SS Battle Scars / Post them here

This thread is devoted to post battle scars (dents, chips, scratches, etc.) to your HHR SS. Yes, I will start:

It's hard to make out but there is a dent in my fender close to the hood. Polished it this morning and didn't notice anything. Have only been to Taco Bell and the gas station and then noticed it


Goes well with my stone chip received while at the Cedar Point Meet:

Ugh. Unfortunately it is a fact of life. Yesterday on th way home going 70 MPH on an interstate, two large birds swooped low over the roadway. I clipped the second bird up high in the passenger side where the windshield meets the frame. Fortunately I didn't suffer any damage. I'm not sure whether the bird lived or not.

With less than 1 week, my wife goes shopping and right rear gets whacked:

Then, a couple days later, another grocery cart slams the right front fender:


Both were much worse at first, but I used pops-a-dent, and it really works. If I was good at it, I might have made them ALL gone. I also used some VRed nail polish where the paint was damaged.

Oh well, 20 years ago I would have been in tears and killed my wife, but now I know it was the evil engineers designing grocery cart magnets in our fenders.

Got this one when a chunk of rubber from a Semi hit me on the 170 going to North Hollywood. I never drive that freeway because it's always dirty and crazy and I was only on it to run a errand for my mom.

I don`t have the time to take pictures of all the dents in mine after the hail storm Got to wait till next Tuesday before the insurance guy looks at it to find out if I get a new one or not.

Hey Bluonyx nice macro shot.

A little nail polish and a dremmel buffer and that baby is gone!

I'll trade for my grocery cart dents.

It did I have the burns to prove it. The bag in this case hurt me more than if it had not gone off. I was almost stopped.
