Default Horrible Luck for my LS

So the other day I had a very small door dent on my LS taken care of by a local guy who I was referred to that does the paintless dent removal. It was no doubt some jamoke who opened their door into mine even though I park a million miles from anyone wherever I go. He did an incredible job!

Forward to today two days later and I am headed to a client meeting and bam something falls off a truck ( I think a piece of metal like a piece of re-bar) in the lane to my right who was about a 1/2 car ahead of me and leaves me this on the rear near the trunk opening.

Unfriggin real how whatever it was managed to hit in that spot! It may have bounced up or something physics will have to explain! Argggghhh!
I know it was not there last night as I washed the car and would have seen it.

Probably will wait until spring to deal with it as snow/ice/crapola is soon coming my way!

To the Op, I feel your pain. Just last week I was behind a dump truck on a local interstate when out of the bed comes rocks spilling over my car. I now need a bumper and hood respray.

I do have some touch up paint but the guy who did the last chip said I was better off not using the touch up. Not sure what harm it could do especially if they are going to repaint the entire area.

Unfortunately, this stuff happens to the best of us. After washing my car, a couple days later I was merging onto the highway and as I merged behind a semi my windshield started to get covered in little red droplets. The truck must have just hit an animal or drove over road kill. Took the RX over to an automatic car wash to deal with that mess...
