The silver accent pieces .....one scratch. Other than that the worst thing to happen to the car was a bird **** on it from trunk lid to hood, and both the rear and windshield were hit. That must have been one big a$$ bird who at some bad chinese.

closed the garage door and it scraped the front left side thought it was backed out enough .word of advice dont operate the garage door opener when you have had too much to drink or too drunk to pull the car in

Driving out of my underground parking. Made a sharp turn. I thought I would make it - was inching along. Heard a crunching sound........wheel scraped the curb. Very light 4-inch scrape on the edge of the wheel. Applied some aluminum paint with a q-tip. Hardly shows now.

wind blew over a swing set and it bounced off my rear bumper. There is really no visible damage, but the bumper flexed, and underneath (over the licence plate) is some cracking. As I said, you can't see the damage unless you go under to see it, but it's really annoying to know it's damaged.

chipped the paint on the passenger side side skirt 3 days after I got the car, trying to put my crutches in the back seat. Felt horrible- like a bad parent or something. Now I've got several more dings, but none that were my fault, thank god.

I have a paint chip on the edge of the circle around the gas tank door. I don't recall doing it, but looks like I must have pulled out the gas nozzle and hit the quarter panel hard enough to chip the paint. No biggie, but I notice it....

Two options:
1) use your photo editing software to reduce the resolution

or

2) use your photo editing software to increase the compression level of the JPG image.

Specifically how you do either of these things will vary with the software you have.
