My Accident
 
Well if you remember a while back I said I had a little accident. I backed into a sign at Wendy's. I was trying to back into a parking space and I have my windows tinted so I couldn't see anything and it was dark, but anyhow I smacked into a really low sign about trunk height. It made a really big dent which was later pushed out. I was then left to show a med./sm. dent that still can be seen at certain angles. I hate it, it's all I think about ... I've never had a problem backing up ever.

The autobody shop says it'll cost me $325 to fix it ...

That's about right for a repair where we live.

I think they're going to bondo, sand, repaint, and clear coat it ...
I drove a beater station wagon for almost a year and haven't backed into anything. The moment I get my car looking really good I go and do this what luck ...?

I was making a call last night and drifted into a curb.

I lightly scraped the entire outer cirumfrence of the right front rim.

I feel extremely stupid right now. I know how you are feeling.

You always know the right things to say to cheer a person up thanks ...
I'm not sure when I'll get it fixed, but I'm hoping really soon ...

RE: My Accident
 
Have you tried the uncle Space dent remover method?

What was it Space? Heat the spot for like 10 seconds with a hair dryer or heat gun when use one of the keyboard airosol cans for like 3 - 4 seconds and the dent should pop out.

I may not have the complete instructions right but it's something close to that.

:eek: Hmmm, I dunno I never heard of that one before. I also bent my Monte Carlo Logo ... It looks like someone stabbed my car with a butterknife but didn't penetrate the metal though ...
I keep telling my car sorry everytime I see that dent I got it bad ...
