Meanwhile take a tip from Buddha; the minute you drive off after delivery start calling your new car, "My old Porsche" because everything new wears out and gets banged up no matter what we do.
+1. Been there and doing that.

Yeah, there are some who are so frazzled with jobs, kids, other stuff that they leave the carts and just drive away. A few are just plain lazy.

Until I'm walking with a cane, I will take my cart back every time. Other times I will take the nearby loose carts with me into the store.

People should look at taking their cart back as exercise, we could all use a little extra.

So you guys are taking your 911s for grocery shopping?

I'm shocked.

I thought that you bought them because you were track junkies.

Make sure to get that heal and toe perfected for that entrance into the mall parking lot, LOL!

I enjoy it every time I drive it too. I just thought it was funny to have so many people admit to using the car for such mundane tasks and then look down upon those who do not drive a 6 - speed.

I love irony and this is a textbook example.

A good rotary operator could get that. Seriously, if what I'm seeing in the pics is what is there, a rotary master and cans of touch up paint and clear coat should do it. It won't be concourse but only an expert would spot it and even then only if they were looking for it closely.

The key, in my experience, is to clean the wound for paint application, apply the touch up paint expertly and let it dry thoroughly, then let the rotary guy buff the whole area with mid cut, or heavier, and an appropriately aggressive pad. This will cut the physical imperfections off the top of the touch of paint AND buff out the whole area. Then finish with clear coat touch up and repeat.

I had it done once, in that order, and it looked great... color was metallic navy blue.

I thought we all bought these cars for cruising babes in the Walmart parking lot, is that so wrong?!

I look down on people who don't drive a stick.
I also look down on people who garage their cars for the winter, and those who only drive their cars at the track.

I guess, I'm not seeing the irony. Driving to a grocery store is its own unique challenge that is just as tricky as tracking.
