Jeez Alkemist, I bet you're ready to wrap your car from bumper to bumper in bubble wrap by now! I hope your luck turns around real soon!

Car cover is a MUST. Mine's garaged but covered when it's not being worked on

Sorry to hear about yours..... if you see it, it's going to eat away at you so I would just get it repaired.
wow, that really blows. Funny to think, one of the first things on my mind when I just woke up was that dent in my car I better look around and see if I can find someone.

The original owner of my car left quite a few dings and key marks that are definitely noticeable on my car. They annoy me but id rather buy a few mods then worry about dents later since i know i will eventually get another if i fix all the current ones.

Default Fuel Door "Ding" Alert

I had a similar experience within a week after I purchased my 07 (new) about 3 years ago. I was filling up gas on a gorgeous summer day. After I put away the nozzle, I stepped back and bent the fuel door backwards. I didn't notice anything until a few days later, when I saw a ding (crease) where the fuel door must have contacted the body. I was not happy with Ford's poor design of the fuel door. I called the dealer, back then and they recommended a paintless ding repair guy. I didn't have it fixed, however, as I was concerned it wouldn't work, or that it would make it worse. Also, I didn't want to spend too much time researching who would be the best in Cincinnati for such a job. I never repaired the ding, but would love too, if possible. It's not really noticeable, to anyone else, but it has driven me nuts ever since. Only a fellow Mustang owner could really appreciate my pain. Lesson learned, always be careful around your fuel door when it is opened.
