yes, schuey still has it. alonso knows it, too!

I have an odd question. Not sure if it's happened to anyone here before. Anyway, I was driving on the highway today, and some jackoff stopped on a dime right in front of me, almost causing an accident....screeching tires and all. Well, unfortunately, despite my normally good reflexes when smoking, my lit cigarette fell onto my seat. It burned the back of my calf as well as two large spots on my seat, then on the floor (not the removable rugs, the carpet in the car itself) :shamefulcry:

Has anyone ever had these kinda things repaired? A big problem I have is that my car is no longer made and the seats aren't 1 uniform color. They don't seem to be holes, but that hard-melted material kind of burn.

I'm sure most people suck it up rather than getting them repaired, but I'm really anal about these kinds of things. I think it looks like crap. :puppydog:

try looking in the phone book for a auto upulsterer (sp? :headscratch: :headscratch: )

Alonso, Montoya, and DC ( :shocked: ) on the podium on Monaco. And Ferrari keeps insisting Michael didn't do anything wrong(yeah, right) Kou, how's your seat?(you know what I mean!) I agree with krim, most auto upholstery place should be able to fix it. [/list:u]

Marco Andretti lost the Indy 500 on the final straight to that dude's name I forgot... :sweat:
Would've been pretty crazy for a 19yr old rookie to win the Indy 500 :shocked:

Still wanna see Michael win one. Sucks to try 15 times and go home w/o winning all 15 times :puppydog:

Damn, I missed F1 Monaco Grand Prix, looks like some fun stuff happened during qualification laps starring my all-time "favourite" Schumi... and lol Coulthard with RedBull finished third.

the on board footage of the 'incident' would suggest it was deliberate. shame as he clawed his way back to fifth in the race.

renault officially stating that they will stay in f1 at least till 2012 has maybe opened a door for kimi raikkonen. i still think he'll go to ferrari as they pay better than renault but it's interesting.
