Default Why me?!?

In the past 5 weeks I've barely driven my S2k. One weekend I decide to take her out and go catch a movie with my wife...all is well. I come home and park her and don't take a look at her for two weeks.

This past weekend I take her out and start working on my CF interior. My brother in law askes me about the dent in the side of my car. I thought he was talking about his wife's car, since she's got a dent in it. Nope...that wasn't the case.

I had a dent in the side of my car the size of a very large grapefruit! From the looks of it...it wasn't caused by another car hitting it, rather someone kicking in the side.

So now I have to get some body work done to it...again. (Last time someone hit my car and bent the side of my rear bumper and scraped the paint off of it.)

Why are some people such idiots?!?

That truly Sucks. People do suck. This is why I park mine as far away as possible and on an end. Hopefully Dr. Dent can take it out without any noticeable effects.

wow, that sux. i didn't think it would be possible to dent a car by kicking it - if that's what happened, they must've taken a running start or something. which leads me to this question - where do you think it happened? was there a day when you came back to the car and the alarm chirped different cuz it'd been set off? it blows me away that there's people like that out there.

I'm thinking it happened at the movie theaters. It was dark and late by the time we got out so I wouldn't have noticed it then. The reason it looks like its a kick is because there are no visible scratches, or chips in the paint at all. And it was in a location that a car couldn't have really hit at the time. *sigh*

you have to be careful when park in a movie threater...I always worry when i park my S2000 in the parking lot of movie threater...so I just don't drive my S2000 to movie anymore.

Yeah, I'm not going to drive that car down to the theaters any more. It used to be my daily driver and when it was I rarely ran into problems...I still can't believe this since I took it out once in like a month.

That sucks. This is the exact reason why I still have my beater Prelude to drive.

Hopefully, you can take it to Dent Wizards to fix it, instead of a bodyshop.

I'll ask around and see what can be done. The rear fender is slighty out of place too. I'll have to check it out some more this weekend. I'll probably call around and see what could be done.

I had a baseball size ding in my door. The dent guys can do wonders. I drive my beater to the movies-- especially Mission Valley Center. Too many rice boyz over there to worry about.
