Damn, that is just simply messed up, I would probably cry myself to death. I never understood why people do those things. Instead of being jealous they could get a better job and buy the damn car instead of envy you.

LOL I used to live in Somerset, NJ. I would hide my car inside at all times if I still lived there.

yeah, i actually got a big *** door ding in the rear quarter panel of my new GTS a few weeks ago, and too make things any worse i went home to nebraska last week and got caught in a hail storm so now i got bad hail damage all over my car... i've been through hail before, and it wasn't like big chunks of ice either and usually it wouldn't affect the past vehicles i own... beginning to wonder if these cars are made of tin foil...

MOst new cars even expensive brands now have very cheap pody pannels , they say its crumple zones for safety but I think its to cut production costs...

I have a 2000 BMW and the sheet metal difference with the 07's is unmistakable

As far as the sheet metal goes i noticed a difference in the pinch welds on my 98 SVT contour and my cousins 03 Neons were like night and day. I could put my car up on the pinch welds and leave it..no bend or flex. The neons started to bend as soon as i rested it on the jackstand. The outer shells of these cars are cheaper than they used to be. But it is for repair and production costs. The unibody frames however are a lot stronger. so replace a dented piece of metal or fix an entire section of a frame? Easier and cheaper to replace some sheet metal.
