First Dent or It's an Ill Wind...

Well, to go along with the two scratches I got blessed with this winter, there is a nice ding in the door. Wednesday it was very windy! When the wife got out of the car at work at the end of break time, the wind flipped it open and it smacked the mirror of the car that had pulled in really close. No damage to him but an ugly little dent at the body line, just behind the door handle. I almost cried. I guess the trip to the body shop just got more expensive. I hope someone benifitted from the wind.

Sorry to hear Jimbo, I know I would rather cut a finger or sprain an ankle than to have my girl dented.

I used to have a caviler. One day I went to the store and the wind ripped the door from my hand and slammed it in to a cart coral. The kind that are the steel tubular framed. It hit right on the edge of the door. Bent the door and cracked the paint right off, down to the bare metal.

Well the paint didn't crack. Got hold of my guy at the dealership and they have a guy that does paintless repairs in on tuesdays, so I guess I will try to get to see him.
