What would your first damage be?

Ah, any new car owner's fear. What do you think your first injury would be to your new fit? I was gonna post this earlier, but today i actually scratched it so my post wont' be a hypothetical response. I was leaving the parking lot and the 1st gear of the fit is fast, so it went off the curbe onto the upward bulging street and *schrunch*. I can't see it since its on the bottom of the bumper, but ican feel it. I drive a fit sport, whose body kit does lower it a lil more than the base.

When I was getting out of my car to pump gas for the first time, the door swung out and hit the pump. I almost had a heartache but, thankfully, it didn't leave a mark. As for bird droppings, if that's considered damage, my car was damaged Thursday. Birds apparently know when you get a new car.

I believe the door jams, and rocker trim on my sport will be vulnerable to scuffs from our kids ingress / egress.

Frikkin' bug marks. I have a teeny little mark in the paint from a bug that just won't come out.

No dings yet. Those will be next. I was really scared last week that it would hail here again, but thankfully, it didn't.

After that? I foresee scratching up my bumper on something. Most likely a low cement wall.

I came out of a parking lot that had too steep of an exit and it scrathed just the black plastic circle that is undert the front bumper in both corners.
I got lucky but that will be the first damage to paint as well.

When I bought my first car, I parked it away from EVERYTHING. But we'll see how attach I become when I get my fit.

Currently I have a couple of damages to my car

Within 3 months some wanker keyed my car from back panel all the way to driver side door.

Got loads of door dents cos some people are inconsiderate

I got a scrape off another vehicles paint on the rear bottom left of my bumper cos some idiot can't drive. (I can get rid of it with wax)

Plus I have scraped my front bumper because I forgot to put my handbrake on *blush*

Some jerk dinged my rear right passenger door. alsdkfjalskdfjlsdkjf.

The worst part is that they chipped the paint. I'm so pissed.


Size and relative location:


My friend knows a PDR (paintless dent removal) guy, and I have the touch-up paint from the dealer, so I might get it fixed. What a sad day it was, finding the ding last week.
