Pissed off

Well, I went home for lunch, and as I am about to leave I see some white stuff on my car. As I get closer, I see it is a cluster of scratches by the back right tire. But thats not all, THERES A FREAKIN DENT THERE TOO!! And to make my life worse, in back of the wheel is scratched. Yeah, I know I'm bitching over something small, but it was in my drive way, so someone in my house must have hit it


Anyway, I'll post pics after school and maybe you guys can tell me if i can make it less visible.

Thanks for listening to my rant,
Sean

the white paint should just rub off. and if there are any scratches, that can be addressed with touchup paint. the dent is another story. hopefully its not too bad.

and for fixing up the scratches on the wheel, here's a pretty good write up.

just get some sunlight silver to use as the paint, and if its not too bad, you can probably skip the bondo step. just sand it down nice and pretty, then paint it up. i've done this and it works well. takes a few hours, depending on how much time you want to put into it.

I would check your dads car, and your sisters bf's. Should be pretty easy. If it was one of them, you shouldn't have to pay a dime.

In my experience the touch up paint sucks and if anyone closely examines the area you "touched up" they can see a difference between that and the original paint.

Oh well, I'd only paid $100 for that truck and I sold it for $50 to a farmer who intended to use it as a stuff-hauler on his farm. My oldest wasn't hurt at all - she was wearing a BMX helmet, seat-belt with shoulder harness and driving one of the yard karts with the big roll frame.

Funniest part was that her godfather and I were both sitting on the hood of the truck when she struck the back. We were talking about her zipping around, but we weren't watching her. Suddenly we were both launched and we looked at each other and instantly *knew* what had happened. Ah, like father, like daughter. She's already out-lived two vehicles herself. I quit counting the cars I've outlived - I'm just glad I wasn't born a cat - 9 lives wouldn't have been enough.

So, that's the kinda shenanigans that go on at *my* house.

I hope you find the cuplrit and get them to pay for the fix right away.

what the hell is your 8 year old daughter doing driving anyway?

Dude. Your insurance should cover that without any penalties to you. you should have it repaired by a pro through your insurance. in th long run it will be the best thing unless you know someone good with auto body repair.
