OMG that sucks :(

Do you have any idea what is going on with it??

At least it isn't cold out. Oh wait...

which bike did you ended up buying?

Sell the car for cab fare to the bike shop.

Have you tried socializing your car w/ the new bike on neutral territory? Bringing a new vehicle into the group out of the blue disturbs a lot of the social hierarchy and if your car is the alpha-vehicle, it may feel threatened and respond accordingly. Maybe try taking them to the park, first, to get to know eachother and establish a peaceful dominant/submissive role before taking the bike to "home turf."

i'm getting the felt. it's practically a custom build!

+1. As we all know, cars are pretty prejudiced against bikes in the first place. You can't just go out and buy one and expect your car to be ok with it. That's just flat out irresponsible. Have a good long discussion with your car first and make sure he/she is going to be okay. I had a bike before I got my car, and that was ok. Bikes are a bit more tolerant of other forms of transport. They understand. Cars need to be let down slowly.

Your BIG RED metal gas hog is just jealous about your new green and black carbon pride and joy!

My cars always seem to run better after I ignore them for a couple weeks. Like some women; demonstrations for attention should not always be aknowledged.
