So, i was up most of the night with a massive toothache As i was backing out of my driveway to go get more medicine, I backed into my cousins essuuuvveee..



The carange..

 

DOH!!

when you replace the light, make sure you clean all the old goo off and seal the light really well. I can't tell you how many flooded trunks I've seen because people don't replace the black goo on the light and they get a thin line of dirt across the seal. then it leaks slowly forever......

 

Yeah, the taillight will be fixed asap, but damn! why did it have to crease the corner!

 

Sucks! Nothing a turbo wouldn't fix

 

lol Ya think it would straighten the dent out?

 

Little bondo and some Krylon will fix the bump....

 

I thought about busting out the ole rubber mallet on it with a rag draped over the area, just to straighten out the dent as good a possible.

If it still looks bad after that, then out comes the bondo.

 

ouch that sucks.... got driveway lights?

 

Didn't you just get that painted not too long ago? That sucks. Damn SUV's, no respect for the maxima.

 

It was broad daylight..

No new paint here, still the oem paint..

 

 

+1 this is the first actual dent/accident I've had in this car since i have owned it, almost 9 freaking years!!

 

well, consider this; it took 9 years, and a toothache to do any damage to the body. its totaled. DIBS ON WHEELS!

 

Considering it's 22 miles away from 340k, yep, it's a total..

 

well, despite 14 years, and 340k, she still looks good.
you have a new engine for it, yet?
and did you get your medication?

 

Thanks
Nope
Yep..

 

I got a tail lol.

 

That sucks. Some a**hole left some of his red paint on one of my passenger doors sometime last night too. Didn't leave a dent though, gonna see if I can clay it off or something. In any case, I'm not too pissed since I'm taking her in to get detailed (by detailed I mean my scratches, nicks, dents, paint chips, ect are getting fixed and probably a good PC to make the paint look better)

 

Look at the bright side, wait, there isn't one, o rmaybe it could have been worse

PDR guys are miracle workers, not going to be the end-all clearly, but they can get alot of it out.

SUV's clearly at fault Guilty of the same thing, doesn't that feeling suck when you crack it and know what just happened, body work sucks and it doesn't take much, good luck getting it back to nice shape though. $200 deductible FTW, "some duesch in a parking lot must have hit me"

 

what about ur cousin's car. is that an x5?

 

We are not doing any insurance deals, she's happy with her dent, and i am happy with mine.

 

Jeep Grand Cherokee.

she trades cars everytime the moon changes place so the dent will just give her an excuse to hit the car lot later this week.

 

A pair of pliers and a hammer should take care of that!

 

damn, she should give you a new car then. sucks that happened to you but don't worry i have plenty of dents and paint flaking away on mine.

 

Ouch.
My dad backed up in to the front fender of my then dent-free '91GXE.
Since it was 0atmeal and too much $$ to get repainted I did what I could with touch-up paint.

 

that'll buff right out

 

I tried that already, didn't work..

So i whacked it with a rubber mallet a few times

I just need to hit up the local j-yard for a taillight, In the rain of course

 

I would like to see how you did it. Maybe I can fix my dent. What is the "goo" on the taillight?

 

Pics coming tomorrow after i replace the taillight.

The "goo" is behind the taillight housing, kinda blackish gooey crap.. it makes a seal to keep water from getting into your trunk.

 

Thanks.
I mean where can I find the goo in the store? Is it RTV sealant?

 

Welp, it's mostly fixed.

 

was that gap like that before?

 

Yeah, the plastic bumper has shrunk a little from the years of sun damage, so it's kinda "pulled' in on both edges like that.

 

Left Fender Damage + ? = Left Fender Fixed.

How did you do it?

 

not bad.. do you have any plans to finish getting the little dents out? or just gonna leave the small dents there and chalk it up to 'it was bound to happen some day'?

 

Huh? translation?

Nothing right now, weather is too crappy.

 

Doesn't look bad now.

What about your cousin's SUV?

 

No clue, i haven't seen her since.

 

how come i see de shadow of ur VG in ur VE in every pic lol...:P

congrats u got ur tail fixed..how about the rest? r u doing it ur self or taking it to shop?

 

It's parked next to it most of the time..

Myself if i decide to mess with it..ugh..
