man...last night, driving back from a friend's bday dinner in long beach, i was almost home, turning in torrance blvd and prospect, when i hear BAM! in the rear right part of my car..my passanger was like 'WTF!!' but we didnt know what it was, i though i hit a bottle or something in the road, got home and investigated, and there was fruit-like residue were the impact happen, at first i though it might have fallen of a tree or something, so this morning when i went to clean it, it was a side hit, so i assume it was thrown. and after i cleaned up all the crap, what really pissed me off, is there is a small dent and my paint is chipped!!!!



grrr...i just wish i knew who did it....so pissed....****en chicken ****s...

Is it worth the deductable? Ide try to wet sand it or rubbing compound first, if you can.

This happened to a friend of mine year ago. He go out and caught the kids that did it and made their parents pay the bill. But they hit his car with a huge dirt clot and it f-d up the paint bad.

Bl man. I've been in a friends car before when a tranny threw a dead fish into the back window while we were drivin past... The stench was overwhelming.

How u know that was an apple?

kevblah

maybe he licked the car?

Fai+H777

That would be my assumption, it isn't an orange, a plum is too small and really have you ever known someone to throw a pear at a moving vehicle?

Oh the innocence of being a child. I am 20, so retrospect isn't that hard for me, and we all know we have been guilty of stupid, harmful acts of property destruction when we were young. I remember in kindergarten a kid that waited at the bus stop with me was throwing pebbles at cars as they drove by...well one ricoched back and hit me in the front tooth and chipped 80 percent of it off...not a baby tooth either...so while you have to get a paintjob, I've got a life's worth of dental work ahead of me...stupid kid...

GRR A-holes!

AndySays

That sucks, I know the feeling too cuz some kid egg'd my car and the paint peeled in the sun

I'd be really pissed!

Do you think paintless dent removal can get it out?

C24owner

drho2004

yeah im gonna try some DIY things first, i dont think its worth the deductable either...

nlpamg

Seriously, what I would do to those idiots...

thanks man!

Ok so if anyone ever catches someone who threw something at your car or keyed it etc remember to hit him with an open palm, keeping your elbow in your centre and aiming through him. That way, if done correctly you'll rupture his internal organs instead of leaving bruises

There's lots of crazy people out there. I had a drunk come up to my car and kick it a month ago while I was inside stuck in traffic. I had to get the dent removed and painted. I tried to go after him but it wasn't worth it. I could have easily put a hurt on him (he was smaller than me and drunk) but with my luck, I would get arrested for assault and he would get off scott free. Sometimes you just have to let it go and put it behind you.

As for taking care of it, I have a good guy in the O.C. that does paintless dent removal and then air brush work paint, probably a few hundred bucks but cheaper than most peoples insurance deductibles and you don't have to leave your car for 2 weeks at a production body shop and deal with the insurance company.

that's sad but you were still lucky because that pebble could have hit one of your eyes.

You reminded me of something I saw in NYC one night. Me and a group of friends were on 6th Ave. and this big drunk guy walked up to a car service car (you know one of those black lincolns) and i guessed wanted the car to drive him somewhere. When the guy said no and put up his window he started banging on the car, and since it was a red light with like tons of traffic the driver couldn't move. The guy then RIPPED the f-ing wiper off the car and started smacking the car with it! It was kindof comical, but I felt bad for the driver.
