Day three of ownership. Went to get the alarm put in at the dealer. The nice guy who installed my alarm did this to the car.

Had it PDR'd two days later at the cost of the dealership.

wait what? so the e-brake wasn't pulled back enough then right?

I'm not sure if this was the first one, but I hit a cone at the track and the rubber bottom was what hit my car. Very faint/shallow dent and some scratches... at least I can say it was from my first time learning how to drift!

Other minor damages: a ding on the bumper that was probably a hit and run, luckily the clear bra saved it; a couple chips in the windshield; very small dent from when my Macbook slipped out of my hands and I caught it against the car; LOTS of curb rash... : ( You'd think I'd be used to my 18" wheels by now..

Well first, I work at a Toyota dealership. Week 2 of ownership a service tech rolled my car into a concrete wall and I had to have the rear bumper replaced. Week 3 another salesperson was backing in a Tundra and ran all over me. Week 6 door dinged twice within 3 inches of each other. And lastly the State was painting road lines without signs up and I now have yellow paint under the fenders on all four corners...

Two weeks after I bought it, a deer ran into the side of the car, pretty large dent on the driver side rear quarter right behind the window. After having it fixed it looks 100% though.

This was the second one for me, except I have a few broken clips. It still stays in place so im not worried about it.

A scratched the roof with my bike at month two.

Why did they total the car? It is a brand new car and it looks like that can be repaired way under what they consider totaled. Just curious about the depth of the damage.

Two days after I brought her home I went to the mall and I was pulling out of my parking spot without noticing the curb and scuffed up the wheel, a week or so after that I turned up a driveway to sharp and again caught my wheel.

Earlier today I noticed a scuff on my bumper and I have no idea how it got there, really bugging me..I hope the apr lip covers it up.

paintermichael · 10-19-2013, 05:35 PM

I got in the car and took in out of gear and released the E-brake and start the car. than I get a phone call to urgently come back inside the house, so I quickly turn the car off and run inside. 5 minutes later and guys knocks on my door asking if the red car at the end of the street was mine. My heart sank as I looked out my front door and noticed that I forgot to put the E- brake back up and my car had rolled into a brick pillar....

(( atleast the damage is not too terribly bad its just my deductible is $500

oilfieldFR-S · 10-19-2013, 05:44 PM

At about 3k I hit a dog going 65. Went straight through the plastic grille in the front and smashed up my AC condenser. Ac still works but now the plastic grille won't stay clipped. Probably not gonna fix it.
