Just got back from my vaca and couldn't wait to see my new G that I bought 3 weeks ago. The motherfucken front pass fender was dented in! My little brother moved my car out so he can work on his teggy in the garage. He backed my car back in after he was done and "didn't realize how strong it was and was paying more attention to my bike that he didn't want to hit", he side swiped the entrance. I didnt even get my new plates yet. Only drove it around for a week before I went on vacation. He freaked out and went to buy me a new fender and is paying for everything. Me being the nicer older brother (it was hard not to choke him and treat him like a Taliban prisoner), went out and got an estimate. Autobody guy says it'll be more cost effective and easier for him to just pull the dent, fill and repaint that section. Which is what I prefer since it's a pain in the butt to color match. Total estimate came out to 300. So in the end, he's lucky he's only paying 300 for the damages instead of 600. Lesson learned. Park my bike in front of the car when I leave it in the garage so then, no one can move my car around.

Ouch sorry to hear, I know the pain of damage to a new car. Last time I washed the Evo I found some nice chipping on one of the doors and what looked some light key markings on another door. Then yesterday I saw a nice 2-3 inch scratch on the rear bumper from god knows what. Oh and my dad backed into my front bumper hitting it with the hitch on his truck. All this in 5 months/5k miles

I got rear ended by a semi last week and went nuts on the guy. Jumped out in the middle of the freeway, stopped traffic and just went off. I was about to head butt the guy when the cops showed up. :/ Damage wasnt too bad, not even enough to claim so I'm just gonna have to deal with it.
Good job not beating on your bro, I couldn't say I wouldn't throw the kid a beatin.

My legacy got hit twice in the same spot (front bumper, drivers side) in the first 4 months I owned it. Had it painted both times. Lucky for me it was free both times. Gotta love working at a dealer.
