Double OUCH

Was not one of my finest hours, like a bonehead, I will be the first one to admit it, my car rolled in the parking lot into a chain link fence. To make a stupid story shorter this is going to cost me One thousand dollars to fix. The chain link scratched the paint in the left front light, and cracked the plastic cover of the front bumper. I was ready to leave when I went back into the office for my cell phone when I walked out and saw the car resting against the fence my heart almost stopped. As stupid as this was I was very lucky that the car did not roll out of the gate into the street and causing an accident with a gruesome outcome.
So in the end I was lucky eventhough it was a totally bonehead move.

Yep - it happens.

We had our first Boxster roll into our garage door. Thankfully no damage but it could have been bad.

I had the exact thing happen to my Boxster, and with black paint (non metallic), I used the scratchX stuff, went VERY gently on it and repeated a few times. The bumper was all scartched up about 10" by 10", i had great results with the scratch X. My scratches are completely gone and it looks better than new.
