Default Beware Of Shopping Carts

Well it took eight months, but got my first nick yesterday. We had some strong winds here and the wind pushed a shopping cart into my car.

I immediately went into shock. Just total disbelief that something like that could happen. Feeling a little better about it today; especially after giving it a good wash job.

The damage is a quarter-sized dent just above the right rear tire. I took it to a place that specializes in dent repair, but he did not want to do it because the damage is on a seam. The body shop the dealer recommended cannot take it in until 11/20, so stuck with the dent for a couple of weeks.

Guess it was bound to happen eventually!

Just remember, Porsche are man-made, and man can fix them as well.

That sucks. I still park away from most cars where possible. It seems all parking lots are sloped in Dallas... always sloped toward the area where I park!

On my 3rd week of ownership, my dog knocked my bike over onto my car. Dentless guy and a little touch up paint and the scar is completely gone.
