i have a paintless dent guy coming today to fix it for 50 bucks because i wont be able to deal with looking at it

I thought I was "safe" parking close to other cars because they were members here like me and that they would be careful but I guess I was wrong!!!!
gotta remember!..it's still just a car!..a lot of people don't care!..ya really have to park away from 'em!..tough to take a chance!..just sayin!

It may just be a car, but it's MY car and I make the payments on it. No jackoff is going to ruin my car.

I've caught 2 folks doing it to my car's, both of them didn't like the outcome, as both of them copped attitudes and denied it, even though I was in the car both times when it happened. I've been plowing snow for what seems like non stop for the last week and change up here, last thursday night, I had to take my truck down for some repairs, and replaced my passenger front bearing, I had actually just washed my truck before this so it wouldn't leave snow crap all over the shop floor. I plowed friday, saturday, and then parked it, only driving it to work here one day covering it in salt. Washed it last night, and i've got an orange sized monster ding in my passenger front fender that i'm absolutely sick over. Thanks to the thick coating of salt, there was no paint transfer.. so now that i'm going to have to replace that fender when i paint the truck over this spring, god bless the jackass that does it next time...

Birds do that too. I have a small dent on the hood because a crow dropped a walnut on it.

Call a paintless dent guy. Its amazing what they can fix. As long as your paint is intact.

You might have avoided the damage if you had parked as I do in Bum **** Egypt.

I almost made it through the summer without any dings. Then 1 week this fall I got 2 in 3 days... Thankfully they were minor ones that were easily fixable. When you guys drive your Camaro and see another one parked, do you park next to it to protect them and you or do you still leave a spot in between? I cant decide what proper etiquette is in this situation...
