Wasn't intended to be insulting. Nobody looks this goofy in real life.

robyn, i feel your pain, lol. although none of the pics of my car show it, it has TONS little dents and scrapes that drive me absolutly NUTS lol. where should i start, the lil hole in the back bumper, the dent on the drivers front fender, the very wavy passenger side & smashed passenger 1/4.... yha, i think someone musta sideswiped mine at some point, i poped the 1/4 out from the inside, but it has a crese in the wheelwell that will never come out, and i dont think the door is ever gonna line up.... but even with the flaws, i have no shame in bringing it to local cruse in's and shows, i just try to keep it cleen & tinker with simple mods.... and i guess its working, i was invited to show it on main street down in town tomorrow dents and all.... IMO, your pop did a great job using inexpensive materials & it looks great, even if its a lil out of line!

Nothing is ever pointless. My body isn't in the best of shape. Lots of dings and chips, but it's never pointless. If it took you that long to notice it, who's to say other people will? If anything you can have this Monte as a nice little DD down the line, and get yourself an SS for a Sunday Driver

Taz,

I know no one can ever look that goofy in real life... but we can try!

OMG MIKE! You look totally out of your mind in that picture!!!

You'd let me drive your car? *blush* Don't tell your girlfriend that. She might disown you. It's okay. You, MaMonte, Todd or Ryan are the only people I'd trust with my cherry bomb. And the plus side is if I come out that way to philly, mike can do some work on my car LOL

ryan the materials were NOT inexpensive! Sure it didn't cost as much as a professional job would have, but I didnt CARE about spending the 700 bucks! I have TONS of rockchips in her hood, down the fenders, the windshield is kinda scratched up don't know what I can use to fix THAT issue besides replace it, the doors and all line up fine, it's just... THAT DENT! Drives me absolutely bat**** crazy!

I'll be the voice of reason right now.

Deal with it.

We all have some imperfections we hate, but with time and money eventually we will get them fixed. It's a lot better than it was, and you know it. It's not perfect, but that's what happens. Focus on the other parts of the car, and when you run out of things to do, you can save up and finally get that dent straightened properly!

I am dealing with it. LOL. It does look better, yes. I'm just ****. I'm sorry. I love my car. Probably more than I should but hey, that's what happens... My dad's '02 LS is in real bad shape. blows blue smoke. somethin ain't right under that hood and i think that engine is on it's last legs.
