I definitely understand it will get rock chips, but the amount of chips on it already is ridiculous. Hell even the headlights have chips in them. My only hope is I smash a deer within the next few years and it completely destroys the front end so I can get a nice new paint job.

 

The passenger side where the shop repainted the doors to fix a door ding doesn't have one chip that I can find yet. The other side is a mess.

You think yours is bad? I just hit 100k and mine looks HORRIBLE must have over 1000 Rock chips on the sides, hood, headlights, roof, headlights are beyond chipped, it's a mess. Stopped caring about the paint a year ago! Great car aside from the paint.

My Silverado was all chipped up before I even hit 50k miles. Didn't think it was possible to cheap out on paint, but this thing will chip by looking at it wrong ...

Met a strong black widow today in the garage. Little bastard survived Dupli-Color caliper cleaner, PB, WD-40 rust release, and finally died after some Simple Green powersports degreaser.

Ever heard of Raid? :lol:

I can believe it. This is by far the worst paint I have ever seen on a vehicle. The rest of the car is great, and I love driving it, it's just a bummer that the paint is this bad already.

Got my first place to myself. Better late than never.

 

Kinda sucks it only has one garage stall, but hey, there's a reason they make storage units!

Congrats man! I'll never forget the day we moved in here. Was riding high, for sure. Best thing that could've happened. :cheers:

Thanks dude! It's a little duplex, but for what I got it's a nice setup. My dad was even a tad impressed....says I got lucky.

Took my 43 year old 2-stroke Yamaha RD350 to Laconia, NH for Bike Week. Out of my group, I was the only one who didn't lose fluids on that trip, except for the brand new BRP trike. :D

 

My buddy's Harley ate a thrust washer in the clutch push rod on the right side of the bike where the clutch cable goes into that cover (Evo), in the middle of traffic on 495. Total nightmare! Bumper-to-bumper traffic with no clutch.

 

We were in the worst possible spot imaginable. Had a cluster**** of 3 lanes coming into 495 on our right … so we were trying to fight through that to the shoulder. Didn’t make it. He stalled in the dead center of the packed highway. He tried using the starter to lurch the thing to a start - didn’t work. People are melting down behind us. So he fires it up, and jams it in gear. Lurched violently about 3 feet and stalled again. Tried again, and this time he took off like a missile, almost broadsiding this woman who couldn’t wait - was inches from her door. Long story short, every time traffic stopped we had to hit the breakdown lane. We actually made it 80 or so miles back to Worcester like this!! In Worcester, a left turn light just turned green as we were ready to run it, lol. Then we blew a stop sign to take a right - luckily nobody was coming. That was a first! Got back in one piece! :D Always an adventure!! :lol:

I would like to buy a Harley someday. On the other hand does anyone have problems with there paint blistering in random spots all over the truck? I was polishing my truck the other day and came across 18 spots were the paint is blistering and seems like some are actually dings coming from the inside out. So after seeing this on my 2013 Silverado with 59 150km I went and looked at out work trucks at work two 14s@ ones a 16 all three have blisters aswell. I called GM Canada and my trucks going in tomorrow and GM wants the dealer to take lots of photos.
