turns out the other driver is usually antsy to get out from behind a slower moving 18 wheeler and makes a bold move - right into your rear driver side fender.... just enough to put a ripple in it... looking to see if a car is in the lane is what you do AFTER you move into a pre-occupied spot.... his Prius had simple paint scuff on the passenger door - no ding/nada.... and today was THE day I was REALLY taking it to the dealer to check out a DSG GTi.... SWEET!

You should have shorted out his batteries and burned his car to the ground.

tough to tell with the pic and the glare but the paint is not bad at all - more annoying

Default it's right on the lip - you don't think it can be pulled out? it was only a tap and I almost felt
no impact.... just a wobble. more concerned with other non-noticeable damage as well - but that'll get checked out tomorrow locally.

Default I was telling Hans to paint the porsche matte black - maybe it's time I do that to the TT
but the blue soft top won't fly with that color combo...
