Tuesday morning I woke up with a horrific flu bug that would have normally kept me in bed all day, but unfortunately I had an appointment that day that I couldn't miss. Anyhow, I was insanely dizzy and feverish all day and I could barely walk 5 feet without wanting to fall over.

With our elevators being down, I had to carry a 13" portable TV/VCR combo down 4 flights of stairs and to the parking garage with a nasty fever. Add in the fact that it was 114 degrees out and you can only image how covered in sweat I was by the time I reached my car.

As I got to my car, I opened my front passenger door to set the TV on the front seat. As I went to put the TV in, I inadvertendly stumbled to my left and I could only watch the TV slip out of my sweaty hands and slam into the middle of the closed rear passenger door. I somehow managed to pin the TV against my car and ended up saving it (although it was a $99 P.O.S. Broksonic TV). My car was not so fortunate.

As I peeled the TV away from my beloved Maxima, to my horror, I saw a dark black, 8 inch long, dent in my door. I wanted to die. So I went to my meeting really sick and really p!ssed off. When I got home, I buffed the hell out of the dent (sick as a friggin dog, mind you) and as it turns out, most of it was superficial. I ended up with what appears to be just a really bad door ding. I am getting it sucked out this weekend for $75, but I also have a $20 coupon. Plus I closed the deal that I was taking the TV to in the first place for a small amount but will more than cover the repair cost.

Anyhow, I can't wait until Saturday morning so I can get this damn thing fixed.

 

Your luck trips me out. You weren't even modding your car this time,

 

that sux, that would pi$$ me off too

edit: how the hell is p-i-s-s a badword???

 

you should just dropped the tv
lol

 

Dude, as much as you have put into them over time, did you ever consider that you and Max's are just a cursed combo?

 

 

Believe me, I would have. It's almost like I threw it into my rear door though. The damage was done by the time I could have done anything.

jjs- My Max isn't cursed. I am. The day we bought my wife's Xterra, she met me at my softball game with it. Cedric Bonner (QB for the AZ Rattlers- arena fb), gets up and smashes a home run which takes one bounce off the street, right into her rear quarter panel. We literally had the car for one hour. I even told her not to park "in the outfield", but she apparently didn't know what that meant.

 

hahahaha
you are so funny andy

 

hahahaha
you are so funny andy

 

if its a large dent with a dull crease, it wont be anything for Dent Doctor to pop out.. I've seen them actually work a quarter panel out that had been hit in a low speed fender bender (parking lot). will put you back $75ish

 

I'm glad you live in AZ and I live in WI.

 

Have you ever considered selling the 2 cars and maybe take Public Transportation?

 

Public transportation in Phoenix is the biggest joke in the universe. There are like a total of 4 buses covering 100 square miles.

 

Try the Dent Wizard. They pulled some dings/dents out of my door with good success. It was only about $150.

 

Never become a doctor.

 

i feel you...my car is cursed too...lets see...pushed in bumper, both driver side doors scratched(Deeply)...maybe doesnt seem like much...but considering its 5 months old i have really lost sleep over those two mishaps...but even tho im a perfectionist i hafta keep reminding myself that its a piece of metal that stays outside 24/7/365 and things are gunna happen...this advice to myself helped me cope for about 5 minutes

 

LoL. Andy, if you wrote a book about your life, I would actually read it! haha Sucks about the car though!

 

It's something about you and Maxima's.. It's a curse.. You should move on to another car. G35

 

Don't do that to a G35. Andy will destroy it after a month.

 

 

Look at it this way---$75 to remove the dent is cheaper than buying a new tv/vcr combo because you let it fall to the ground to save the car door. Feel better?

Didn't think so.

ARFF

 

Why don't you come back here in January and tell us Arizonans that

 

I feel your pain. Right when your car is just sitting pretty and perfect, something bad happens...

 

That DOES suck. But, look at it this way - you saved the TV, the door ding will only cost about $50 to fix, and you're probably feeling better by now...

 

unless something else has happened since then!!

 

Obviously it's a case of bad "car-ma"!

Hope you feel better and the Maxima is easily repaired. I've been sick all this week too but not as severe as what you described- I'm just getting through the "coughing up half of my right lung" phase...

[cough-cough]

 

Man that sux. Havin the flu in 114 degree wether has to suck more. .


If I dinged my car like that, I'd **** my pants and kill myself becuase I ove my max so much. Hope I never end up doin somethin like that.

 

the main difference between Andy and the rest of us is that he admits this stuff happens.. I would probably be too embarrased to tell you guys if I did that. But we all do some things that were poor judgement in hindsight

 

i really feel sorry for u andy!!
but at least u have an excuse(u were sick), in my case i was polishing my car with the buffer. Then i decided to lay it down on my hood, when i came to pick it back up i accidently hit the switch and baammmm it whips out of my hand and leave an autograph in my driver side fender size of a thumb(small enough that it can't be pulled with the dent king).

 

damn that sucks. I hope your old rims don't have the curse!!

 

man, why don't you take care of yourself, instead of the car.
it's 'just' a car, dents come out.

 

As long as Andy is out of the state. The guy is cursed!

 

sorry to hear about your car. KiLLeR2002se, that sig is a joke, right? Here's a tip... PHOTOSHOP --> RESIZE PICTURES!

 

tee hee....not to mention its like 117 degrees now--waiting for a bus would bite!!

 

I live in San Diego......That just silenced the whole ORG !
