...I have my first boo-boo! I backed into a parking space and got too close to the fence. Luckily, it's only paint damage and no sheet metal dented.

Jim Watson says from now on, he's going to wear this t-shirt when he rides with me!

Ouch.

I backed into a post during a gas stop in Arkansas with the F150 coming home from BritishV8 2012.

Did a number on the rear bumper. Gonna take a BFH to fix it.

That's a bummer Dan. At least it's not too bad.

Sympathies Dan. I put two deep gouges in my right rear fender getting it out of the paint booth before it ever saw the street.

Never Mind! those are just Battle Scars :) now we don't have to worry about road chips and other minor damage from using our cars.

I had a tow bar fall over and dent the passenger's door in the first few days. My paint was never as good as most everyone elses but it still hurts. It was the first time I'd done a complete paint job myself and despite the flaws I felt pretty good about it. Worlds better than hot rod primer. But you need a battle scar or two just so you can drive it.
