I have a beater for daily driving. My work car is supplied by the city. My fun car is garaged during the winter and I try to take care of it the best I can. But, I bought it to enjoy. That was the original concept of the automobile. But, I don't spend my days hovering over my car with a microfiber cloth waiting on the next dust mite to drop. My point is....shit happens. I hope th OP can get her back to its original glory.

Had my SS out with 800 miles on it. I get on the highway and some jackoff towing a trailer of dirt, complete with rocks, on an open flat trailer cuts into my lane and is sending stuff all over the highway. Got my bumper in 3 places, and a good nick off my right fender well. She still looks good but those little nicks are pissing me off.

Ask your local dealer which PDR guy they use and go from there.

Is your neighbors testicles safely atop your mantel in a Mason Jar? If not, why?

My neighbor feels like crap and wants to pay for it. But on the other hand, I am the one that parked it there. Not sure I want to take his money?

i agree with JL, sounds like your neighbor tried to help you out by letting you park on his driveway....yea its his fault he hit your car, but he was still trying to help. sounds like a stand up guy.
for you "its just a car" guys, my ss is not a daily driver and will never be. i have my JK jeep for that and the wife and kiddo have their new cars. i really enjoy driving it on sunny days, enjoy that i can keep it pristine...so i can hand over the keys to my grandson when he turns 16. i cant wait to take pics of him w/ his car (my ss) and the camaro i will be driving during that time. one of my wife's friend who are cadillac people, her husband just bought a CTS-v. great car, runs like heck and is a great looking car...so my spouse asked why i dont get one. my response....its a hell of a car, fast, sleek looking....but it does not say CAMARO on the fenders!!!

I got a PDR guy in Buffalo who will get that out- best in NY. The guy is out of this world fantastic. He just took two dents in the body line of the passenger door out like they were never there. In for a roadtrip?

Looks like it should be a paintless repair which is good

UPDATE
took it to a local body shop that came highly recommended by 2 friends. The body shop guy called in his PDR guy. He thought it would be repairable to at least 85%. Just got a call from him and he said it came out PERFECT! He said the PDR guy took about 3 times more than the average dent, so the cost is $300.00 plus tax. Phew! So glad this was repaired without the need of paint work! I will not be picking it up until morning, so I have not seen it yet. But I would trust when a body shop owner uses the word PERFECT.

Right on the body line. A PDR shop won't be able to fix it. I have the same issue.. took a hit to the passenger door right on the long lower body crease...
It sucks. |

that's horrible. I just park mine as far away as possible and hope for the best
