parking garage rage

[UserRemoved1]

yes they can do some pretty decent stuff nowadays Pete maybe they can fix it easy u never know.

That thing looked so sad yesterday morning it sat in that dust bowl for 2 days, looked like crapola, then driving down 146 yesterday it spits rain and leaves clean little spots all over the hood. made it even worse

Wait til I cover it with mud

I thought of finding a mud puddle too. Not much rain lately though.

Anyone else have any experience with Dent Wizard? The hit is right in the center of the panel and the back of it is easily accessed. Hoping for the best...

Pete, give me a call on my cell on Monday or when you recover from the show and I can set you up with my paintless dent removal guy. We see that type of stuff all the time and as long as it is not very sharp and deep he can make it look like new. I have him on my lot several times a week removing this type of stuff from the cars we sell.

Sound great Warren. I'll be in touch, thanks. I feel better now. I think the crease should be removable given it's location and dimensions, we'll see.

This definitely warrants some rare Beachmaster pluggage from my private collection...

sorry to hear that PETE....and ya know....the audacity of the individual who creased your truck....and did the damage created more of a dent to your health...a side effect to the rage,,,,than what it'll take probably to fix it...is what concerns me...

so take it in stride.... don't let it ripple your waters too much....
there's more A-holes right around every corner unfortunately.

i love the smell of bondo in the morning....

i was tellin Bigfish this story about how my brother and i had this racing bug that we sanded so smooth it was like silk.....and the day we get it back from the paint guys shop...we stopped in fairhaven to get something from the auto parts store...and left the beautifully painted blue metalic bug alone for like all of ten minutes and some A-hole had already hit it....and was gone... blew our minds.

It's big enough to notice, definitely not big enough to warrant bondo. Feeling a lot better now, especially thanks to some optimism about paintless dent removal.

Very few things truly set me off, that happens to be one though. I'm fairly sedate and quiet most of the time. So don't worry about my blood pressure.

Pete,

That sucks. You are right about the lack of personal responsibility of some people.

The first decent car that I bought was hit a few weeks after i got it and crushed in my rear door. I was on a fishing trip and left the car at my in-laws on a cul-de-sac that no one goes down. The punk teen kid that lived across the street did it or one of his buddies, but I could not prove it. Anyway I can understand your frustration.

There are probably a few body shop guys on this board that can help you get it fixed. A little barter of some fishing goods, and maybe reserving a plug or two in the future that are hard to come by.....

Sounds like a great truck - hopefully after the anger and frustration lessen and you get it fixed you will enjoy driving it again.

Pete

those paintless dent guys are "ok",,, if they can get it out,, they will... or at least it will "look" better. don't try do it yourself.

be advised if it's creased too much the clear will have minute' cracks in it and water will eventually make it to the metal and start a tiny rust spot....or whear there pokin at the inside of the door skin can scratch. out of sight out of mind
but ,, you bieng a stickler,, should keep that from happening with a little bit of wax.

there's a reason there cheaper. and used car dealers love 'em so much

I volunteered the show for 3 days and definetly feel your pain. As chance would have it I have just bought a new gmc personal truck and new toyota business truck. The first 2 days i took the tocoma up, the last day the gmc. Each day I took the license plate, or plates of the neighboring vehicle(s). What I would do if dents had happened I do not know but....
