Eh it's bound to happen sooner or later. And it happend in a town full of lowsy drivers (Charlottesville, VA). No offense to any TL owners from there. Anyways, this one damaged the paint. What can I do? How much will it cost? Should I wait for more dents and then fix them all in one go?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Happened to me about a month ago. Inconsiderate bastards!! Took it to a paintless dent repair place and they only charged me $20. Looks like new now. Not sure about yours since the paint came off. Sorry to hear that.

Something saved my TL from getting one today! My friend and I were a headed to a party and he drove instead of me. We stopped by a grocery store and we were waiting for his wife to go in the store and come right back out. Sure enough, this rather large woman in a truck opened her door all the way right into his 2001 Expedition!! I felt bad for my friend but I was glad we didn't take my car.

That lady just prentened she didn't see us. We were like WTF?? Some people are idiots and just don't respect other people's property!!

Should I at least get the paint fixed because the dent doesn't bother me as much as the gashes on the paint. How do I go about fixing that up?
