Default First scratch

I just got my first scratch on my backbumper due to my fence door being moved by the wind Damn fence[:@]. I'm pissed as hell. It be fine if it were aroad scar, but not a parked scar. Ohwell. Anybody else have scratches?

Only 3 days into the ownership of my new Mustang, I was on the freeway and the car in front of me threw up a small rock. Left two good knicks in the very front of my hood, and bounced up and put a small chip in my windshield. Oh yes I was very pissed. Very pissed.

Pulling into the garage, I hit the a trailer packed full of junk. Yep, left a good scratch right beside the light. Hoping to get it fixed. Didn't even have a tag on yet. Needless to say I kicked the trailer back.

within the first week I owned mine, I put a very small dent (size of a pencil eraser)in the door which I pulled out myself, I can't even find it any more.

what was really bothering me during the first year owning this car was how many stones were hitting the windshield all the time. I replaced the windshield after a big rock hit the center of the windshield, was just frustrated with all the chips all over it. The rest of the car wasn't getting beat up by rocks just the glass!
