Damn kids already dented my car
I just bought my 8 last month, an 06 Shinka, I basically only drive it to go to college classes 4 days a week and around town, I go to work on my bike because it's close to where I live. Yesterday I got back home and like I do, stared at my RX8 in all its beauty, yet something was off. I looked closer and I saw a dent and a scrape under my door! WTF, it was just parked outside of my house! it definitely wasn't a car, because it was on the side of the car facing the sidewalk and because of how low it is, my guess is that it was one of the kids going to the high school by my house, with a skateboard or something. Anyway, not much I can do about it, just felt like venting. Don't know if I should go get it fixed or just live with it for now. Anyone have any similar experiences?

This is what I came home to.
Sorry the picture came out upside down for whatever reason.

Are you sure you didn't cut a corner a bit tight and bump a curb?
That sure looks more like a driving dent IMO then a skate board or bicycle.

I'm almost completely sure I didn't do it, especially since I didn't notice it the day before when I was looking at my car, and I haven't driven it since.

I'm going to guess at the least a 1000 usd

Life After 8K RPM....
it shouldnt cost more than $500 Based on my previous experiences with auto body shop..try preppin it urself that may also reduce the cost. Some one keeps keeying my 8 pisses the crap out of me. Thinking to install an alarm system.
