    That sucks man.....

    My last incident like this wasnt quite as big but just as frustrating....last fall....was using a can of gumout on the carb.....transferred the can from hand to another and managed to bang the front fender with it....chipped the paint...otherwise perfect paint on that fender.

    Dammit.

    Hang in there man....bright side....it gives you an excuse to redo the quarter now!

    Use the hammer on his motor to get it warmed up before working on your car.. :misbehaving:

    Opened the door on the Charger to show my buddy the interior, went a little too wide and, smack-o, right into a spare fender I have for it. Chipped the damn door edge............
    There's one, let the count begin  :roflsmiley:

    and then there's the ubiquitous dropping of a simple tool onto your immaculate _____________ (insert which part of your car here) and scratching or denting it.  :22yikes: :swear:

    Sorry to hear about that.  Another reason to hate Chevy.

    This is my problem too, anytime I mess something up, it's the fact that I know about it, that eats me up.  Even little things that no one else will notice.

    my worst was I pulled the \6 out of my 64 cuda.  If I never did that and just did all the stupid maintenance (hey I was 22 and dumb) I'd still have that car.  Just had to fight the rust monster.  I wish I never did that.
