i believe that i have the first dented and paint rubbed gts in the country intill i hear otherwise

anyway so i left my car in front of my friends house, i came back a few hours later and i came back... the whole left rear side of the car was covered in rubber, and plastic ruboff... dents were put into the quaterpanel... i have never been more dissipointed in my entire life...

anyway has anyone else experinced this heart break
i love my car and it drives just the same i put 1200 miles on it in two weeks thats how much fun i had with it
ive been driving cars with messed up paint and bodys but those were for 3grand now i dont even have my plates yet and it fits in with the rest of my fleat... what i will get dropped by my insurance if i report it and i cant afored to fix it what do you think i should do?

anyway has anyone else experinced this heart break yet i dont want to feel alone on this one

on thing that i forgot to mention for all you 08 owners out there
when this or if it does happen to you
this car is a beast i held up to a i believe that it was a lifted american truck with big tires and if youve ever seen one of those things hit some one its bad
i got out with minimal dents and very little paint loss...
hopefully ill fix it up soon but for now id rather throw some suspension goodies on there...

thats suck, did u find out who the guys were? start cracking skulls. what actually happened did someone hit u and ran or did u back into someone? i would tell the insurance company thats what they're there for.


anways yeah its a real heartbreak. thats why im so careful with my car. like i keep telling my wife my car will always be brand new until i get that first dent or scratch then it becomes old

Boy that is rough. I dont know what I would do if that happend. Oh wait I know I would fix it and now that I know it is not absolutely scratch free. I would start modifying my car as soon as it is fixed.

yes some one else hit me.
i wish i had some cool story how i did it but, no really just a sad day.
i rubbed all the paint and tire off and now its not so bad but like unfortanatly its not straight from the dealership. i think it was a drunk driver or maybe even jealousy, but when i find that car i have a felling theres wont be driving away from it...

Im not suprised that some one keyed it or did this to mine id be jealious i saw some one driving this car and not me...

Boy would I be pissed!
Fortunately, my panels are still solid and intact...

HOWEVER!

Anyone have any comments on the paint/finish? Mine seems to chip VERY easily! (And my ride is black so the white primer shows!)

just saw a few posts w/ ppl requesting to see my hood. i have the tape off and will post pics tomorrow morning whenever i wake up so figure 10-11am eastern. jersey sucks to live in. the car was keyed in jackson while at 6 flags. i'm not gunna bother repainting it, just gunna stick it out until RRM has their cf evo x hood avaliable and rock the stock hood during the winter, the car isn't my dd anyway that's what i have my pontiac g6 for.

never thought it would happen to me. only drove the lancer down there b/c it had a full tank of gas and my g6 had about a 1/4 and i was too lazy to get gas for it. won't let that happen again.
