and I parked away from all the other cars.

I still managed to get hit by someone reversing or turning around. I noticed it this morning in the light.

I am really not impressed at all :P

Will cut and polish tommorrow and organise someone to pop the dent out, but i have a feeling it will never look the same again. I should probably get some touch up paint for the scratch also.

I dont reall have any idea who it was at this stage and probably will never know.

someone's reversed and turned into it.....very slowly, on a very accute angle. Looks like anyones car that has been parked out the front of my place! (drug dealers across the road who can't 'reverse turn' when they're high). Bummer mate!!

Bad news.

I had a dent repair guy come around and take a look and he said he couldnt get it looking anything like new. He said the repair would look dodgy so he didnt think he should bother.

I will cut and polish it today. Now everytime I get in my car I will see the dodgy panel :)

What are my options? Panel beater? full respray on door?

anyone know aprox costs? So broke at the moment :)

pro beater should be able to repair it for under $1000.. unfortunately any scrape, no matter how minor can be costly to repair.

You may be surprised how well the cut and polish takes it out.. and maybe you will be able to leave it like that until you get some cash to repair it properly.. but of course "you" will always know its there, and where to look at.. that always sucks.

Mines got a few small minor dents and long scratches.. that from 5-10m away you can barely see at all and the car looks "straight as".. but in bright sunlight and close up they're obvious enough.

Do you think it was a white car that did it?

Ask everyone at the party who was there if they can remember who rocked up just after you who drives a white car that has a new scrape on it.

If you make a big deal about it and say if the owner doesnt own up you'll do a lot worse to them, news and rumours will spread fast and eventually you'll find out which scum did it..

Then you can kill them.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
