Angry Got my first dent... :(

I got my very first dent today at work. I was in the car when it happened too. One of the managers at work parked next to me, and I always park to the edge. He opens the door to his car, and I guess wind blew his door open more, and bam. Its not a big dent, but I can tell, cause its my car. Its slightly scratched as well, but if your not really looking at it, you can really tell.

I'm just upset I guess, cause I got my car in February. Its not even a year old.

My day even gets better than that. I start vacuum my car, and I'm just about done. I start taking the vacuum out of my car and I slightly knicked the side of my door. 2 more small scratches on my car. :cry:

I guess I'm too obsessed on trying to keep my car perfect.

I start to wash my car. After that, I go to canadian tire. I bought some batteries, and went home. When I got home, I noticed Bird **** on my car. I'm like, WTF!! I just washed it, and bird ****. Not even 15 mins after washing it, I get bird ****.

Its not the first time that I've gotten bird ****, right after washing my car.

Ahhhh... This day just sucks for me. Will anything good happen.

im telling you DONT ever go to canadian tire.

i bought a set of bfgoodrich there, they did balancing and allignment.

rite after i took my car on da parking lot, there is dent complete with elbow grease around it on my right front fender.

wut did the manager say? "its not our responsibility that it could happn in parking lot"

now im working out to get rid of those dents at dent wizard, the PDR thing. 100 bucks for 1st dent and 50 bucks for the next dent.

just my 2 cents, hopefully thats helpfull, trust me dent gives me sleepless night as well.

My car was a year and a half old when it got the first ding.... then it got egged (with paint damage), then it got keyed, then a shopping cart hit it, then someone hit the rear bumper in the parking lot, then someone hit the front end in the parking lot. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

dents... pleaseeeeeee!

I wish dents were my own problems!

try large amount of rust and lack of metal where metal should be.

My car has had it's fair share of dents and dings too.

Damn shopping carts and people being careless with their doors!

Someone should invent a force field like they have on Star Trek that I can put around my car to protect it whenever I'm not around. lol

All my dents and other abnormalities are gone... Im getting it back from the bodyshop in 2 hours

But dents are unavoidable... after a year or so of owning a car you'll stop caring about dents.

Last summer... then someone slammed into my rear 1/4 pannel twice during the winter, and I got hit up front at the mall 3 weeks ago. Got my front end PROPERLY fixed as well with new rad supports.

I'm picking it up in less than an hour when I go on my 3pm break...

EDIT:

Stupid POS isn't ready....
