posted before on this but i do feel really bad about this, just carry a pic of this in your wallet for when you stumble in at 530am with no shoes, reaking of jack, with lipstick on your cheek... just hold it up... and say we're even, like a get out of jail free card -on a similiar note my boss' wife took him to the chevy dealership to pick up his new corvette a few years ago and she followed him home to promptly ram him from behind at a light and total the car 20 minutes into its ownership
Maybe you could reskin that door with new metal if the framework isn't too bent. It might not be as bad as it looks.Not sure what is under it for body work already. Sorry about the car but it can be fixed.
I just saw a commercial for this thing called the "Ding King" where you put some hot glue on the dent and put a puller on there and it pops the dent out like new. You should get one of those. They're only like two easy payments of $19.95 plus S&H. It works good, they showed it right on TV. Bodymen are going to be obsolete now.
You don't need a door; a good metal man can straighten that one. I'll be easier by far than finding, chopping, & restoring another door. What a bummer, though! ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver" America - made in China!
damn and that thing was PERFECT. ...but look at this way. it's still got about 100 LESS dents than 99.5% of the cars on the HAMB. good luck on getting it back to where it was.
i duno after reading everybodys horror stories about thier wives fuckin up their rides, i dont know if i really want to get married!
I was thinking the same thing. My truck kinda looks like that before anyone hit it (at least while I've owned it).
I attract the WRONG kind..........they THINK they like a smart, strong woman......but not really! Last chick I dated pulled my hair, keyed the car and wrote ALL over my windows in red lipstick.........AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON"T KNOW.......red lipstick STAINS old glass!!! I'm going celebate. It's cheaper and easier on my tin! xxx Brandy
every single car my wife has driven, has been dented, scraped or scratched, and every incident was preventable. what do i do? i shake my head and forget about it. if she wants to drive beat up cars, i can't seem to stop her
I love it when Gracie gets mad. God's honest truth, this a true story, I'm not making any of it up. I used to date this wild gal and I drove my '54 Chevy to her parents house for Thankgiving Dinner, as y'all know that's when The Daytona Turkey Run is too. The car was freshly painted in it's original incarnation. We had dinner and all that bollocks and the gal had to move the family's bitchen' van, she backed it right into the passenger rear quarter and smashed the tailight, and I was gonna go to Daytona the next day. After I blew a fuse she realized how bad I felt that she let me take her into the back seat of the '54 and boink the living hell out of her, and this was with the car parked right in front of her parent's house in broad daylight. Make up sex is indeed quite gratifying. I touched up the paint and found a new tailight in a junkyard and went to Daytona the next day. I also managed to bust the windshiled on this gal's SUV whilst engaged in parking lot shenanigans. Sheeeit, those were the days.
not to change the subject,,,BUT....Did Brandy say that she dated a jerk who kicked her doors in then the last chick she dated pulled her haior & etc? Plus she loves cars and pulled the dent out herself...F@#ING SWEEET!... Back to the topic-I still cant believe what happend,,,it seems like the paint wasnt even dry yet?? Dirty
Sorry to see your car smashed. If my wife was here she could smash both of my merc doors. she's been gone 4 years now. RIP Arleen
how is that "not that bad"...thats fucking gut wretching..."not that bad" is a scrape that can be buffed out... that is pretty fucking bad!!!
Aw man. RIP Arleen. But I'm sure she's up there tearing up all kinds of shit waiting for you to get there.
Dave, i feel sick, i had a feeling when i read the title that i didn't want to open it...but, with your talent, you'll have it straight in no time...thank God it was just the door and didn't extend into the quarter......
"It aint that bad" ??? Hell, I'm suprised she did't tell you to call the Dent Wizard. Time to widen the driveway. Billy
Dave: I know it is easier to say when you are not the person on the receiving end,but it is after all a repairable,inanimate object.My wife(current)backed over a vintage Pepsi-Cola cooler that I had just finished washing out and left to dry in our driveway in preparation for a guy coming down to buy it.He was more upset than I was! Then I remembered a lot of the stupid things I've done over the years and I laugh.You have to my man because the only person you're REALLY upsetting is yourself. Did you ask Kelsey if he knew where there was one? Ray
Once my chick helped me wax my '94 Mustang Cobra before a cruise night. To thank her and show some trust, I tossed her the keys and told her to bring it around to the front of the house. She ran it right into my brand new garage door. I feel your pain. I'll help you bury the body.
I suppose thats why none of my shit it real nice. I'm sorry to see that fine Merc damaged. Sounds like you have it covered for the repair. I'm sure it will be as good as it was. When she said it "wasn't that bad" she was right. I sure could have been a lot worse, it was "just" the door, not the whole side. She knows what you are capable of repairing. I'm sure she was sick too. At least she had the guts to come in and tell you what she did. Now that the instant pissed off mood is over with, go give her that hug. The damage is done to the door, no one died from it. Forgive her and move on with life. If something bad happened tomorrow, the last thing you want to remember is all she knew was you were pissed off at her because of a damn car door. Life is too short to waste time being pissed off, it gets in the way of enjoying the rest of your life. My wife and I had a real nice car once, she totaled it, her fault. She was worried about how mad I was going to be about the car. I was worried about her. The car was still just a car (although a nice one) and we replaced it with another car. Replacing her wouldn't be possible. I can see why so many marrages fail, a lot of you guys have some screwed up priorities. You have to start putting people in your life above things in your life, cause if you don't, when the things wear out there will be nothing left. Gene
THAT'S GREAT! I wish something like that could happen to me. You must have major credits now man. I would just milk that sucker dry ... then fix it. Cool.
you didnt really like that color any ways right?now its time for a new outfit for the car.summer is here so lets see a new color for each season. jason
Just think of how long it must have took her to muster up the guts to go in and break it to ya. Im sure shes being pretty hard on herself. Id say she owes you a Nice dinner at a nice returaunt... And maybe a backrub.... Just think, it will be good as new and just a memory by the time I put up my "oh man my wife wrecked my 56 buick" post!
