MY first car and ive had it since 6/2. The first problem i had was insurance, im now paying 1900tpft + 110 tax + petrol . I found out the other day that i got mayo hangin around in my oil cap and ive been worried sick about that, im not sure when the cambelt was last changed so thats been running through my mind and today i was driving around doing a favour for someone, cruising through a 30mph at a little over 20mph and the steepest fvckin speed bump u ever seen appeared out of nowhere. No lights and no signs warning me, i couldnt brake hard enough and i have 10cm+ long split along the bottom of my front bumper. I seriously dont need this $hit at the moment and i have no clue how im gonna fix it!

It's a car  You will worry yourself sick if you keep worrying about it. They will always get damaged by some pikey twat, your will kerb you alloys and hit speed bumps -- corners etc too fast. You will also find yourself going way too fast over the limit.

Just get a new one if it means that much to you The fact is, it's a car doing 80 - 90 MPH and will get hit by stones etc. One of my fogs got smashed by a stone but i didn't complain, just fitted a new one
