You First Big Damage

[DaleNixon]

So. Today I got to work and noticed I had a ton of small rocks/dirt embedded on the front of the MS3. I was pretty freaked out so I poured my water bottle down the front and hand wiped what I could. Luckily, most of the stuff came off.

When I got home I hosed off the rest of the stuff, and I noticed that a piece of plastic on the front honeycomb grill piece on the bottom of the car was snapped in half. There was a nice dent in the "moustache" right above it.

Then I remembered last week when I was on my way to work and some prison worker dickhead was edging grass near the side of the road. He didn't stop edging as I drove by, and his edger threw a huge rock towards me. I heard the impact, but never found the damage. I assumed it was underneath the car. Looks like I finally found it

So, what was your inaugural damage like? Share your horror story here!

I'll take this one.... I was travelling on 93 North just north of Boston. And there is a sign that CLEARLY READS EXIT ONLY and this D-Bag in his beater is in the EXIT ONLY LANE. I'm in the middle lane. As we approach the exit this D-Bag just keeps driving like nothing happened meanwhile he's now in the breakdown lane. Kicks up a golf ball size chunk of tar and PING right off my hood and over my car. Nice dent and scratch. I must have looked like the Tasmanian Devil in my car to this guy but what the hell was I supposed to do.

I've had a few other small ones. I wiped off Sea Gull s*** off my car and it scratched my paint. FYI there is crushed sea shells in seagull poop.

I got my windows tinted last Wednesday, well yesterday I was on the interstate and a big rock hit my windshield and now I have a nice 6 or 7 inch crack on the drivers side. So I get to pay for a windshield and a new eyebrow for the car.

My damage cherry was popped even before I owned it. Some service monkey kissed the bumper gently while putting my car on a rack for display. Just superficial, but there were two small marks where paint was scratched. Sales manager s*** a brick and vowed to find out which minion was responsible. I had them write a We Owe to fix the scratches... and throw in a few accessories I was planning on buying anyway valued at $100.

Girlfriend got pissed that I was leaving the house and put a fist-sized crease on my hood. Paintless guy says it'll come out.

Most likely your insurance will cover the windshield completely -- no deductible.

I sincerely hope that this incident was followed by a mighty bitchsmack. I love my fiancee and all, but come on.......don't mess with the car because you can't control your emotions. Very childish.

Not physical damage I suppose, I haven't had any of that yet. Although one of my friends was drunk and puked all over my car pretty much while we were driving down the road at 40mph, he just barely got his head out the window before it happened, and yes there was some blowback . The entire side of my car window-back was covered in speed line puke. Spent hours cleaning it out of every knook and cranny from the window trim to the inside door panel, and had to pressure wash the outside, didn't want any stomach acids eating into my fragile paint. It's fine now though, thank god 95% of it went out the window.

I was at work and I backed out into a truck (I couldnt see through my tint at night lol) My rear bumper was cracked in half. Luckily my uncles own a body shop and my dad works there. They repaired the bumper in a day. I am still flossing the same bumper on my car. You couldnt tell unless I told you.

Super Bowl weekend, last year.... Halftime, kids were playing football outside. Throwing the football around and BAAAAAM. Looked at my brother and said WTF!!! Went out on the porch and the kids were still playing. Next day at work, I was getting out of my car in the parking structure. I glance over at this HOOOOOOOT girl 2 cars over and saw a BIG dent on the roof right in front of my antenna. THANKS KIDS NEXT DOOR!!! (kissass)

And let's add to my first damages, my windshield still isn't fixed and today I have a flat tire. Talk about bad luck.

Hale damage (60 dents in roof) repaired using PDR so no paint was compromised. Right doors were also keyed. I did post pics of same on here
