Default Nooooooo!

I can't believe it.......got my first major dent in the car, decided to take the GS out for a spin, haven't drove it for a week,while out driving I heard this loud thump against the passenger door, stopped the car to check it out, and theres a large dent on the bottom of the door, looks like a rock thrown up by another car had hit it, chipped the paint also, and I just made my first payment today I should've taken my IS, or my truck, I know things like this can't be advoided, but at least it would have been on my older cars

I feel your pain. If it makes you feel any better, the first ding/chip/dent is always the hardest. Like you said, it's inevitable.

Hopefully the dent can be popped out and you can fill the chip. At least it's at the bottom of the door, my first ding was near the drivers side door handle

I hate those kinds of side dents/scrapes when you're driving; there's pretty much no way to avoid them Good luck getting it fixed.
