Help...just dented and chipped paint off of car

[Static911]

Well, I had to do it...tried squeezing a 1993 LS400 in between FOUR trucks and 1 TAHOE in the back parking lot

There is an indentation that runs about 1.25 foot across the driver side passenger door (under a really nasty dent). The indentation is noticable, but no paint fell off since I rubbed it against the bumper of a f150.

Please recommend me a place and about how much would it cost to bump it back out?

ALSO, i chipped paint off the front left side (below the yellow bumper lights)as i tried backing up and inadvertantly scraped across concrete. How would I take care of that?

Also, can anyone recommend me a place in dallas area that could take care of the problems and at a reasonable cost?

Thank-you!

OMG You just trashed a Lexus? 1.25 ft?!?! slow down! Thats gonna cost you a pretty penny, a shop is gonna charge you at least $1,000 depends on whether the door will need replaced. As I told someone in another thread, sometimes these guys that restore classic cars, etc, can do WONDERS with a nasty dent for alot less money. PAY ATTENTION, be nice to thy Lexus!

actually, i was driving VERY slowly...but got wedged between the trucks and SUV....the truck didn't park at angle like he should have...but other cars did, so boom, i got stuck (and i'm kinda inexperienced at driving)

I had to learn parralel parking at 10pm at night with two trashcans as my markers

There was party on other street...since we live in nice area, ppl drive around to check other ppl's houses...well, soon enough, this s600 pulls up slowly...guy and his wife were looking at me weird as if I was driving a stolen car or something (i was practising in my dad's 1999 ls400...since my window was down too, i gave them the look like if your so rich, why don't you build a house here too..

well enough of my venting...still pissed all this happened to me

Did you ever think of not parking there? or waiting until on of the other cars move, or something?

Yeah man, hopefully you have full coverage or have a nice chunk of change in the bank. It is going to be well of $1,000.

 

[Static911]

i have full coverage...i know parent's WON'T BE mad cuz they know of risk already. I'm just pissed at my own stupidity.

it was already 11pm by time i came back...since we have designated spots to park...i can't park elsewhere or I get tix or tow

LOL - you remind me of most Lexus drivers I see - they can't drive, and really don't know the size of their vehicle.















Sorry your Lexus got damaged

Can any rich person drive besides people like Gordan and Andretti? BMW drivers need the car to handle well cause they haven't got a clue what's going on outside their Fone conversation and that Tunnel they seem to ALWAYS be driving through

This thread makes me sick. :disgust:

 

[Static911]

well, excuse me i had to park and pulled allniter trying to finish paper...the get-together was longer than anticipated...so at 11pm, i was like...dang, try to squeeze in..but to no avail

I must say, I know I drive a clunker...my father's ls400 is much more responsive in terms of hp and handling...mine isn't all that...we call it the slow-mobile...even my mom's 430 takes off and my sis' rx300...i drive the oldest car in family!

i will flat out and say it:

its not the money that is the issue...if gonna cost me $1k fine, i pay. Its the fact I ACTUALLY screwed up the car...i mean, normally, i am very safe driver...let ppl cut me off and i don't retaliate...drive speed limit...always courteous...no speeding tix...no traffic tix watsoever
but i TRULY messed up this time

O yeah, ppl in this parking lot normally have dents in car by end of year (I moved to 1-bedroom apt, but share same parking lot)

a camero and/or firebird HAVE VERY HARD time getting in and out...only the civic, audi a4 and the tercel have it ez
