Default Absolutely pissed!

So landlord is replacing fence in the yard, I messaged him yesterday letting him know ill be home all day today and to let me know when he is coming so I can move the Celsior. Well he decided to say **** that and just start unloading fence anyway. without letting me know. Walk back to move the car and what do I find but this ****ing beauty...

So now the car that has been in the united states all of 1 week already needs to go to body shop to have the rear quarter resprayed, Hopefully they don't have to spray the whole car to get the pearls to match based on age of the original paint. To say I am pissed is a understatement the damn title and tags haven't even come in the mail yet...

Landlord is paying to have it fixed, but still reminder to everyone make sure your cars are in a safe place from absolute morons that have zero clue nor respect.

just the lack of respect... clearly he had an old BMW that was always broken while his neighbor would drive by in the perfectly working LS

at least he's paying for it

Damn I hate people like that. They just don't care about other people's stuff. To him it might be just a car but to you it's everything, or you wouldn't have asked him to tell you when he was coming so you could move it so stuff like that don't happen.
Stuff like this is one reason I'm holding off on buying another car. (Til I move) Where I park mine we used to have 5 cars in the row. This landlord bought the place a few years ago and painted lines for 6 cars. You can imagine how many door dings and dents are in my car from the idiot next to me. Hope they can match up that pearl white for ya.

Absolutely, I'm almost certain they are going to have to respray the whole car, its almost impossible to bland this even with new paint, let alone 25 year old paint. I'll keep you guys updated once im able to get it to a shop, right now i cant even take it to get estimated because im waiting for tags to come in mail and lord knows how long thats gonna be.
