First ding
Gotta love the big city. I have been parking in lots far from other cars. I try to parallel park, assuming that the only damage could be on the bumpers. I forgot about our great NYC taxi cabs double parking to let careless passangers out. Apparantly one of them slammed into my drivers rear quater panal. It looks like there is no indentation, just yellow paint that hopefully will rub off.

If there is no ding just use a little rubbing compound. It sucks that it's bright yellow.

LOL! To bad they couldn't have got you on the flames so you wouldn't have seen it as much. :)

Not that easy. I had vinyl racing stripes on my Mustang and there were chips in it from rocks and stuff with no tears around them. You would be surprised at how strong vinyl is. Someone could open there door into your flames with no fear of tearing your vinyl.

That's a real drag. At least it wasn't worse. Here's what I came home to today:



My son was playing around with his Johnny Lightning HHR!

It could be worst. Someone hit and sratched my bumper. I would take yellow paint on the bumper any day.
