Oh man! I can relate to this VERY VERY MUCH!!!! This thread just made my blood boil. :fire:
Dapat talaga hindi pinapahiram ang sasakyan. Just like what ILuvDetailing said, it takes a lot of responsibility to own a car. Pag nabunggo niya yan, "sowwie" lang ang madidinig mo. Even if they do 'repair' your car, they'd take it to the cheapest, sorry-assest, God-forsakenest body/paint shop they could find. Why? Because it's not their friggin' car!
I have hordes of in-laws like that. Buti na lang at hindi pa nila hinihiram yung sasakyan ko. What they do is they frequently ask my wife to drive them around the place. They'd invite us to lunch....pero kailangan sunduin si kuya ganito, si tita ganyan at si ate ewan. They'd invite us to go swimming at batangas, pero kailangan isabay si tito so-and-so. Damn friggin leeches!
Bottom line is... that is your car. You worked hard to earn it. And it is only natural that you take good care of it.
