The first dent is the deepest

I dented and scratched my new car that I just blogged about getting. It doesn't even have permanent plates yet and here I went and scraped it against the wall of my narrow garage entrance way. I was afraid that it would happen since the parking garage is so tight and crowded. I guess I got cocky since so far so good and then wham, literally.

It felt like I got hit, since the blood rushed from my face to my feet when I heard the terrible scraping sound. It's one of those bang your hand against your forehead moments, or in this case my steering wheel. I just leased the car and now I have to pay to get it fixed. At first white paint from the wall was streaked across the black paint, but I paid a car wash shop to buff out the paint and scratches. It helped remove the white paint and dim the scratches, but it wasn't a miracle worker. Here's my rear tire area with it's new dent and scratches :( It's kind of hard to see in this photo though since the black color reflects.

So that was my sucky day, but yes I know it could of been worse. I could have been in a real accident or not even have a car to hit. Plus my boyfriend cheered me up with pity flowers and a mini cake that had a sad face painted on it for my sad day.

"The blood rushed from my face to me feet when I heard the terrible scraping sound"

I actually cringed when I read that line.  Ouch.  All you can do is learn to be careful, and be thankful that it was a simple scratch and not an accident involving another vehicle. 

And you are not hurt. 

I hope you have a better Wednesday.

Everyone seems to be banging up their cars lately... Nanette over at "Say It, Don't Spray It!" recently scraped up her brand new car in their parking garage also.

Glad you are ok and the accident wasn't any worse.

 I bought a car one time and lady totalled it 6 days later.

**DOH**!!!  

 1st - glad that it was a minor accident.

 2nd - very, very sorry that it involved your new car :(.

 3rd - can empathize b/c  I completely smashed the side of a company car in a TIGHT parking garage at the condo of an ex-bf .

4th -  guess that is one way for the parking gods to keep people humble, huh?

 

Take care and I hope that the week only goes upwards from this point!
