Scratches and dents oh my!

So to start. Day I bought the car I was rear ended off the lot 2 blocks away. Just a couple scratches from the license plate. Insurance money went to the principle of the car.

Now every place I go I swear I aquire another dent or a scratch from someone else not giving a rats *** about my car. I was sitting at Quzinos with a girl and watched a 80s camary pull up and this fat fcukin' kid in the back KICK open the rear door and it hit my car. If anyone has ever felt like drop kicking the "Star wars kid", I had the chance. Screamed and yelled at his parents about their sons total disrespect for other peoples stuff. All I got was a "Son, its just a car calm down". Omg! Thats why they drive a pile. Look like they havent seen a shower in weeks and a kid whose steps away from having a heart attack at 5-8yrs old.

Only thing positive than getting the whole strip mall area looking outside at me flipping out was no dent. A rubber grommet along the door saved me another ding.

So I also find another scratch that happened some how within a 12 hour period on my hood. Noticed it when I was filling up heading home. Looks like someone palmed my hood with 3-4 rings on. Wasnt there when I was washing my car doing a deep inspection of the dealerships attempt to wash my car with a SOS pad. Keep their name private.

Raaawwr! Has anyone had small dings and taken their car to a dent specialist and had good results? I know every little business is different. But how little and how extreme of dents have people had fixed. I cry inside every time I look down the side of my car.

take it to a PDR shop for the door dings, will look as good as new.

for the scratches, take it to a detailer to get them buffed out.

If I saw a kid kick a door open at my car, I would call the police and get an accident report on the spot.

There is no excuse for that sort of stupidity, or rudeness.

WOw, Reading this thread Friday gave me BAD LUCK, While staying ova my girls, Just this morning I wake up and as Im walking to my car, There it is, A scrape from the door handle to the back bumper. GOt out a wet towel and wiped out the most as I could, but still, paint had comed off ... Even after I double parked, still, someone had to be an idiot... I got my ranch from the car and did some revange to the apperant attacker... I just only wished I seen the person doing it....
