DAMNED Scratches and Dings!!!

[Predator]

get on my damned nerves!!

when somebody spends tonnes of money on their ride, and them some jerk parks right beside it (ignoring the countless other free spots on the lot) and bangs the hell out of it with his door.

or when you just get those brand new rims and carry your ride out for the first time to show it off and while your parking you think you've got tonnes of space between you and that curb wall, only to hear a harsh grinding sound at your wheel as your car comes to a stop.

makes you not want to leave your crib at times. I've really heard some horror stories. God knows i've had mine.

and the worst thing about it is the damage usually isnt bad enough for you to carry it to get it fixed with a free conscience. You say to yourself who sprays over an entire panel just for a dent half an inch in size?

God i hate em.

i hear you bro..

check out something called the Ding King...saw it on espn last night...loox like it worx...

alright cool, thanks man. I'll pass that on.

luckily the last ding i got on my ride ended up right in the spot where i had planned on putting a graphic.

so it covered it up. so right now i'm ding free, but its only a matter of time.

when they finally get a ding and scratch removal kit that really works, i can guarantee that the inventor is gonna be hella rich.

on almost all the car websites i've been to, the number 1 concern of the members was dings and scratches to their show car finishes.

and when you've got a beauty like a 7th gen celica, the last thing you want to see is a dent.

No matter how small it is, in your mind its gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

Welcome to car ownership. Nothing is perfect. Trust me, I know and it pisses me off since I am a perfectionist when it comes to my car.

yah, same here.

the celica is a gorgeous ride, but once you buy a car as your daily driver, you gotta put perfection outta your mind.

cause no matter how hard you try, or how many precautions you take, $hit happens.

its only if you keep your car locked away as a showpiece, that you can even consider being able to keep it 100% damage free.

GO GET A PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR! My car is dent free .. i check it every other day for dings/rock chips! Its like $30 a dent .... it's virtually not a dent anymore, just the nice flat surface again! What they do is massage the dent out with rods. I wanna learn how to do it!

You forgot to mention about the rock chips that fly off dumpster trucks on the freeway...

:werd: I got trapped behind one on the freeway for about 10 seconds and almost cried because I could hear **** hitting my hood.

That's about when I would have slammed on the brakes...until I was so far away from the truck, that I could only barely see it...lol

aww hell yea, rock chips, forgot about those.

the only way to get rid of those is paint work. i know compound is only good for surface scratches, doesnt do squat for chips that actually break the paint. and you cant localise the spraying to where the chip is, you'd have to spray the whole freakin panel to get it looking factory perfect again.

like i said, anyone who devises a way to get rid of these minor things without havin to do major paint work will be instantly rich.

and 2002GT, you shouldve either slammed on the breaks and put some good distance between you and him, or punched it and passed him. There aint no way i'm stayin anywhere near the back of one of those things for any amount of time.
