My First Dent! Wow... - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

awhatzable · 12-12-2015, 08:07 AM

I found a 2mm diameter chip next to my door on the first year.... I was melting, and today a potential buyer found a dent on the body of the car right on top of my front wheel and I never leaned on my car. Now I've melted away...

I'm going to be evaporated soon

Next car I'm going to park as far frm every car as possible and pad down poeples asses if they want to lean on my car.. LOL (Low on laughter)

I observed another Merc today that was pulled all the way over the curb in a parking spot and the front end had all kinds of scrapes, dings and sideswipe markings from poor driving. Shame.

me too haha!

Just remember, you can always buy another in the future! Trade that one in and buy a newer model!

Its not really nice to think of it that way, but it helps me calm down. Plus dont forget, these cars have weak and light body panels vs older cars. They are really prone to getting damaged easily. I took mine to the track and the junk on track scrapped my tire interior. Need to buy mud guards! My 90' pickup has taken one crazy beating. My FRS wouldnt even handle 10% of the damage. Plastic vs metal.

I've had stone chips, door dings, shopping cart scratches but what burned me up the most were the footprints that were left behind from some kid (dents were shallow) standing on the hood. My only wish for that kid is to someday experience the same disrespect for their car that they worked and saved for as long as I've done for mine. As much as I would love to beat the crap out of them it would be me sitting behind bars if I fulfilled that fantasy.

Meh, just wait till you take it to the track and the car you're chasing sprays your front end with gravel...

radroach · 12-12-2015, 01:39 PM

I have a dents on the door panels, wheel arches, hood, front and rear bumper. None have been my fault. Some were intentional vandalism, other were just by careless sucky people, or deer. I mean hell, two days ago I found a peice of gum some d-bag stuck on the rear panel.

Car is still pretty though!

Tape is no match for the rocks/gravel from some of the tracks out here

There is only one way to prevent dings, chips scratches, fading, stains, bird crap, gum, tar, road paint, alien scans, goblin slobber, bodily fluids, debris rash, nicks, cuts and blemishes. Park it. Cover it. Never touch or drive it.
You will have the nicest looking, most boring, costly, garage decoration in town.

As said above it is a car. Drive it and get over the little crap. Shit happens.

Is there an easy way to take the small parking dents out?

RichardsFRS · 12-15-2015, 10:34 AM

Dents suck accidents suck but its an evil necessity of owning a car. Not a matter of if but when. Mine is a few years old. It's in incredible condition. It has 43k on it but no dings and dents. But it will happen and thats cars. Course I only paid 15 for it so it won't hurt as bad

SHIFTEVO · 01-06-2016, 05:41 PM

I had zero dings on my door the first 3 years I've own my LR, 3 months after moving into TX, I already had 2 dings on the same passenger door smfh!

Got it fixed via paintless removal right away and it was beautiful. Till 2 weeks later I got 2 more on the same damn door.

I park at the edge and make sure there is always plenty of space yet I still get screwed. All I can say is god damn trucks and large cars here in TX don't give a rats ass...

MrDinkleman · 01-06-2016, 06:19 PM

You know what's worse than finding your first dent? It's putting the first dent in your car yourself. Then, you know who did it but there is nothing you can do to him...

MisterSheep · 01-06-2016, 06:27 PM

I think my car lasted 3 days before it had a door ding dent...

Noticed it when I waxed the car the weekend after I had just bought it.
