QLD sucks balls..

[krisisdog]

QLD, suck my balls. I hate you.

Story: Go to visit relo's at Surfers for a few days, all's good on the way up, pull up in the driveway and my gfs bro in law helps with a few bags out of the car. Few hours later, he decides to go somewhere, so up comes the roller door, and back goes the current model Hyundai Sonata fitted with reverse parking sensors.
FKN CRUNCH!

Straight into the front drivers corner of the falc....

Doesnt look too bad to start with, so I wasnt overly pissed...busted indicator, bumper fkd up, but then the front quarter panel is bent up under the indicator.. go to jump in to move it, and the door doesnt open...... so I have to reef it. BANG goes the front quarter as it pops back into place.
Move it onto the front lawn, go inside.
Next day, go out to the car and I've got a farkin parking ticket!!! WTFBBQRZ?!?!?!?!?! I'm parked on their front lawn, but the ticket says I was parked on a goddamn nature strip! Theivin $%^&s
Start the falc up, radiator light turns on. *sigh* Bottle's dead empty... fill it up... drains back out... fill it up again.... the seam on the radiator on the passenger side's leakin a few inches belows the hose.... wtf.....
I figured it was from the bump, jarring the radiator or some shit. Either way, I had to drive home to go to work later that night (this night), so off I go lookin for some Stop Leak shit. Pull up at a servo, turn the car off, go inside and they dony have any. Fill the bottle back up, and go lookin for another servo. 10kms later I found one with stop leak.. bottle empty again lol.... coolant all over the servo lol. Pour it in, fill it up (with car going) and after a few secs the leak seems to have stopped.
Right, fuk QLD, I'm goin home.
Get to ballina (after a bottle refil) turn car off to get some food, come back and its dumped its guts all over the parkin lot. WTF you bitch.
Turns out that unless you take the cap off the bottle, when you turn the car off it pressurizes enough to burst the seal. Would have been good to know that.


Lesson:
QLD holidays sucks balls.
Hyundais suck balls.
Reverse sensors suck balls.
QLD.. sucks balls.

lol sounds like your e-series sucks balls.

[Dumpsta]

Sounds like a heck load of bad luck to me mate, dont blame QLD tho. Just blame the bro in law my Gf's brother dented my car too.. nice little near one with his ankle while I was watching.

[Frost]

could of been worse.

You coulda had an accident and died.
You coulda been impounded
you coulda lost your license

[OED666]

sounds like you caught the qld box car virus... lucky for me, cuz i live near surfers, and my car could have been re-infected again...

[Bipolar]

I had a knt reverse into my XF on a driveway coz he wasn't looking properly too. How fucking hard is it to check all 3 mirrors before reversing, seriously.

[Rollin]

Get your gf's brother in law to pay for the damage and the radiator = win.

I think you will find that life in general sucks balls, not just the bit of it you spend in QLD...

i told you having a dirty box.............................................................................................. car would lead to a virus

[krisisdog]

lol sounds like your e-series sucks balls.

Kester, my e-series was 100% before it went into QLD....

sounds like you caught the qld box car virus... lucky for me, cuz i live near surfers, and my car could have been re-infected again...

Boxcar virus sounds highly likely.... last time it ventured into QLD it recieved another parking ticket (week before this)... and then going to PC last year it had an epic gearbox/clutch and everything-all-at-once fail... I dont think its boxcars only tho anymore , its evolved to EFs...

I had a knt reverse into my XF on a driveway coz he wasn't looking properly too. How fucking hard is it to check all 3 mirrors before reversing, seriously.

Funniest thing was he kept saying "It didnt beep at me" to his wife. I felt like punching him in the head coz it could have been his 3 yr old daughter that ran out behind the car.. and he wouldnt have seen a thing coz he only looked in his drivers mirror. (I even doubt that).

Get your gf's brother in law to pay for the damage and the radiator = win.

I think you will find that life in general sucks balls, not just the bit of it you spend in QLD...

It's all covered by his comprehensive insurance so I get the get the front bumper, bonnet and guards resprayed as paints gone to shit on them, and new radiator... hopefully.
Life so far hasnt sucked balls... just everytime I go to QLD lol. better stop when I move there to go to uni... else the falc might have to go up for sale lol

[krisisdog]

Just got back from the smash repairs - he's putting in repairs to the whole front end, so my shabby paint gets resprayed - bumper, bonnet, drivers guard, and at the very least the top of the passenger guard. Nice.
Radiator will also be covered, so it gets a full flush and shit.
And, the flaking paint on my spoiler will cost like 50bux extra to get done at the same time, so she'll be looking pretty smick by the time its all done

Driving round with the radiator cap off sux tho...

[Bipolar]

Starting to sound like it might've been a good thing for the long term...

[krisisdog]

I think so

[blackers10]

were you parked on the verge or behind the mail box??

because some councils hate people parking on the verge as it "blocks pedestrians" etc
and the gold coast is full of asians so I can understand them hating it haha!! worst parkers in the world that lot

[krisisdog]

Streets a dead end, and I was parked like in line with the mailbox, probably 2m from the kerb. Theres no footpath or anything on the street.. bunch of wankers.

[rab]

aw mate, sounds like the brother in law is actually a bitch in drag ! and as for nsw cars getting tickets up here.... thats just confirmed all the shit i had the last time i lived here....5yrs ago, i landed in sydney (aherm, shitehole) and bought an 89 fairlane... drove it up here....got 2 tickets....one for doing 116 in a 110 (allegedly) by some stupid *uckwit cop wearing a baseballl cap, beard, sunnies, kiddies school shorts, football socks,grampa loafers and a bloody gun... .. then got done for laughing(well sniggering) at another one(same shit as before) when i put my seatbelt on as i was moving off from a kerb ????wtf ??? changed plates to qld.....nothing ever again.... twats ! could be worse... you could be driving the korean shitbox....

[blackers10]

your seat belt is suposed to be ON before you move... not moving accross your body while driving away...

[rab]

i know but how anal is that ???? aint they got better shit to do ???

[blackers10]

YOUR safety is THEIR number one concern sadly... otherwise we could have roll cages and mini tubs and fun stuff like that

[rab]

YOUR safety is THEIR number one concern sadly...

and you believe that ??? ...... REVENUE is their no.1 priority....and has been for a number of years.....that is FACT !! ..anyway, back on topic,i hope all ends up well....

[blackers10]

i was being sarcastic but it doesnt come thru on forums lol

[krisisdog]

Update - Got the repair quote from the smash repairs, totals in at almost $2500 lol.

Also, NRMA now sucks balls.
Quote and pics were sent in to them on the 23rd or 27th (Aus day w/e), they told me 48 hours and I would have a response..... None as of yet so I called em up, and the fella I was talking to tried twice to call through to the Newcastle assessors part and couldnt get through.

Sure do love driving around with no radiator cap and about 5l of spare water.
oh and no right indicator, it decided to fall out and now wont go back in lol.


Also did you know it costs $241 for one head light from Ford, and $86 for an indicator.

[Frost]

$2500 lol they will write it off! haha.

But you can request they use aftermarket parts to bring the price down

[krisisdog]

Thats what I was thinking, though I wouldnt mind a 2500 pay out n fix it myself....

[naughtyfalcon]

which smash repairer did you take it to,,the one on ryan street or the one over in villiers street.

[krisisdog]

Barry's on Ryan St.
Fukin insurance company wont tell me anything about the claim, its pissing me off.

[naughtyfalcon]

i went to him to get sum rust fixed,,he wasn't interested as it wasn't worth it to him, ,so i went to ryan street,,they a good bloody job..was quite happy with it. .

in case you aint realised i don't live in grafton anymore...
