    The Dreaded Skrrt: How to "MAQ Your Way Out" of Scratching a Mate’s Car

    Borrowing a mate's car is a massive favour, but it comes with a high-stakes unspoken contract: you return it with a full tank of petrol, and absolutely zero new marks. ⛽💀 This afternoon, Zweli shares two deeply relatable, stress-inducing personal stories about the times he borrowed a ride, accidentally added a little "custom scratch" to the paintwork, and had to figure out how to face the owner. We’re breaking down the art of navigating these incredibly sticky social situations. Do you try and polish it out quietly with a bit of buffing compound, create a wild story about a runaway trolley at the shopping centre, or just bite the bullet and own up immediately? Zweli looks at the fine line between panic-induced excuses and the ultimate power of upfront honesty to keep the friendship intact. Pop the headphones on to hear some brilliant tips on thinking on your feet, along with hilarious calls from Joburgers sharing their own worst car-borrowing disasters! 🚘🔥 Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media      947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
