That sucks man. But you gotta remember, shes only human. Dont be too hard on her. I gaurentee shes feels worse about it than you could imagine. One time my dad was carrying some conduit in the garage and scraped his car with it. I know if i woulda done it i woulda been dead but since that happened it kinda gets me off the hook for stuipid stuff i do. haha. Everyone makes mistakes. Nick
If there's no structual damage to the inside door frame, maybe you could reskin it, and save having to chop the window frame again?
Man I cant even get my lady to ride with me let alone get near my truck. Sorry to hear about your merc!!......
I get the shakes just looking at your pics...i cant even imagine............ nope....cant even imagine. all you people who say "she needs a hug"..........call me incensitive....he she it whomever would NO be getting a hug. best to just let me be for a day at least.
I was sweeping out the van (granted it AINT a merc) and my girlfriend was helping..i told her before she started...WATCH the roof....make sure the handle doesnt hit.. she gives me the "I know im not an idiot" thing.... BANG the damn roof. i said DAMNIT WATCH THE ROOF!!!!!!!! 2 seconds later BANG again.. i rip the broom away... "why are you mad" hahahaha. yeah i got over it pretty quick but dang ya want me to kiss ya for it? for all you peopl ewho say "she was helping by sweeping for you anyways." whatever.
Shit happens.Sure,this is irritating but considering all the metal work involved to build this Merc from the 4-door stocker it once was,I think you will have fixed this damage easily.
It's tough to tell from the pic.'s, but I think a good body guy could take care of you. When your door panels are removed, can you get to the inside of the dent w/ a dolly?
you are right tom.. thats what im tellin myself, i just dont feel like doin it!! ill give it a few days then tear into it,, thanks guys
OK Dave, It's been 4 hours now so let me guess...You closed down the shop for the day...Charlies on the other side of the Merc stripping the scallops...and you have the door in primer already. How close am I?????
Instead of crying over it like a little girl, I'd fix it. Once I dated some jerk who kicked my doors in when I dumped him.........easy cheesy. I drilled a small hole in the door, inserted the hook of a rubber snubber, put my foot on the door and pulled........popped it right out. I know it sounds SO whitetrash but it was the only thing I could come up with at the time! xxx Brandy
dont feel bad i just fucked up my car two hours ago and i cant even blame the wife (she has enough on her hands with driving over parking blocks once a week) I think you can fix that in fact i know you can. and you better cause thats my fav merc ever built! o yea i forgot to chain my hood down and it flew up and smashed it all to hell and took the top of the passanger fender with it to. hell two days before billetproof.... yay!!! so least u have some one else to be mad at besides your self
dude... what a baby... my advice (same thing i told my sister) stop dating guys, seems like you have a string of idiots following you around. did you kick him in the nutts?
Yea, but I think she owes him more than a big hug............................ Bummer bro. Thats a righteous Merc.
dammnnn Dave...those photos just ruined my day and I've never even met you or seen you car in person - I can't imagine how you feel. The metal work is not the issue - we all know you've got that handled - it's matching the custom paint that sucks. All I can say, if you love your wife, forgive her and don't keep reminding her about it. These kind of things - where they think you'll go ballistic and lord it over them forever - and then you don't....trust me, you'll reap the rewards forever. At least that way, you'll get something good out of it.
damn...... well if you cant just re-skin it doesnt joe < junkyard dog > have like 6 mercs or something ludicris like that? maybe hed have a door?
Wow - my wifes name is Jennifer too... As mad as you are at her right now - you know that she feels 10 times worse. When something like this happens, I think that it is a true test of a relationship. If she really truly loves and cares about you - she will do something to make you feel better (midget hooker?) and show you how sorry she is. If she does nothing and just dosen't give a fuck - call a lawyer.
honestly the ol lady feels terrible and im not really mad at her, if i wasnt so bizzy feeling sorry for myself ide feel bad for her too! thats why they call them accidents not on purposes
