Seems like we said the same thing 6 months ago... Hopefully things are starting to look up for you and you're back to stay. -Frank
#22493 of 31395 weekend of fun, and then... by c_hunter Oct 12, 2004 (5:31 am)
Harmony and I had a great weekend in the mountains this weekend, camping and hiking in Shenandoah and then spending a night in a 5-star hotel with a fancy dinner (talk about a packing nightmare to handle all those extremes). The weather was perfect, the foliage was perfect, and we had a wonderful time. Then, Monday morning as we are checking out, I notice that someone clobbered the driver's door on my new XT with their bumper!! Yeesh! Not a good way to end a nice weekend. All said, it's minor -- about a 6" horizontal crease in the sheetmetal, one pucker in the sheetmetal, and paint scraped off the lower cladding and door trim. It looks worse than it is. I am hoping I can get away with paintless dent repair and touchup, since no paint was scraped off the sheetmetal. I know it would probably be a $700-1000 repair / door repaint if I went to a traditional body shop. Hotel security took some photos, and hinted that their insurance might cover the repair, so we'll see how it works out. And here I thought I had this choice "end" parallel parking spot; I have no clue how someone managed to whale the side of the car! Craig Replies to this message: hypov (Oct 12, 2004 5:41 am)

Replying to: c_hunter (Oct 12, 2004 5:31 am) I have no clue how someone managed to whale the side of the car! One who can't navigate a 'whale'? -Dave

Craig, Sorry to hear about your first mishap. That first one's gotta hurt. Well, if it's of any consolation, my GT is getting it's share of rock chips from my daily highway commute. I already have a big ding in my side mirror on the driver's side. It catches my eye every time I get in the car. Grrrr... But what can you do. Ken

If only the damage was on the passenger side, eh? I think all of my cars have gotten dinged/damaged on the driver side where I notice it every day. Maybe I ought to start driving in reverse... Craig

Sorry about the ding, Craig. I got my first one a few weeks ago, a nice line where a door hit my driver's side back door. Oh well, can't stay new forever. Makes you wonder why more companies don't do the Saturn thing. I have some friends with Saturns- 6-7 years old, no dings! tom

Craig, LOL. Sometimes I dread washing and detailing my car because I'm bound to find a new ding or chip. Ken

Sorry to hear that,it is bad enough when you get a hit like that but then the S/head takes off. Ken you can get that 3M clear for the mirrors and Hood. Cheers Pat.
