We got hit with a big snow storm here, and the snow plow company skipped out on us. Bastards.

There's about 8 inches of snow on the ground, and the clearance on my car is like 5", so do the math. I got stuck so bad, and because of the way the driveway is shaped, I started sliding to the left, and ended up perpendicular to the driveway.

So I went inside, and got like 8 guys out, and they pushed me out. However, they pushed on the passenger side fender a little too hard, and now it's dented in 3 different places.

I'm so pissed right now, but just at myself. I shouldn't have driven, but I had to go to the library on campus to study for a while, and I decided to drive; the main roads are fine, but I should've thought about the driveway situation. I don't hold any of them responsible for it, because they were just trying to help.

But this is probably going to cost another 250 bucks or so to fix and repaint. Man, next time I see the snow plow company guy here, I'm gonna give him an earful. They are so lazy, and never ever come. Unfortunately, the decision has to go through the nationals (fraternity house) in order to change companies, and of course, as any Greek member would know, the nationals suck. They can't make up an easy decision to save their lives.

Anyway, I just wanted to vent. I'm gonna go study for this impossible anthropology exam now.

 

that sucks
how low did u drop actually?

 

Check the Yellow Pages for Paintless dent removal like Dent Doctor. They can remove the dent without having to paint.

 

Assuming the paint isn't cracked.

 

thats sucks i kno how u feel my driver side fender is hit my MOM did it lol im not sure if to get a new fender or not but mine the paint is all chipped and cracked hopefully yours isnt heres how mine looks does yours look like this i doubt it lol





cant really see it but u get the idea

 

man i would be heated, i know how you feel tho, i think... go and jump those 8 guys

 

Bummer man! that sucks. i have 2 dents on the top part of my fender from a friend. he was pushing up and down to compare how stiff my suspension is compared to his. now i have 2 palm prints on the top of my fender. (ill take them out when i repaint my front end this spring)

 

I have three dents on top of my driver side fender...did it myself. Checking for a squeak and didn't realize I've dented it until I washed my car.

 

kinda sucks on how thin the metal is doesnt it

 

Rob, I feel sorry for ya bro...all the things that happened to your TL, and now this.

 

yeah yeah i felt like bein a smartass today

 

Shut up, Harsheel. Smart-ass.

The paint isn't chipped or cracked, but who knows? With my luck, it probably will once the dents are pulled out.

I honestly don't think I'll be driving the TL next winter. Then again, I'm graduating soon, so I don't know where I"m gonna end up living. Either way, I really don't want to drive it in the snow anymore.

 

whoa.....wtf were they pushing with??.....they're hands??

never thought you could dent a fender that easily....

 

Yep, they were just pushing with their hands. Weak.

Anyway, I talked to Ken at the shop today, and he said 250 bucks to fix and paint the fender, and paint the spoiler. So I'm gonna bump the spoiler up on my to-do list.
