Went to the movies to see Minority report last night(BTW good movie) and was pissed when i came out! First of all i went with a girl who I really didn't care to be with, and second no parking spaces...I usually try and park away from other cars so I wouldn't get any dings. Well i took a chance last night and when i came out, some idiot parked his full metal hooptie about a foot away from my door..I had to get in from my passenger side well as I drove off i noticed my driver mirror had been pushed in and I was praying that the guy hadn't hit my door when he got out of his car..I tried not to think about it and drove on..When i got up and went out for breakfast this morning i noticed 3 small scratches in the midst of a small dent..On a black vehicle, this kinda stuff shows up really good. Oh well I gotta get my front bumper sprayed anyway so i'll have them fix that as well..Sorry for the sensless long post..Just had to vent!

 

Only owned the truck 4 days. I called U.S dent guys and they fixed it in my driveway in 10 minutes.I did not have the scratch though.
Sorry to hear.

You didn't stomp a warning into the side of the offending vehicle?!? Sheesh... you must be a lot better medicated than me, as I woulda lost my mind...

 

There's a good chance the scratches are just in the clearcoat. It's hard to tell with light gray primer, black paint, and clearcoat (which scratches white). Try some polishing compound before paying for paint.

 

Yea man, what u do is you take a screwdriver and a hammer (or pickaxe) and put some nice speed holes in the ****** hood. Hey, its advise from Homer Simpson.

 

Same here!

I hope he got the plate number.

 

Thanks guys for venting with me.. The scratches don't look too deep..So do these dent wizards actually work? I may try compounding and buffing where the scratches are..Maybe i can find someone to pull the dent out too...Oh well i've learned my lesson from now on, If no parking spaces, go home!!

 

Yes.They work great.They are like the David Copperfields of dents.They make them disappear.

I couldn't agree more. Thankfully my L has never been dented, but my black ranger had a softball size dent and a bunch of scratches. My dent wizard friend took out the dent and polished out the scratches. You could never tell even looking close in the sunlight. As long as you don't mind paying a little, they aren't cheap. He only charged me 50 bux and he got 4 cases of beer with that (I get it free), but he said it would've cost me 250 otherwise.

Have confidence, all the d-wizard guys that I know do great work! (4 of em)

 

Alright here is a tip!

I always park clear in the back next to no cars (I never take two spaces), so there won't be any chance of someone door dinging me.....

If and when you go to the movies, you drop your girl off at the door with the money, she gets the tickets. 1. you don't have to wait in line, 2. you park clear in Timbukto to avoid door dings and 3. you won't have to listen to her bitch about walking so far.

Plus you look like a gentleman dropping her off.

Door dings suck!

 

I know the feeling!
I got 4 dings in my Mustang in ~1 week, then someone at my job backed into the side, caving in the rear fender. That car was an idiot-magnet ( I guess that's why I bought it). No it's someone else's problem. Now I purposely park in the far end of the lot, even if it's raining, just to avoid this sort of thing. My blood pressure goes through the roof when I see some moron opening their door and using someone else's car as a doorstop, even if it's not mine. I was in my wife's car one day and an old lady opened her door right into mine. What's worse was that she was looking right at me as she did it. I got out of the car and, as coolly as possible, asked her if she found it necessary to use my car as a doorstop.
"I never do it that hard," she said, as if it was perfectly okay to be an idiot (note: in Miami stupidity is acceptable and encouraged).
"%*$&^%()*&^%," I thought, but said, "please be more careful." I was going to cuss her out, but her 90 year old husband was there and he looked pretty tough. Geez, I'm going to have a heart attack someday, I swear.
