Mystery Dent? Noooooo!
Posted on 21st June 2007 by antuan goodwin
This afternoon, while walking back to my car, I noticed a distinct little dent on the hood of my car. This wasn’t road damage, because it’s up near the top center of the hood. (I’d have noticed if something had hit the car hard enough to dent it while I was driving.)
So my only conclusion is that something fell onto my hood. Or was tossed!
Either way, I’m pissed. I’ll never know where the Mystery Dent came from and it doesn’t matter. The fact is that it’s there and there’s nothing I can do about it, but fix it. It seems like the more I pamper this car, the more little stupid things happen:
- I make a rule about not eating in the car, and suddenly no drive-thru attendant in Augusta can properly secure the lid onto a soft drink.
- I try not to park where the car can be dented or chipped, random objects fall onto my hood!
- Oh and what I thought was sap on my hood and trunk has actually turned out to be abrasions to the paint.
I never had this much trouble with the Escort or the Mirage… then again, both of those cars met an early demise. So maybe I should be grateful my issues with this car are small and aesthetic.
