3 weeks old, 900 miles, always park out in the boondocks, clayed and nxt'd, pampered like my own baby, and I gouge the right front fender putting away my lawnmower. $689. damage, repaint the entire fender, part of the hood and passenger door, remove and reinstall headlight, side marker light and God knows what else. I'm sick.

 

That must be one hell of a lawnmower!

Sorry, man.

 

Well, it's a Honda!!

 

Ouch...I feel for ya man!! For now on, I bet that TL is nowhere near the garage when you put your mower away.

 

a van driving in front of me today ran over a rock that was on the shoulder. smashed the rock into a million pieces. grrrrrrr i tried to slow down and dodge it but a couple nicked me pretty good. i got 3 rock chips on my fender that is very visible from far away, and who knows how many chips on my bumper. how much does it cost to repaint a fender?

 

Depends (according to the estimator I talked with this morning) on the color. Because I've got the Redondo Red it's not a simple matter to blend and that's why for a one inch scratch they have to paint fender, hood and door to get it right. If yours is black or white in color it's easier to do a much smaller repair.

 

Oh the irony. Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully they did a good job though.

 

I take it in next Wednesday and it'll take 3 days to fix.....Thanks, I'll let you know how it turns out. I just have a little scratch, but I saw some brand new Lexus 470's, upper end Benz's (acid rain damage) and other new Acura's in their shop that really had some serious damage....very depressing.

 

i bet you beat the sh!t out of that lawn mower. that sucks man. happens to everyone though, just slow down whenever you are near your car. that's what i do. everytime i get in or out or even near my car, i check to see what i'm holding and if it will do crap to my car. can never be too careful. anyways gl w/ that

 

mine is in the shop right now to fix dent in rear corner panal from a friggin door...400.00 i hate people

 

OK, and you're in Annapolis, huh? You don't by any chance own guns, do you? I used to enjoy visiting Annapolis. Maybe I'll keep my distance for a while.

 

dont worry im always friendly to fellow tl owners....nothing stops a tailgaiter like waving my sig 229 out the sunroof...you should see them scatter

 

Thats it. I'm building that shed. No metal objects within 30 feet.........
