Accident magnet?

[Gussie2000]

Well,two weeks ago while on duty the building management office where my company is located hired few guys with a plow truck.the guys requested to had all the parking area cleared because of the amount of snow (6 inches) so all cars were removed from the area,but my VX & one of my co-worker's 2007 expedition remained while they was plowing & guess what guys .........

Scratches were found on my toy & my co-worker's SUV. WHAT THE F@#%*)

happened here ?

Since we didn't had no proof of who did it i & my friend decide to had revenge agains those bastards,we went to an 99 cents store & bought a bag of BIG marbles,find out the guy's address & BAM shattered their two truck windshields.

Those jerks had anknowledgedment of who those remaining SUV was belongs to,because our company issued windshield ID tags to all their employees to being displayed over the dash board for ID identification because many neightboors uses the parking over nigh to park their cars with out permission,since my company works 24/7 the building management decide to rely on us to enforce the non-overnight parking without permission so with the tags displayed the tow truck knows which cars aren't belong to any of the offices that does business in the building.

Now i've looking around to find out a good body shop to have those ugly scratches away,they were done with a key,many of them,right under the badge at the driver's side & two more at the passenger door.

But i've thinking about a do-you self finish work,however i need some advice about products that can be use in order to have those scratches out of my sight every time i approach my toy
Is any product out there can be use,i'll highly appretiate all replays guys,Thanks !

um.. i wouldnt post anything about breaking out peoples windshields... if i were in their situation regardless of whether or not they scratched your car, i would find your car, drain the oil into a pan and leave it for you to blow up the engine

you are mad that your vehicle was vandalized after you left it in a lot that was supposed to be emptied.. so you go and vandalize their vehicle?

[Gussie2000]

Oh no,emptied their engines wasn't a good move,but i & my co-worker was working,isn't that we left our truck there because of any reason,we didn't know that plow truck would be plowing snow,there's no reason for those guys to even touch another one's property,i'm so sorry the building have no surveillance system,both we knew they did it.

Interesting you dug up this old thread to post in. Maybe need to add another category to the poll: "My VX got keyed after I p*ssed somebody off"--at least two in two days now.

Not really an "accident" tho--pretty sure they did it on purpose

Your seeing alot about accidents here, because it's condensed.

And some of us get to vote twice.

One Dragon Green totalled.

One Ebony banged up pretty bad on the front drivers side quarter.

No accidents, but man those rocks love to beat the hell out of my windshield and hood! Must have like 20 rock chips on the hood and my second windshield has three different cracks going across but they all missed my line of sight, any passenger must hate it though.

Had a dent taken out of drivers side, top, front fender... plus some dents in the hood. It looked like someone had possibly jumped up on top of the hood... weird. The service guy at the dealer body shop said the dent in the fender could have been caused from me opening the hood too far up, pushing on the top of the fender, thereby denting it in. I told him his shutting the hell up could be caused by me, possibly ramming my fist down his 'troat, thereby closing his pie-hole.

Kidding... didn't say it, but a lot of those service guys are just morons.

Really, I'm a casual, easy-going guy! I promise!

I think we all need a GROUP HUG.
I propose we have simultaneous meets (on the same day) Next spring.
One for each Geographic Region.
It will take alot to do this, but it is possible. Hopefully everyone and their VX can make it.
We can call it "VX DAY":biggroup:

Wha du y'all think?

[Anita]

Im all for it!

;Dr;

Whenever I say "I've never..." normally that exact thing ends up happening to me a few days later, so I think I better pass in this survey while knocking as hard as I can on wood...

Yeah, the Freakin' Accident Bug hit me. I am so pissed right now! I havne't been online in like forever and I am here to say that it happened over the weekend. I was backing out of a tight parking place and reversing to let someone in, I had three cars around me and was carefully trying to watch all three (can be a pain in the *** with the horrible rear view) and I freakin hit an illegally parked car. The good thing is it was illegally parked so I am not responsible for anything, the bad news is my bumper has a huge dent in it.

Do you know if I can pop it out? I bet it is going to cost an arm and a leg to replace. Other funny thing is, I was going to get the cladding sprayed with a liner next month along with a new Black paint job... now I gotta wait til I figure this ding out!!! I AM SO SAD!!!!

Honestly, I am usually so careful and I was not paying close enough attention, I know how "aware" of your surroundings you need to be in while driving the VX

I am posting pictures and the good news is, I still went wheeling after and kicked the trash out of my Jeep Wrangler. THe VX Rocks!!!!

Depending on the severity of the dent, it may be possible to use a heat gun or a very hot hair dryer and "massage" it out into place. Simply remove the cladding and heat up the inside area of the dent especially the outer perimeter of the crease. Do not focus the heat in one area alone as it may melt or damage that area. Rather "wave" it around the area and simultaneously start pushing the dent out. Don not force it out but rather "massage" it out instead. If the results are successful, you may still end up with visible "stretch creases from the outside. But since you may be covering with line-x or paint, then it doesn't really matter. If the results are not to your satisfaction or the damage is too great to apply, then replacing the entire cladding may be your only option. Keep us updated of whichever way you go with and good luck.
