Default When did you get your first damn ding!

Especially on the BSP tC! man, this sucks. my xA just got one today! Shes not even two weeks old!!! I didn't see it this morning when I washed her. We live in condos. I know it was my neighbors kid. He parked his corolla next to my xA later in the afternoon to wash it down.... Learn to wash your car properly punk and control your doors. I feel like kicking his ___. Im going to be parking my tC there when I pick it up next month. He better learn,or I'll teach him. damn, Im ____ed.

sorry to hear that man

i got my first door ding on the day after thanksgiving just one week and two days after i bought mine. the par t that really sucks is that i took it to a paintless dent repair and they worked on it for a while but it is right on the glue tab of the cross member. after about an hour he got out about 90 percent of it

Yeah that does suck. i got my first ding shortly I got my new tC too. I had it only a week and I think a car in a parking lot scraped my back bumper a little. I was ____ed when i noticed it. I guess that is what happens when you buy a car in the winter and the roads are slippery~

Our paint is like butter. Beautiful, yet fragile, butter.

Its been 3-4 days now since I have had my car, even went behind a cement truck dropping pebbles taking it home from the dealer and it didnt get dinged or scratched. Hung out with some friends last night and they were stupid enough to thing it was funny to jump onto the hood of my car... So after I beat the hell out of them I checked out the car and no marks

Some _______ cut it too close pulling out of a parking spot and scraped up the front quarter panel of my BCP tC. I've had it for about 4 months. Probably go take it in for an estimate in the spring.

I had the same thing happen to me last week. I even backed into the parking space all the way to try to prevent someone hitting my xA. The paint didn't break, but it's like someone tried rolling an iron baseball along my driver-side fender.

I know I don't have a tC, but the first of two dents I got was on my rear passenger side door of my xA. I think a runaway shopping cart hit it....

You think you dont have any scratches yet but you better look closer. I think scion only did one layer of clear coat. Our cars scratch very easy! If you ask me I would have to say its faulty paint.

i got my first ding the second day i had my tC. i parked it at school, when i came back, someone had opened their door into my passenger door. i looked at it closely and kinda rubbed it out. about a week later i washed my car, to find that my door is dented from the impact. i wish i would have keyed that ____ty ___ grand am

however, my first ding was on the cd player cover. i did it when i got home from the dealership, i went to close the cd cover, and i still had my keys in my hand and i put a deep scratch on the cover, about 20 mins after i got my car.

so far i win for earlier dings. at least this gives me a reason to get the brushed alluminum overlay

I have the most annoying ding... I was washing my tC. The hand I was holding the hose with had soap on it, the hose slipped thru my fingers and smacked right above my door handle... THAT ____ED ME OFF! and it was my fault!

I didnt want to start a brand new thread for this question but this looked like a good enough place to ask. Whats the best stuff i can buy to try and buff out light scratches on my BSP tc? I noticed saturday someone had definitley rubbed up alongside my drivers side door. no drasticly deep scratches, but a hell of a lot of small ones that are anough to attract the eye. any info would help. thanks.

Oh yeah, i hate acorns too. they pelted the hood and trunk of my car last fall.
