Default 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 ...

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.

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 ...
