Thud!...no idea what it was

So i pull out of the garage today and turn onto the street. i drive about 50 feet and hear a dull thud. to be safe, i pull over to see if i hit something, having no idea what the sound was. needless to say, nothing was around, except for a small dent on the passenger door. all i can figure is that a bird flew into it. i'm going to take it to a guy this weekend to see if i can get the dent out, it's pretty small, but it's right on the line of the door (or is crease the proper term), you know, the part of the door that isn't completely smooth on our tsx?

That's gonna be a toughy to get done through paintless dent removal if it's right on the line of the crease...

i've seen kids around here throwing rocks at cars passing by, as well as shooting BB guns at them. My parked accord had a BB gun on it's left door, around where the TSX's crease would be..

Your car was obviously too clean.

Either that or the bird saw Excited's RBP thread and was seeking revenge.

1. I'm starting to realize the body metal is so thin is a shame.

2. I like the local kids theory. Or perhaps an errant golf ball?

Dog chasing car and running into the side? I've heard of that happening before.

Don't lean or rest anything on top of the trunk lid. It dents very easily.

So i tried to take a picture, but the dent is so tiny it's impossible to capture with my digi. it's like a little dimple, but right on the line on the door. still don't know the proper word for that line. it's not really a seam, but i think everyone knows what i'm referring to.

anyways, i'm going to have it looked at this weekend. along with a small chip in the windshield. rough week for this infant RBP.
