worth the money. The “trunk” of the branch poked a hole in the headlight. I went and got estimates to replace the damaged vinyl and the headlight today. $700 for the wrap and $1,171 for the headlight. OMG, I’m glad I’m not paying for it.

And here I thought "extending an olive branch" was supposed to be a gesture of peace... Think I got your storm on camera though.

Right over my house.

Just goes to show - NEVER park the cheaper car in the garage

My wife’s Honda and my Harley. She feels safer pulling into the garage.

Your avatar is so appropriate right now.

The more expensive vehicle(s) should be in the garage.

Do you realize what it would cost me if the wife wasn’t happy. After all I got the car I wanted.

"Happy Wife, Happy Life", is a lesson I learned many years ago in my marriage.

I was just about to say ^^^. Our "financial babysitter" (aka investor) warned me with that aphorism: when I was demonstrating stubbornness vis-à-vis how to spend our money: i.e. NOT on a lot of traveling. Heh! I have compromised: and now I drive my wife's "stuff" to where she is flying; and it's a lot of stuff, trust me. But the Stinger is perfect for my self-assigned task of "logistical support" for the traveling grandma. And, she has compromised with me, and doesn't go on all the trips that she dreams up.

Understood - I'm in the same boat - and I got the wife the car she wanted. Well, anything faster/zippier/smaller than her '15 Town and Country. She's been driving minivans since the kids came along, and they're narrowing the streets around here to get bigger bike lanes (it makes SOME sense, since I was always afraid to bike the older lanes in traffic, but is still annoying for cars).

So, she got a certified '16 GTI (base w/ DCT) about a month after I got the Stinger. She's happy: it has plaid heated seats and a nice radio - two things she REALLY likes. Enough that for now, the Stinger's getting the garage. We'll see what it's like when school starts again and/or I clear the old Subaru off the driveway.
