First Dent in the New Truck

Post by Richard Mondavi on Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:09 pm

I can’t frigging believe it! My truck is just two months old and someone managed to put a dent in the tailgate while the truck was sitting in my driveway. I have no proof, and I didn’t see it happen, but I think it was the teenagers across the street who were trying to walk on homemade wooden stilts yesterday. I think one of the kids must have lost his balance and tried to catch himself on the tailgate of my truck. I do know the dent wasn’t there the day before. This really ticks me off big time.
I have the truck in the shop and they are removing the dent using the paintless dent removal process. Man that dent has me bummed out big time.

I know how you feel - maybe not because it was not your fault. I let my truck roll back and it hit the hitch of my 5th wheel. Man I was bummed about my stupidity as the truck was just new. I got it repaired using the paintless repair guys and they did a great job however the paint was scratched where it contacted the hitch. I am over it now and it doesn't bother me anymore. Time heals things.

Well, I got the truck back from the body shop and they did an awesome job. The tailgate looks brand new. I think the next time I see those young teenagers playing in the street again I may have to sit on my porch and clean my shotgun.

I figured they could suck that right out. As dents go, that one wasn't bad at all.

On the bright side, your new truck is now disasterized, so you should be safe from here on out!
