|  new car, new scratch
so ive had my 04 ion qc for about three weeks now and it already has a HUGE scratch in it. its on the hood and it looks like it was done with a rock cuz there are a few scratches side by side. man, this sucks. why do people mess with other peoples cars? ill never understand. i guess some prick saw a nice new car and just felt that he should damage it...anyway, it happened at work, so the good thing is that they are gonna pay for the cost of the repair. ive gotta go get estimates tomorrow...

sucks. youll be lookin at like, 3-500% for it. they will have to paint your hood, and blend it on your front quarter panels.
and if its the saturn cobalt blue itll be a bit more-- that color is EXPENSIVE | |

Join the club bro. It was about 3 weeks after I got my car when I backed my bumper into the side of a basketball hoop pole, right where the bolts in it were, making 3 long scratches down the side of my bumper. I could not explain in words how pissed I was. I still don't have it fixed....  | |

2 weeks after my dad bought his car he swiped the side of our garage door frame (a day after is had been painted none the less). No paint damage but there is about a 1 ft. Sq. area of his fender pushed in on an otherwise immaculate car. | |

ummmm.....some lady side swiped my car with her jeep and it left marks and scratches all over the front drivers side. I used some Scratch out and I then buffed it. Most of it came out with the exception of a few. | |
