Only 2 weeks old and I got a scratch in my Lancer My buddy and I were putting the Sirius antenna on the roof. He was feeding the wire down to me from the outside. Leaned down into the door and said Hey man, you see this scratch u got here? I looked at it, looked at his belt...I was pissed. I think it's just in the clear coat though so I should be able to buff it out, I hope. Just had to rant a bit.

 

Worse will happen, today I was chilling at a parking lot with friends and found a little dent in my car that was deep as hell. It was deep enough to make the paint start to chip. I'm almost positivie now somebody shot my car with a bb gun. I'm so pissed right now. I have to fill it and touch up paint it. Definately wont look like stock no more! AGH! I hate people who do that kind of stuff!

 

i backed into a trailer and fubared my bumper, i repainted it with touch up paint and you cant tell but you know what i still mentally know its there, which sucks, but hey **** happens, your not the only one man **** happens, you can almost always fix anything if you have the cash and time, for my time i spent 10 bucks and fixed my 350dollar body shop screw up

 

well for those.. who put their own dents...

its better to dent your own car.. other then people denting them ... puhaha

 

Don't sweat it man, this ****'ll happen. After a while, you'll learn to ignore it. Cars get dings man, it happens. Some biotch railed my door with a damn shopping cart when it too was only 2 weeks old, left 3 dings and a miniature scratch. Pisses me off whenever i get a wash, cause it stands out even more.- but i think most of it is just mental, nobody else ever notices. it get's easier after the first scratch/ding.

 

Yeah, we all have stories about scratches. I live in an apartment complex, I park my pearl white Ralliart in a carport so I can avoid dents although it's not completely covered like having an enclosed garage. My car is only 4 weeks old and someone's stupid cat took a ride down my hood with it's claws out (fighting for traction with the fresh wax job I guess). Hoping it's only in the clear coat so I can buff it out. Gonna have to get a car cover now, which is totally insane since I'm paying monthly for a carport?!@#$$. What can you do?

 

yea i got a ding right on the curve on my door so it stands out like crazy. people need to chill out with throwning their doors open without looking...

 

I think I'm gonna mount a shotgun in the trunk for such instances of carelessness..


....muhahahahahah! .

 

yea.. worse always happens.. i have scratches all over my car, from hugging turns tightly and bushes sticking out or something.. Could care less anymore, i still park like a jackass still in order to prevent dents... I also have a trashed front bumper skirt that was ripped out of it's mounts (half of it) and pulled under the car when i hydroplaned and hit a curb. It's all good, it still drives

 

yeah i remember when i got a couple on my hood, pissed me off, but i will live and so will she

 

I know it's not a dent, but I'm the type of guy who rarely gets the water hose out and does a full monty car wash by myself, ya know? The one day I do it, sweatin in my drawls and all, I come back out after I figure the Tire Wet is dry, and there is like 3 HUGE PUDDLES OF BIRD F'N CRAP ON MY HOOD/HEADLIGHTS!

Granted, no where near as bad or as permanent as a scratch, but definitely just as initially heartbreaking........

 

what's parking like a jackass?

i backed into my neighbor's car and put three deep scratches on my rear bumper.. paid body shop $295 to repaint the whole thing

Hey Fifty1Fifty, I'm thinking about one of those Sirius units for my RA. Can you tell me a bit about it and did you have to drill a hole(shudder!) to mount the antenna? I'll PM you if taht's OK.

 

second day i had my car a drunk lady dropped a beer bottle on my car and dent it
