I have already seen two Tc's on the streets after being totalled out in wrecks,
just saw one driving down the freeway with a 3 inch deep dent in the door panel that ran from top to bottom almost.

hehe i wouldnt worry about a little scratch,
the Tc's are cursed to get screwed over by the man.


the man being MORONS on the freeway

That, and because of:

Mom to Kid: "Here honey, what would make you happy?"

Kid: "A new car! Because I'm spoiled, and I DESERVE IT!"

Mom: "Ok, let's go out and buy one. Just don't total it before you drive it off the lot."

Kid: "YAAY!" (Promptly takes their car on the freeway, gets it up to 120, exits the freeway, goes 120 on a city street, wipes out 5 pedestrians, a motorcycle cop and wraps their car around a lamp post.)

so far i've been lucky. No dents. But i do also keep this car away from full parking lots. When i'm forced to take this car, i park near the back where it's empty.

I have a chip on a door, probably from a rock on the highway. Hard to dodge em when doing 80

Few chips on the hood and front bumper, but i didn't get my front end mask until after i had the car a few weeks.

Yeah that's the one thing that sucks about a new car. I already know that I'm going to be really ____ed when I get my first ding or scratch- I estimate it'll happen in the first month or so, honestly Both of my previous cars have been hand-me-downs from family, and already came pre-dinged and scratched, lol.

I suppose I'll join the "First Ding ____ed Off" squad. It's inevitable. I came close when a mini twister flung around a white box and hit the driver door. Luckily it came off. When I saw it, I gasped and my heart skipped a beat too. Luck was on my side that day! I feel for those who were less fortunate at this time! hehe. I am on my way though in joining the First Ding Club.

im assuming it was a car door... there was a little paint left on the dent to... it buffed out... but the odd thing is.... the dents nowhere near where a door would hit it in a parking lot... its further back near the rear wheelwell... im thinking it was done by someone in MY driveway and the only other person would be my stepdad... and he denies it... hahaha

but being that its right on the body line (the crease going from back to front right above the door handle... would the paintless dent removal still work on that? seems like it wouldnt just pop out
