Finally got a dent...

[Aurora40]

Man, I'd managed to steer clear of dents for a long time. Sure there are small chips and such, and there's one or two small chips from a door, but no dents. All that has changed now... Apparently the Aurora picked up a dent on the back passenger side door, rather high up on it too.

It's not too noticable, though. But it sort of sucks. I guess it probably happened in the last month, most likely on a recent road trip. :-\



As an aside, I Klasse'd up the car this weekend and then put on an application of Zaino Z5. The Klasse went on real nice. I like that stuff. Klasse AIO is such an easy prep step. It has decent chemical cleaning and leaves a shiny smooth surface behind. It's very easy to use. The Zaino was sort of a why not because I felt like doing something. I thought about a carnauba wax, but mehh, went with the sealants instead.

man that sucks. not going to report it to the insurance company?

sorry to hear about that first dent Bob. I'd be upset too if I had a car as immaculate as yours. I get upset enough when I see new dents/scratches and mine's far from immaculate.

[stevensolds]

That sucks bob. You kept that thing so nice. It looks like a factory new car all the time. Even the engine bay does. Obviously you take great pride in ownership of it.

I only have 2 or 3 dents on mine. I had 8 or 9 of them when i got it -- lost count. Had them all fixed.

Ouch. It's such a small dent though, only the loving owner would notice. I wonder if one of those paintless dent-repair places can fix it?

That's why whenever I park in a parking lot, I park as far
away from other cars as possible.

[oldsfanatic]

I swear there's people out there that would damage a car because it looks nice. Have a scratch on my hood that I can't explain and it could be act of vandalism.

Wicked off topic, but I just noticed...doesnt Bobs shutters on his house match his paint colour on his Aurora..

[stickking1]

LOL, yeah to really fix that dent right, the car will need a full-on $10,000 strip-down, body smoothing, and repaint. So I guess if I knock that off the price you can have it for $37.

You have to get here in the next 5 minutes, though, before my wife buys it from me.

[stickking1]

Heck, even 10K is a steal!

Leave the keys in the ignition...you mind if I pay ya the $37 in change? ;D

Too late, my wife already gave me $38 for it. Now she wants me to fix the dent for her...

[Letitroll98]

You go ripped, I was gonna give you $42.50 and a can of tire shine for it.

Was recently looking at the '01... From certain angles, there's one little outward dent on the driver's side quarter panel. I can't even take a picture of it. It's barely noticeable. I've heard of this on other 2nd-Gen Auroras, and not on any other car. Anyone else w/ this problem?

LOL, I didn't notice this comment earlier. They do match! That's the only reason I was interested in the house...

[macadamiaman]

I never understood those fake shutters. Why??? You can't say because of looks, because they just look silly, both in style and function. ahhh. Sorry, off topic, nevermind. But I had to post this.
