Hilbert's Car Museum, '95 Cornparker, '05 Twongi 🌸

God dang, that’s clean. Gonna be his new daily?

Oh no, she dailies a 2019 Mitsubishi Space Star (or Mirage, as they say across the pond). That’s her summer car. They fucking love road salt over here and it’ll make the car go from red to brown real fast.

We’ve pretty much sorted out the mechanical issues already so I’d say the biggest faults it has is the lack of trunk cargo cover, and the air controller unit is missing the A/C control knob.

Cool! Good for her! Where I am, it gets pretty cold in the winter so we also get a lot of salt. But our summers are very hot and very humid at the same time. So we get the best of both worlds. :grimacing:

In California it’s just hot. We haven’t had snow in our area in about 35 years

I felt like I can see too much from my front window, so I made myself some fur dices :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

So cute :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This gives me physical pain.

Nice job! :+1:

Oh, I rather quite like the French flag air duct idea. It’s whimsical yet very on par for a Twingo.

Nice to see some Luxembourg patriotism from time to time.

A 40-something guy walked past it and said “That looks really nice! L’italiano!” To which I replied “That’s flag of France but thankfully this isn’t a biology lesson.”

After that I realized that they don’t teach geography in biology class.

This motherfucking car is driving me crazy. And it doesn’t even fucking drive.

Changing the suspension shit, fucker is stuck as fuck and won’t leave without violence.

Happy now? Are you fucking happy now??? All this fuckery and I still got you out. Weakling.

Shit looking horrible , took it off.

Painted it, now it’s black like a, uhh… Black like the colour black.

I’ve been pouring my life savings of energy on these fucking brakes.

Had to replace the brake cylinder. Well that motherfucking thing wouldn’t come off. And when I finally get it off, it cuts the fucking brake pipe in half. Had to make a new one.

Bought a new brakes cylinder, everything else was fine so I just cleaned the old parts.

Edit: I nearly forgot the obligatory Peugeot pic.

Now on an unrelated note, some fuckers decided to cut down a tree right next to my Twingo. Unfortunately they didn’t bother letting me know, so now the twingo is covered in sawdust. I would’ve moved it otherwise!

That tree gave me great shade during the summer! Those bastards!

The End!

So! I washed the sawdust off of my car today, and I noticed scratches in my bumper.

Now, I’m no detective, but prior to them cutting down the tree the bumper was fine. And I certainly haven’t hit anything. So I put 1 and 1 together, the answer is three, so I called the maintenance company to ask about the tree. They confirmed that it was indeed cut down, and gave me an email where I can voice my complaints. I sent them a really kind e-mail (no really, it was actually a kind e-mail), and asked them to reimburse me for the cost of repair. Which was 11,81€. Thats 4,49€ for pink spray paint and 7,32€ for driving to the spray paint store. It’s total of 12,4km and in Finland one kilometer by car is worth 0,59€. Much to my surprise, they actually did pay it.

So! I got my spray paint and painted the bumper. Again.

Unfortunately, I feel like the shade of pink is slightly off. So what I might do, is remove the bumper and paint the whole motherfucking thing pink. Any suggestions? Should I keep it pink/black or go all in and make the whole bumper pink?

I can’t actually see any discoloring in the paint. That doesn’t say much for a cell phone photo though.

If you painted the whole bumper pink, then you wouldn’t be able to bump stuff without scratching it again. But like if you can get whoever bumps you to pay for it then that’d be great!

Yeah I can’t see it in that picture either, I took it from a good angle, I must say. It’s clear in person, though. Either way, I feel like painting the pink stripe again to get rid of the discoloring. However I’m kinda lazy and I kinda don’t want to cover the bottom half so I might just sand it and paint the whole thing.

In general that car gives me brain damage, but I think black and pink would be better than just pink.
