    No matter what you do...

    ... Whether it's parking a mile away...

    ... Whether it's making sure that you've got the most ideal parking spot...

    ... Someone's got to go and F it up for you.







    Not even a note.

    Can't do much about those dings and dents near the charge port, but I'm hoping the general depression of the quarter panel can be fixed.

    Paintless dent repair guy coming next weekend.

    Any chance of security cameras where your car got assaulted?

    Not staffed on weekends, so I'm going to check Monday.

    Paint readings are between 85-90 in that area. Hopefully there won't be a need for too much polishing.

    Is it possible someone in your household isn't telling you the truth??? Or, maybe it happened some other time and it's now just being noticed?

    Always possible.

    But, this side of the car is away from my wife's car since I have to plug in every night. She never drives the car. It's possible my wife hit, but she would have told me.

    I took pictures of the car last week, as I always do after a good wash. Vanity, I know. The dent wasn't there. Furthermore, there is a sharp dent that snagged the MF towels today when I was cleaning the area to inspect it. Washed it last week. No snagging.

    It's also possible that I did it turning a corner in the parking garage, but I'm there early and there are virtually no cars there.

    Cleaned with DP rinseless. The reflection is horrible now.



    It'll be fixed one way or another.

    Re: No matter what you do...

    Sounds like a lot of cash but if you do not fix it you will never be happy with that car. I had a 100 dollar dent that just could not be ignored till I had it fixed. I forgot about the dent instantly when it was fixed. It is a shame what happened to your beautiful car but that is going to get fixed and you are going to feel better.
