I have a good one. I took my camaro on a 8 week roadtrip across the country ( 28 states, 15 national parks, 13,600 miles ) about 4 weeks in I am staying in a camp site in Sequoia National park and I was carfull not to park under the smaller trees ( tree sap) but I didn't think about the big trees untill a pine cone fell out of a 180' fir tree and hit my trunk lid. The entire camp ground was silent after I screamed a few F bombs. the only dent on the entire trip

Finally happened to us yesterday, sort of.

We were driving down the highway, on our way to the window tint shop that we have decided we want to seriosly consider, we just need to go back and talk to the guy. I am driving ( it IS my wife's car ), and I am trying to pass a truck that is from the local short haul company ( gravel, tomatoes, corn, whatever.. ), and I can hear stuff starting to hit the car so I punch it to get around quickly.... I just don't get around quick enough. Like it was happening in slow motion we see a rock headed for the windshield and it hits dead center and sort of low. AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH !!!!!

After freaking out we really look at the windshield and realize that we really can't see anything except this extremely tiny speck, so we really got lucky. My wife was on the phone with our insurance company two minutes later and they will have someone out to fix it tomorrow at no charge. It could have been so much worse and no real damage to the car. I dread the day that we have to deal with that, I know it's going to happen, it's a car, and we drive it, it's just a matter of time....

RJT-Maro · 09-23-2009, 05:34 PM

The day I picked up my car I was headed home and we stopped by a gas station to get a bottled drink..

I go to open the door and BAMM..

The car beside me was just far enough away that it scratched the paint off the crease on the door..

People do not lie the door just flings open it doesnt have the half way catch it just goes open

Have had the car for over a month and have yet to get it fixed lol..

Its not that noticeable unless you get right up on it.

Whats a Camaro without battle scars??? Seriously, those are badges of pride wear them accordingly. The Camaro wasn't meant for the trailer, it was made for the road.

"Look agent 86, the old pine cone from a fir tree trick."

Sorry, had to.

That sucks though. I drove mine from from Casper,WY during Sturgis bike week, stopped at a restaurant and later found a scratch on the lower crease on the driver's door. I was parked next to a handicap spot thinking IF anyone parks there, there is extra room. Looks like the front of a wheel chair or walker did it.

Then drove all the way to Oregon and back to Wyoming. Got 40 miles from Casper at 2 AM and drove into a hailstorm. I turned around and drove back out of it but found 3 dents the next day. All in one week. zi don't have time to get them fixed till this winter but will be doing that and and a cam so it will be ready for spring.

In my town a construction crew was o I 40 doing road construction. The pavement had just been stripped getting ready to be repaved. I was behind 2 trucks unaware that the road had been scraped the night before. All of a sudden I was pummeled with road debris and wanted to throw on the brakes but couldn't because of traffic. So I slowed down to take a breath and wondered how much damage was done. When I got home I found the whole front fascia was pitted along with the mirrors and hood. I had two small windshield pecks and one paint chip down to the metal. This was 2 days after owning it. At first it really got to me, but now I just drive it and try to just enjoy life and realize that I can't control what happens.

Trying to figure out how to post multiple "quotes"

You are right - but just the way I am with all my cars.

My 1LT RS was delivered to the dealer yesterday afternoon - too late for me to be able to take it home until this morning - the sales mgr told me that last night all the Camaros were vandalized - theives stole the RS and SS emblems off the vehicles!! The dealer will have to repaint the trunk as there are scratches where the emblem was pryed off!!! Unbeleivable!! I didn't even pay for it yet!!!
