Stupid Things Now Ex's have done to your cars

snopony · 24-01-2015, 06:21 PM

Just posting for a vent/ devilment... What is the stupidest thing that an ex or a significant other has done to your pride and joy?
I will start with A) Going back a while now, my significant other had a small anger management issue.. resulted in my first xb being reversed at high speed in an underground car park space.... only prob was, the falcon was on full lock.Next to a giant concrete pilon. yeh that didn't buff out.
B) different bloke....this time decided to drive my piece of american classic muscle to work. proceeded to get drunk after work and try to drive her home. 4 storey car park, curved circular access ramp all the way...... I'm sure he used the complete length of the guide rail on the way down as a......guide....brace.....sideswiped the whole car and both rims on the drivers side. All the way.
Anyone else come across these types, or, better still...why don't they come with warning labels and how to avoid them???
I have learned tho. My pride and Joy is under lock and key and only gets driven by me. Its easier.

Ouch, how long did it take for you to kick them to the curb after that?

Been lucky, never had anything done to mine.

way longer than I should have. Older and wiser now.

Bossxr8 · 24-01-2015, 09:03 PM

I had a physco ex who put numerous dints in a couple of my cars. Freakin' loon. So glad she's gone.

jmack · 24-01-2015, 10:04 PM

Sat in them.first of many mistakes

dirtyclevo · 24-01-2015, 10:42 PM

the mother of my child (when i was with her of course) .

has a uncontrollable anger issue! and majority of her behaviour was best described as random craziness.

apart from her physically abusing me and permanently damaging my face and body with scratches from dagger fingernails, trashing the house, destroying thousands of dollars worth of appliances and electrical goods and throwing stuff through windows.

she hit my car 4 times with a alloy vacuum pipe.

smashed my tail light with her iphone. destroying her phone in the process

smashed my drivers mirror with her foot

kicked my dash, damaging cd/mp3/radio, beyond repair

threw a brick at my car and it hit my rhd c-pillar and put a big dent and scrape down it.

She got worse as the relationship went along. and blackmailed me saying ill never see my son again, wtf was i suppose to do. one day i just packed a bag and left the nutbag. And haven't looked back! except to see my son of course.

there is plenty of crazy people out there. everything is great now though!!

I had a camry 3 litre manual, good condition, let my wife use it. After 2 years literally every panel bar 1 had a scratch/dint. One morning an old timer at a coffee shop asked her how she had managed to do what she had done to it.

I will start the ball rolling with stupid stuff I have done- having a huge argument with the wife-to get away from her incessant hounding with her chasing me into the garage, I reversed her car out the garage- forgetting to shut the drivers door....with a solid brick pillar taking real good care of the little Festiva's appendage

**TUF_302** · 25-01-2015, 11:19 AM

Women are nuts haha

cram_it_frog · 25-01-2015, 11:27 AM

My ex has got a drivers licence how she got it I have no idea she has got a problem judging distance.

one day she put the car in the garage and we had to jack the car up and put tilles with oil in them to slid the car left enough to get the car back out

I was lucky a mat is a panel beater he fixed the damage for a carton of beer

Adamz Ghia · 25-01-2015, 11:40 AM

Mine ran me over wih my own car. Not sure what hurt more, the damage to my car or the purple bruises down my left side...

Grippy · 25-01-2015, 11:25 AM

I've had a few that leave food and wrappers in door pockets and dirty/sandy shoes, can't stand messy cars. No damage though luckily.

66GT · 25-01-2015, 12:42 PM

Not my misses, but the mother in law. Every car she has driven into or out of her own extra wide double driveway has managed to make contact with the gate latch resulting in up to 3cm deep gouges from front to rear on the passenger side. Most cars have multiple scrapes in height according to the weight in the car at the time. The father in law has easily managed to reverse 2 18 wheelers & car side by side into the same space without issue. She is only allowed to use the driveway when there is no truck present, but still finds the gate post.

snopony · 25-01-2015, 01:10 PM

wow. I don't feel so bad now after reading these posts. And I certainly do agree with the comment how some people even get their license in the first place. I didn't find out until well into the relationship that the ex had in fact written off 11 cars before the age of 30. I do think that yes, I should have asked in the first place, but also is it lying by omission when they don't tell you..

bigwil · 25-01-2015, 01:17 PM

Convinced me to sell my XBGT now she's gone and cars gone and I want my car back, if anyone knows where's there's a walnut glow over silver XBGT please let me know

**supershifty** · 25-01-2015, 02:40 PM

Was dating this (now certified) crazy ***** with a daughter back in my early 20's. I doted on the 3yo daughter, she was lovely.

Had some wild mood swings which I put up with being inexperienced with girls - fail!

Felt her get out of bed early one morning and heard the front screen door shut, so got outta bed to see what was going on - she'd pushed my motorbike off it's stand and dropped it on it's side. WTF!

I challenged her about it and she said she'd heard something and went outside to investigate. I called BS as I saw the whole thing, then she twisted the conversation and said I'd been interfering with her daughter.

I got the hell outta there quick smart. Weird thing is that she was studying at Uni to be a psychiatrist! Very much that the lunatics are looking after the asylum in this case.

Cheers!

My missus has a problem reversing. She had an AU Falcon we used to have stuck against a low retaining wall on one side of a driveway (Not ours).

Then a few years later she got our FG XR6 stuck on the same driveway but on the other side. Had to call RACQ both times to get it freed. Luckily only minor damage both times.

Then she reversed down our driveway into an old man walking along our street and knocked him over. He was ok just a bit shaken up. Nosey neighbor called the police and we had an Ambulance, a Fire Engine and 2 Police Cars all arrive with sirens blaring. She copped a fine for that but I got her off after writing a letter to the local police sergeant saying she was normally a very good driver with no traffic convictions blah blah blah etc.

I only let her drive my GT if I have to and bought her the smartcar. She seems ok in that. I fitted a good reversing cam and screen and it is so small you can hardly go wrong reversing it. (Fingers crossed lol)

Cheers Mike

My first car, ex at the time damaged wheels by scraping against gutters against on her learners and when on her p-plates, damaged the front bumper.

Not real much damage actually

Some of these stories in this thread are funny, and yet disturbing

Im actually finding this therapeutic ....Phew its not just me! disturbing..absolutley.
The only side effect I have is my adrenaline levels go thru the roof if someone goes NEAR my car. Haven't worked out how to stop that yet.

P6LTD351 · 25-01-2015, 04:01 PM

The only stupid thing my ex did was leave me.

I must say, she always respected my cars and took care when driving the daily.

**TUF_302** · 25-01-2015, 10:00 PM

I sold my EL XR8 becasue it was a good idea apparently, Biggest regret of my life!

OCTANEBOSS · 25-01-2015, 10:19 PM

X thought she could stop a 1.5 ton car rolling down the hill, nearly nailed her but she didnt get a scratch. Hyperflexed door and a dent in the apple tree but nothing that could not be repaired.... she never was big on physics

and a lot of other things sane people do.

One time I left the hand brake off in my EF XR8 and didn't leave it in gear. It started to roll down the drive way towards the gutter, mate jumped behind it to stop it. I shoved my leg under the front wheel, kinda hurt my leg but the car survived lol.
We aren't smart sometimes when it comes to these things.

I was with a girl years ago who wasn't phycho but very blonde.

She tells me her car was playing up so I popped the hood to check it out for her.. As we were on the way to movies she thought I would make us late so she says no no and jumps on the hood... Locks the hood with 8 of my fingers locked in there....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Open the hood....

Then She took an eternity (or so it seems when your fingers are trapped) to work out how to open the hood.. I had a deep red line on 8 of my fingers and lucky not to lose them. She just giggled and thought it was funny.

Another time she took my XF falcon years ago and was putting petrol in it.. She said she drove past the bowser and had to reverse. But she opened the door and reversed hitting my door on the bowser bending it at the hinges.. It wouldn't shut.. Had to get new door and go to panel beater to correct.

A mate of mine loaned his rx2 Mazda show car to his girlfriend, it came back with no floor. The backseat on the left had no floor where the foot room is.. Just bare road.. She was apparently street racing (in 1990s) it and lodged it somewhere and took out the floor!!! No other damage.

God love em!!

i know there are some good female drivers out there, but fair amount of them are shocking.

and yes some shouldn't have a licence. and some don't have a licence.

my ex's sister had been driving for 12 years, but is yet to get a licence.

she had failed her driving test 8 times, and to this day i think she is still driving around on her Learners, ignorant *****.

Report her to the Police mate, she needs to be taken off the road. You could be saving the lives of others!

**Burnout** · 26-01-2015, 09:55 AM

My ex (Missus) was driving my car to town one morning, daughter in the kiddie seat in the back. "Oh look at the lovely clouds" the ex says straining to get her chin over the steering wheel to see the clouds.
Right up the bum of the car in front which had stopped to turn right.

Vincenzo · 26-01-2015, 04:16 PM

First one is not car related but quite funny, though I didn't think so at the time. She at home with the day off decided to clean the bike (Honda VF1000F11F). When I got home she was so proud off her work she said take it for a run - hell yeah why not. First set of lights changed prior to getting there and I had to brake heavy. Whoosh straight along the seat, up and over the tank with my legs pinned under the handlebars. When I eventually got myself free and back home I had to explain to her that you "DO NOT" Armor All the seat and what can happen.

Now the car part, when I started my business as a Defensive Driving Instructor I handed my Ex a pristine low Km EF XR6 Cobalt blue manual as I had my work car to run around in. It seems that to save money for spending on non essentials she lied when it came to servicing etc the XR. The result was in three years the car was never washed, serviced or cleaned inside. The vehicle now sits as a rusting hulk in her yard with just 142,000km on the clock looking like it had done several million kms.

Cheers Vincenzo
