Angry So I hit my wife's car with my Mustang today!

It was late last night when I was coming home when I pulled into the garage. I did not notice my wife's van was parked at angle. I put a black stripe down the side of my Mustang and a dent in the rear quarter. I not a happy camper!

I was at least able to buff out the stripe but the dent is someting I need looked at. It could have been worse.

That's not too bad. Paintless Dent Repair will likely make it like new again. Good luck.

I have an appointment Monday to have it looked at by Fix-A-Dent. I am just glad I did not ruin the paint. I have had bad luck in the past with body shops not able to match metalic paint on pervious cars I have owned.

Good luck with the repair! I had my '07 GT just 3 weeks when I was trying to pull out of a garage parking spot and left this nice war wound on it.

I do not get to upset with door dings after the first one but when I hit something like my own car in the garage it makes me mad at myself.

It's not too bad IMO, should be a simple buff and maybe some slight PDR work.

I had a buddy once drove his truck into his wife's car, which pushed into his '66 Mustang, which then went through his garage and out the other side. So I have never done that!

Good advise. I became much more forgiving then when I first got my car. I was so ****.

Have I mentioned the 2dollar cup of coffee at MacDonalds cost me 300 in repairs? The drive-through was poorly re-modeled into two lanes and one of them has road dividers/cones stupidly bolted on too close to the curves. Yeah, I was mad.

There's an ATM that had a high, sharp curb on the p/s side for no good reason and I curbed the heck out of my front p/s wheel just trying to avoid clipping my mirror on the post near the ATM on the d/s. I was not happy and I notice they've since removed the curb so I guess I wasn't the only one.

I was going to tell about the same story...


Years ago, late at night, a girl that I know Sharon, swung her Mustang into her driveway to park next to her mom's car like she always does but, her dad was over and had parked in her spot.... She hit her dad's car which went through the garage door, into the boat that was in the garage, the boat hit the washing machine and the washing machine went through the garage wall into the dining room.... True story! And, I have more real life stories like this about Sharon!! lol

I have a question if I get the dent pulled out can a detail place like a car wash buff the scratches out or is the more a job for a body shop?
