Come home last night, went and checked on my car. (engine out... etc). all was well in engineless porsche land

wake up this am.... amber chunks of plastic by my car....

someone destroyed the left euro tail light on my car.

no body damage... just a broken tail. (kid on bike? football? )

I hate people. Leave a note for pete sake. come ring my door bell. How do people not understand courtesy and respect and responsibility?

Anyone have a left euro lens for less than a first born? i have trade material too..

That seems to be the one that gets it too. My left euro tail light was also destroyed. However, the amber portion survived with one small crack. I was going to try piecing the US inner to the euro outer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Sorry to hear that Aa. Unfortunately stupidity isn't the problem it's either carelessness or meanness. Stupidity may be inherited but human decency is taught and it seems more and more it is rarely taught. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Dan: I've got a singleton driver's side euro that you can have. It's not perfect, but it would beat trying to piece something together.

edit: whoops, sorry. I just went out and checked it, and it's a passenger side lense.

Damn, but it does support my theory that the driver lense always gets busted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm sorry to say it's funny how history repeats itself... right rear tail light, summer of 76, someone cracked my Dads' while he was parked at work. No note, no nothing. The old man was livid & I went junkyard shopping & picked up a new set for $6.00 for both. I also find it amusing that the second half of my story is not likely to ever repeat itself.

I don't think it is stupidity Aaron, they did it without you catching them. I think

it is more about what you mentioned second... respect and responsibility.

Oh dude!! Was that YOUR car? (Sorry, bad joke). I hope I never catch anyone vandalizing my car. I don't care about the car so much as I don't want to go to jail.

i hate it. avoid Behr brand stain like the plague. didn't get it was a latex based product (more or less paint) until it was down. i'll start pulling up the finish when the temp is consistantly above 50* and go with a penetrating oil. that latex crap is only 2 years old this summer.

Man... Behr is crap... that is the understatement of the year. I have done my deck twice with that crap in three year. Only been six - eight months and it look like shit again.

I think I am going to go with Flood's 10 Year warantee stuff. 'tis spendy but man do I hate staining the deck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

yep $$$$! but add on the removal product and doing it every year(i could have done it last summer, @ 1 year down), the labor involved and frustration...you're ahead of the game. i opted to let the weather work on it one extra winter. seems to have worked.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I did my deck around the pool with Behr also....lifted in a year.......called the manufacture and had the local rep come out.....he told me the deck was too close to the ground and the moisture from the pool pushes the stain up and off the wood.....I could have saved all that money I spent on cedar & stain and just bought preasure treated for 1/2 the money....it works great on fence boards tho

Sikkens makes a deck stain. Higher priced and a 3 stage process but gaurenteed for 5 years. Good stuff but kind of a pain to use. Sherwin Williams also has one I believe it is called Cuprinol. It too is good, not as hard to deal with as the Sikkens and a lot cheaper.
