Argh... nooo... my baby!!!

Coming out of a barber shop, an older guy (50ish) in a red R/T said "nice truck". I said "You too" and he came over to look at mine... we were talking, and he noticed some white lines on my rear fender (uh oh). I looked and there are like 5 scratches... deep into the paint to the fiberglass.
It probably would have been days before i noticed that... We had a moment of silence, me and the R/T guy. He said if it was his truck, he would flip. I did... later, when I was by myself.
This bites.

Lightly run your fingernail over the scratch to "feel" it.
If you cant feel the scratches, it could be possible that they are just in the clear coat. A clear coat scratch looks white and alot of times can be sanded and buffed out.

If you can even slightly hang a fingernail on it, then its too deep to buff.

I can actually stick my fingernail into the scratch...
I guess it's off to the paint shop... Guess she's not getting a bed rug and 2" shackles for Christmas like I promised her.
Christmas is ruined.

Leave it! It's not a scratch! It's a character line!

That really sucks.

Do you ever wish that you are actually in the vehicle when that happens? Happened to me 2 weeks ago. Not the L, but our beater car. Some bitch slams her door into my wifes beater car hard enough to dent the door. We were both in the car and didn't say a word to the lady. She leaves, 5 minutes later there was HARD DEEP scratches that went into the metal on her mini van, but they just blended with all of the other marks that she had.

Some people are so rude.

You got that right, nobody dares lay a door into my winter beater/boat, or they will hurt their car
