Default Roomate just opened Garage Door w/ my car parked perpendicular to it. Doh!

We always park like that when somebody is in our shared stall, but he forgot to look because he was "in a hurry".

Anyways, it turns out that I've got two very minor indentations about 6 inches in front of the fuel door. They look to maybe be an inch long each, but its hard to tell. It's not very bright in our garage, but I really have to look hard to locate the indentations, leading me to believe they aren't too bad. I'll know more tomorrow after getting in some natural bright light. A plus is that it doesn't appear that the paint was damanged at all.

The real crappy thing, however, is that they're located right on that minor curve in the body (the "curve" that runs from front to back), and not on flat metal.

Is this something that a dentless guy may be able to work on, or are all bets off when you're on any curved pieces? I'm thinking it's the latter, but was hoping to perhaps hear otherwise.

Thanks,

Derek

It's fix-able. Working a round can sometimes be easier than a flat. Just find a good bodyshop.

Trust me - he didn't get a "Don't worry about it..." from me...quite the contrary.
