Well the wife`s Taurus was lookin` mighty spiffy what with two coats of UPP on it and routine Spray and Wipe treatments. We decided we`d keep it another year or two so I put all new Brembo rotors and Performance Friction pads on it, did plugs/wires and had an tranny seal leak fixed. Then I come home yesterday only to find a 4 inch, through the paint scratch on the driver side rear quarter and another 3 inch gash on the same side rear door.
Turns out my son was riding his bike, lost his balance and did the deed. I knew almost immediately what it was given the height and look of the scratches. At dinner I asked "what you guys do today? Did you ride your bikes"? My son promptly replied "I did but not Gina". Then I asked where they rode...the street or driveway? He answered the driveway. I asked if he had any problems around mom`s car. Right then he knew he was snagged! He stuttered a bit and said no. When I said the only thing that will really make me mad is if I find out he`s lying to me and that anything else is an accident. Then he fessed up and told me how he lost his balance, hit mom`s car and how sorry he was.
I didn`t yell but told him how glad I was that he told dad the truth. Then I said from now on no bike riding in the driveway unless you ask mom or dad to move the car/truck onto the street.
So now the question.....anyone have tips for the worlds worst paint touch up artist?
