huh? aren’t you an IT guy?
Honestly, I dont really see anything inept about what the Mazda guys said to you. You rubbed a sharp piece of metal against your car for 2+ years and strangely enough, it rubbed through the paint.
geeze… odd that you didnt pick up that little tidbit in your 10+ years of body work experience.
while you were busy in the body shop, you probably missed some chemistry classes as well, so here’s another little fact for you: bare metal in a moist climate will rust!
whatever… its a daily driver in pittsburgh. its going to rust. dont be so rough on the jdm ford kids because you got a rust bubble.
