Sounds like a confession to me

And I swear, Honda's sheetmetal is shit! Compared to my mom's Toyota and my dad's MINI, the CL is like a tin can.

WTF? IMO, I would never take my car thru one of those machines, and knowing how scuff-prone the CL wheels are.

My CL had a ding on the hood upon delivery. It could have been caused by a rock, being parked under a tree with loose acorns...shit, it could be anything. Is it deep?

I've given up...

$75 here, $100 here... For as much of a depreciating POS asset as a car is... It's not worth it.

I rather spend it on beer and cheap women.

But I do see your point... When I got my first ding in my CLS, I ran out and got it repaired... Sold it like two weeks later. :o

My G is still perfect, but the first one is probably gonna drive me to

Yea i got hail damage and still gotta get it fixed. My car got hailed on, and at first i ddnt even notice or think it was damaged. Then like 2 weeks later when i was washing it in the sun i noticed a ding and then another, until in total i found atleast 15-20 over the whole car. You sure you dont have anymore and its not from hail. My cars been hailed on more than 5 times atleast this winter.

Well, the warehouse clubs are selling the dent wizard for $19. Sounds like a good investment for you guys. The hood on my G is aluminum and I'm just waiting for the first rock. I did do the clear bra thing though. Should help some. I had so many on my CL, it wasn't funny. Luckily , I had a wreck a month before I turned the car in and ended up getting a new hood, fenders, and bumpre....good bye rock chips!

Dude... If you didn't see the ding in the door, then why in the HELL would you let someone say "Oh, we found another. That'll be another $75 bucks."

Yeah, I noticed a ding on my hood earlier this week, too. Must've been a rock because it destroyed the paint. It's chipped.

It'll have to be repainted. Dammit.
