Impatience causes dents
Aaggghhhh!!
Well, I could not wait to get the blue Rex out of the garage this spring and took it out oon some icy conditions...got stuck (just in a neighborhood).
So - me being the hardass that I am, I decided to get it out myself and pushed with my legs and back and subsequently heard the sounds of metal popping against my back!
Damn thing is like a tin can...damn my pride. So now, it is looking like real body work from a simple dent.
Word to the wiser than me...
Use the tow eye ring - it's there for a reason.
Sorry...just had to vent my stupidity somewhere!

I know how you feel. When I installed my wheel-centers, I put a dent on both the right and left fender getting leverage to push the tire-iron. Took $200 at the Dent Wizard to get it fixed.
If the damage isn't too bad you should try one of the paintless dent removal places.
