First dent

Battle scars.

 

Picture?

 

Hate when that happens! Stay well away from any truck carrying stuff, but eventually some road damage has to happen. Bummer. Where on the hood did it get you?

It was kind of a meteor hit, come to think of it, though.

 

It happened to me 2 days after I got my C. No dent thankfully however it damaged the paint 1 spot. The paint pen that the dealer gave me does not quite match. I may get it repainted in a year or 2 so no big deal.

 

Oh no I got my first chip in my windshield about a month ago or so. But it's so small you really gotta look for it.

 

aww man that sucks! Ours is only a week old.. I'm really scared of this happening. I drive so far behind other cars and park as far as possible away from the entrance of stores. I know it's inevitable though.

 

Yes, too bad

Get the correct touch-up pen, clean the cr*p out of the area with alchohol, then go slow, paint-in the craters with just a little lap onto adjacent areas, step back 5', defocus a little, it's gone.

Or get real serious, fill them in first with a little Bondo.

 

Ouch. These posts always make me cringe. I've had mine long enough that I've stopped parking super far away from other cars (not an option at my apartment anyway), but I'll still be a sad panda when it gets hit.

 

Everything Ashley7 just said. I still do a walk-around of the car almost every time I come back to it.

I still will use my normal mental parking space scoring system but there are times where you have few options. At home normally the two allocated spots either side of me are empty, but occasionally on one side sometimes an Audi Q7 appears that would not be able to fit within its marked space if it tried. And it doesn't try.

I now park slightly towards the other side of my bay rather than centred, if the Q7 is there or not.

 

Sorry. The first is the worst.
