Default 286 Miles on my 2016 350F and I get hit in a parking lot

We were waiting in line to get out of the parking lot and she backed right into my car.

Dented the rear quarter panel.

Dam. Sorry brother. I think we need pics just to quantify your grief appropriately.

If I only can I always try to avoid parking lots, specially those multi-level congested ones, I rather park on the street, further away. Too much bad staff happened to my car and to me in such places - including getting mugged.

It's actually not that bad. the quarter panel behind the passenger door has a dent the size of an lemon or so.

Still, it's a week and a half old. My daughter asked why I parked so far away, then I get hit leaving the parking lot... haha.

paint looks good. There is a scratch on the 3m clear stuff in front of the tire toward the rear door. That's it.

I was frustrated when the towel dry car wash employees put a few scratches in my clear coat at 600 miles. This has to be so annoying.

That first blemish is always the absolute worst. They'll knock the dent out fairly easy. Good luck!

Thanks. I don't want to even think about the paint right now. It looks bad. I'm bringing it in to be polished and waxed. Swirls and scratches everywhere from the initial wash when I bought it.

That sucks.
At least you don't have $19k in damag . This happened last week when a car hit me. Car has less than 6.2k miles.

Don't feel too bad it has happen to a few of us.

I bought one of my dream cars out of state then drove it 700 miles back home only to get it dented the very next day in the parking lot of the DMV while registering it.

Wow! That is probably approaching or even exceeding like 1/2 value of the car. Nasty stuff. Did you lynch whoever did it to you?
