so yesterday i went to work. i take public transportation to work so i parked by the train station and was on my way. 8 hours later, after being on my feet all day, i stroll towards the car thinking of how nice its going to be to go home, sit down, take off my shoes, and drink a beer :beer: . as i approached the car i noticed something on my trunk. figuring it was bird crap i began to curse those flying terrors. as i grew closer something seemed odd.
it appeared to me that someone decided to shoot my car with some paintballs. furious, i drove home to inspect that which was before me. with a little soapy water everything came off but i noticed this morning that you could still see the drip pattern...coming from the two smalls dents on my trunk from where the paintballs hit. next month will be the third month i have had the car and so far someone lightly scratched/dented my door by hitting it with theirs; hit my back end which broke my license plate cover into pieces, and now this...paintballs.
any suggestions on getting the dents out?

Try finding a paintless dent removal place. There should be a bunch around in the Chi town & surrounding suburbs.


WISH you could catch the jerks responsible for that....take their paintball guns & shoot em in the nuts!


People are SO inconsiderate of other peoples property!

Best of luck to you & I hope all goes well with no more issues. :beer:


Out of curiosity....does the lot that youpark in have security cameras? Perhaps if you can ask someone & if so.....maybe you can catch the ones responsible.

Man, it seems like everyone is out to get us and our Lancers! There are people that haven't had anything happen to them and their Lancers but you wait your day will come. These cars have some sort of Japanese curse.

Usually they'll try to push it in from the inside of the trunk, but they use heavy duty tools to make it flush and unnoticable.

one of my coworkers told me about this place called Carnica(it's in des plaines for all you chicago-land folks). i guess they specialize in parking lot dings etc. he said good things about them so since i am off today i might cruise over there.
