Eating at McDonald's: bad for your health and for your car.

Damn! Sorry to hear that. I hope the Camry is OK... JUST KIDDING

I had a similar thing happen to me once. Drove my wifes BRAND NEW car out of the showroom and had a truck fling a huge rock onto the bonnet which caused a massive dent and scratched the paint right off...

Damn trucks and camry drivers!

It was a minor hit, her Camry has a huge tire mark on the rear bumper (why the f did the design the back end to be so big? is it because all the camry drivers have their a$$ up in their head?!?) The fender is dented slightly, it's almost impossible to see with your eye. I could feel it, I also want hte car to be realigned as she tap the wheel very slightly

Musta been than burned out light bulb.

If the fender isn't creased, they can probably just pop it out, no painting needed. At least you got the first damage out of the way now...the future ones won't be as painful. And its gonna happen.

Adding to the bad luck thread here...our former Grand Cherokee picked up a dent in the dealer's lot from the time we bought it, and the time we picked it up. How's that for a nice surprise, eh?

Oh yeah, the car was hit after we had just gotten the car back from MBZ on the light bulb. The McDonalds is RIGHT next to the MBZ.....

come on, I hope that was a joke...

it's a MB C-Class, not a Bentley. even if it was a Bentley, there's quite a few of us that don't need to eat at nice restaurants all the time. if you want something quick and cheap (not to mention unhealthy), then there's nothing wrong with Micky-D's or any fast food chain for that matter. I don't think there's any stigma for eating at Micky-D's. hell, I go through the drive-thru for breakfast at least once a week.

driving a Benz shouldn't limit you to where you can go/eat. hell, even in HS when my C280 Sport was new, I ate at fast food chains in the ghetto (Tommy's for you so. cal peeps). now my fat *** has to get back in shape b/c of it...

I did see an aston martin vanquish come out of a taco bell drive through one time, that was pretty hott...

that just brings me to the point, who cares what people think? esp. if you don't know em. I could personally care less if someone thought I blew my wad on my car. ****, I'm still driving a pretty decent car, nothing wrong with being frugal.

Dam that's too bad about your car, but hopefully everything gets fixed to new condition and you can cruise through the Drive through once again at McD's.

Yea and did you know McRib is back?!!?? I don't eat there 3x a day, everyday, only once in a while, but those McRibs sure are tasty :p

Got the estimate back, $408 without alignment from the ghetto adjuster (I filed a complaint on him with the state as they are licensed). The MBZ around the area want $1300. Of course I can drop off the car and have them deal with it, but i am worried about taking the car in and have them repaint 1/3 of the front end for a damage that you cant see with your eyes. I might as well take the money and make a payment on it
