Came home one day, left my truck on the street infront of the house because i just needed to run in and drop off a sleeping bag and duffle bag. I come out not 5 min later, start going down the road and i notice something...

two dents on my hood. Some little prick hit my truck with a basket ball, and it bounced on my hood twice leaving decent sized dents.

Its a 2009 Ranger, I had it for 3 weeks.




Now I drive around with no muffler and the truck is covered in mud. People didn't respect me, now i dont respect them. they enjoy a wake up call at AM thanks to me pulling in at 4000 rpm and they also enjoy that shit covered brown eyesore infront of their house.


pricks.

Sorry about those dents.

Great idea.My neighbors constantly play basketball and I fear they will do the same to my truck.

i work at a grocery store.. an carts iam the cart bitch.. ive seen some damage done to vehicles by carts.. its great when the people unload the grocery an cant walk 5 feet to return the cart to the carall. right next to us is lowes... well they have carts as well.. well i park about 5 rows back from our store an its not lowes parking.. i come out one night from work to leave with my black truck an i noticed a lens on the ground... a cart had built up enough speed to break my tail light an my dring in the bumper had broke the cart. so i went an complained an the manager said there was nothing they could do.. i was parked in there lot at my own will an damage done by carts is not there responsibility.. BULL! i was parked in the parking lot an was working i wasnt even shopping.. so i called there corporate office an the next day that same manager called an said to bring in a receipt. they were going to pay for it. so after that was all figured out a few months later THE OTHER SIDE got busted by another damn cart!

**I know this is kinda a old thread

But, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!
I try to keep my 01 looking as new as I can, but dings pop out of no where.

I got an estimate, for like 80 bucks each, paintless dent removal, at like 8 dings, some really small, that would be 640 bucks before tax! =[ It's the cheapest I've found though.

Lamesauce. I always feel so crushed when I get a new ding, && I always park far away.

I feel ya. Well I don't usually have a problem as I park in the dirt or upper side of the hills so carts can't roll. but I have had a few bad things happen. Like one time I parked in the middle of nowhere in the lot and as I was getting out some other truck drives all the way over and parks next to me opens his door and just hit my door leaving a dent and scuffed paint on my just bought not a month ago new nearly spotless truck. I was like hey asshole do you mind? he casually said oh sorry and walked off... needless to say I was so mad at him and his brand new chevy (still had the lot stickers) I didn't even go in... just a nice deep key mark down the bed and fender. (I know its wrong but for someone to be that much of a jerk I couldn't take it.)

All this kind of reminds me of two new Rangers being damaged. Bought my first: a brand new 1993 regular cab and it needed its first oil change. They had just opened a brand new Wal Mart where I lived, so I took it in for a oil change. The guy on the lube rack was short and had a paunch and I noticed that he had a big brass belt buckle on. I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to him doing the oil change, but I paid attention when they tried to charge me for 6 quarts of oil. I argue with the manager who tells me that it is a truck and trucks take 6 quarts of oil. I go out to get the owners manual , walk on the passenger side of the truck, and look at the top of my fender and notice that the paint is gouged all to hell on the top of my fender. Obviously, I'm just po'd to beat the band and I go in and demand to see the manager again. We go outside and I show him the top of the fender on my 6 week old truck that had the paint basically ground all to hell. He tells me "looks like a paint defect to me." I said "yeha, there's a defect all right and you got him working your lube rack." I explained to him what I witnessed. He said that they use fender covers and they have a special belt that they wear while doing oil changes. I already know he did neither and I said to the manager "you want to bet?" So, we go back in and defect on the lube rack was doing another vehicle, no fender cover, no special belt, and particles of Ford Toreador Red embedded in his buckle (of course, it just so happened that my ranger was Toreador Red.) So then, after showing them the owners manual that stated that the 2.3 L engine w/filter held five quarts, and having them drain 1 quart of oil off and adjusting the bill. I took the truck to my father-in-law (who owns his own auto body business) and had him prepare an estimate. Took it back to Wal-mart an hour and a half later and they paid me $193 cash (the estimate.)
Second story was the second day I owned a new 1995 Supercab. I just took a job as a High School Principal in a rural district and parked my truck by the building. While I was inside the golf team arrived. One of the members decided that he was going to practice his putting, right in the passenger side door of my truck (nice golf ball ding.) He is caught by the school bus coordinator who informs him that he just put his golf ball into the side of the brand new Principals brand new pickup truck. He brought the kid into my office in tears. Didn't have the heart to be too hard on him, I let it go.

Dang. Bad stories. I think nicer trucks, are magnets to bad things.

one night my senior year in highschool, after a football game, i went up to the store to get a couple things, and i tell you what, i was beat....i was driving my dad's brand new '08 F250, so i parked what i thought was out of the way.....some asshole in a big ole lifted up chevy backs into my dad's pickup, and takes off. He busted up the grill pretty good....worst part was, i seen it all through the window in the store.....the manager seen it too, and he called the cops, so i had to wait for them to show up. about 45 minutes later a cop car come's rollin into the parking lot, ask's a couple questions, ask's for insurance, and says he'll get back to me....of course, he didnt. it was a terrible night, and i still had to tell my dad what happened to his pickup.....he was upset to say the least

Had a guy push a cart right into my car at walmart. While I was sitting in it with my ex girlfriend. I got out and proceeded to check for dents/etc. It was a pretty big guy and I'm well.. a little guy, so I waited till he walked away. If there was anything wrong with my car I would have called the cops, but I have those handy little bump strips running down the sides. I left a little note on his wiper saying something like this.

"Hello, thanks for pushing a cart into my car while I was sitting in it. You really are lucky that I'm such a nice guy, because I could have called the cops and had you pay for the damages. But instead, I decided to leave you this little note instead. Be careful next time. Oh, and have fun driving home, I really couldn't decide what I should do to your truck so I got creative. Bye buddy."

Thankfully, my Ranger's a '94. It has it's fair share od scrates, but the ONLY dent I got was when a tree branch fell and hit my truck in the major Ice Storm we had in NH EXACTLY one year ago today. It's dented right on the "style line" halfway between the RR tire and the front of the bed. Better that than broken glass.

Nothing worse then some douche bag a**hole that dents your truck and doesn't have the decency to leave their info.

My wife gouged my tail gate in Oct. with a metal trash can while setting up for the yearly Walk Now for Autism event here in St.Louis. She refused to pay for the damage. I want a divorce.
