Unless you keep your car in a bubble and never take it out, things are going to happen.

It sucks, but that's how it is. Sorry to hear it happened to you though.

My daughter let my passenger door go and dinged the car next to me. We were running late for her volleyball game but I stopped, left my info, and paid the $80 for paintless dent repair. A small price to pay for peace of mind and a lesson for my daughter. Remember, we all lead by example. Now, when I get a ding, I figure it's just Karma for those times in my younger days when maybe I didn't leave a note.

Think back to before you had a nice car.... I bet you left dings too. I know I did!

Hope you get it fixed right up. Just remember, it could be a lot worse. (Like the gigantic dent Austin had from a car rolling into his door). :-)

Breathe....it will be all over soon. lol

got 2 in my right rear fender at the body line within 2 days of owning the car, and I've owned it now 3 weeks..

cost me $150 the first week of ownership for paintless dent removal.. (I got a mobile guy that does a great job).

my last 2 cars, I probably spent $500 - $600 with him over the course of 3 years because of that crap.

Which is why I now strictly park in disabled spots.. Yes I am disabled and have the plates and plaque for my car, but I have always left those spots for more needy, not any more.

True. I even had the whole fix planned out in the dream. Clay for paint transfer, buffing the area, pdr.. Lol
