Seriously annoyed at people costantly ignoring advice regarding cars.
Last year i got the gf a mint Glanza, she had it for 8mths but due to long distance travelling and needing bigger car i sold it on to a mate. Now at first things were great, he spent over £3k on upgrades which i ordered & helped him fit. Then he went TD04 on which i advised him to get better discs & pads but he's the type that cleans the car every day of the week.
Now i only drove the car once since he went TD04 and i struggled to stop the car on a straight road, he constantly hits fuel cut everywhere he goes and i got a call other night with suspected turbo gone but lucky enough it wasn't.
I offered to service the car for him as a favour as he did some plumbing work in the house for me. Yet again he has ignored me and went n bought TRD oil filter, expensive oil and few cosmetic bits and handed the car over to a mechanic to do all the work, fair enough if he didnt want it done for free.
Sorry for the rant but i can see this fella either ruining a good car or killing someone. Latest is he's getting a roll cage done and upgraded clutch even though he don't need either and could do with brakes that actually work.
