That sucks, sorry glen!!! I find it hard to believe that there is someone senseless enough to just go and kick a dent that severe into some strangers' car. Even though it didn't leave any paint residue, that could also easily be some moron that backed into you or something. When you parked it, were you near any driveways or such?

Yeah probably some social derelict you know the kind of person that should be ground up for food and fed to all the smart people.

I feel your pain.... I work in a bowling alley part time and I will never park my mustang there. ive had my honda civic dented up by a bowler who bowled bad in a tournament and decided to take it out on my honda by launching a bowling ball into the pass side door. I also have a fairly new 05 dakota 4x4 that someone backed into the bumper at the bowling alley and never said anything he was probably drunk . $485 dollars for a rear bumper without installation. yikes. the truck was my first ever new vehicle and it only has 5k miles on it so im forking out the cash on it.

My 5.0 got his about a month ago, I parked it in a library lot across the street from my buddies house so we could go to goodguys. When I got back, there was a beautiful 10" dimple right infront of the rear wheel well lip. People don't take responsibility for anything these days, its sickening.

Only a jealous sh%$head would do something like that to some one elses ride. I don't care how mad you get. You don't take it out on another man's ride.
Hope you brother is OK.

It would be almost impossible for someone to back into it. There are no driveways anywhere near across from where it was parked. It clearly looks like the heel of a shoe. There is no way I am going to pay someone $1,100 to repair it, so I guess I will just do it myself. It may take all winter, but I will do it right.
It doesn't really surprise me that it was done though. My brother lives in a fairly new neighborhood, but the neighborhood is made up of what I consider folks who don't raise their children right. The Rap/hiphop music wafting from their homes and cars may give you a hint. I was driving my nephew's 02 GT back from the hospital a few days ago, and had to pass by a middle school on the way home. School had just let out, and there were kids all in the street about 4 blocks from the school, so I had to go really slow to not hit one of them. I honked my horn to warn them I was approaching, and they just turned and looked at me and kept up their slow swaggering pace in the middle of the road with their saggy pants showing their underwear.
My brother made it through the by-pass heart surgery just fine. He will be in the hospital for another week or so, then will have a long road of recovery facing him. Thanks for your thoughts.

Kids now a days. Ir's the parents fault for not kicking the crap out of them! And for not teaching them to respect others and of course other peoples preperty! I tell you. I got my butt kicked more than once growing up, but I got the point and it made me a better man for it!!!!!
Glad your brother is doing well.
And I guess you are going to take your time on that fender? All winter seams like a lot of time.

I am retired, so have projects to keep me busy so I don't get bored.  First, I plan to get the metal fairly straight, but I have to buy some special tools to do that I think. I don't have the body working/ straightening metal tools. Maybe some of you guys who do this sort of thing can guide me. Then all the sanding and prep work. Then the primer and color and clear coat. Hey, that takes time. All winter may be only a few months here in central Texas.

Soaring, that sucks man, I would be even more pissed, would probably be in a search and destroy mission, bump into that punk, and blast his ass with my Glock.
Ok, probably not, but I'd be thinking about it.
I'm glad your brother came out of it ok, at least there are some good news in your story.

yeah, people do get jealous of our cars. A few years ago some biker kicked in my dad's 67 convertible door. At that time the car was cherry. People are a$$holes. whatever did happen to your car, it was probably on purpose. Im sorry to hear this Glen.

Actually that can be a fault too, to kick their asses.
Time and time again, I see these little kids getting slapped, pulled by the hair, and get screamed at for no reason, all this in public by their worthless ghetto mom or dad (I'm not pointing out any particular race here, to me, a ghetto person is someone of any race, a person with no love, ettiquette, education), these people display NO compassion, NO love, No respect, for their own children, let alone a stranger. The funny thing though, is when one of their kids dies, then they go all ballistic, and start crying their asses off like there was no tomorrow, that's when it's too bloody late.

i dont think thats from a person that looks kinked rather hard probably swiped by a truck with a chrome bumper or soething and that probably why theres not paint tranfer and the black mark might be from the bumper impact strip
Stephen, I tried to push it back out with the heel of my hand, so that is why it looks this way with the crinkle. Originally (this morning) it was just a pushed in damage. I guess I screwed up by not just leaving it as it was and use one of those sucking devices to pop it out, but I was not in my right mind. I also have a pistola....a Sig Sauer 357, but I don't know that I would go to that extreme. If, however, I had been awake and had seen the little punk who did it, I would have physically met the challenge and would have taken him/her by the ear to the parents. Not sure if I would have received satisfaction, but that is what I would have done.....I think. If not, then the cops would have been called and probably no satisfaction from them either since there were probably no other witnessness who would turn in the rascal because of the black culture thing. I am just glad to be back in the hill country, and out of Houston. Ol' Yeller will be all mended in a few months.
