I Hate People and One Payment and Bumper Hacked!

[VidPro]

Looks like I have lots of company. Again, people suck!

I’m in the Boston area so I’ve seen a lot. The fact is there are a lot people that think it’s no big deal. I’ve had several people tell me that’s nothing, it’s just a scuff.

I called my favorite body shop on the south shore and I’ll have a quote in a couple of weeks. I think if I put clear bra on this would be nothing.

Two shopping carts planted on my driver side door just now. I hope the people that did this rot alive and then suffer in the afterlife. Here I am always making sure any cart I use gets put away so it can’t roll. What’s the point of trying to keep a vehicle nice? Second car payment second hack on my new truck.

I'm so sorry you are having such bad luck with your new truck. Maybe time to consider rock rails or maybe running boards.

Fear not. Suuuper easy fix. These doors are so thin. I already tapped someone's outside mirror and sure enough! Small dent. Like I said, the metal is thin enough that dent removal tools easily fixes them. And they're so cheap!! Like this one for under 10 bux.

Its probably the main reason why I decided to get running boards. Parking in parking garages and parking lots. Even through I try not to park near anyone. The running boards a good extra protection again car doors. But probably not to much again karts. Can't fix lazy people that's for sure.

Thanks for the info. I think running boards are a must as a bit of protection. There seems to be no paint damage so I assume a good dent removal place can clean it up.

And people laugh at me for not taking my Mustang to certain places I know this crap will happen.

Where the dent is would have been protected by aftermarket molding. I bought and installed them for $130. They attach where the dent may be on your truck. Like the truck one inch higher in the rear.

Has anyone mentioned dash cams? Front and rear with parked mode. That and park far away from everyone...

I bought an Aukey unit for about 40 bucks. Works very well. After about a week of this thing I'm not going to probably replace it with anything better, it's good enough for what it's supposed to do. I ran the power cable from the top Center windshield under the headliner down the a-pillar. Pull the adapter through all the crap behind the steering wheel ended up attaching it to the driver side 12 volt receptacle.

I would be curious to see this in a larger photo of the entire windshield. Curious how much space this camera occupies from the field of view. For $40, it is tempting for sure.

If you double click on the photo it will go big. It's pretty wide

I meant a view from farther back so you could see the entire windshield to see how much space that camera takes up in your field of view. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

you can install it on either side I have everything on the left hand side but it's pretty small as you can see

Okay here you go

Thank you - that is VERY tempting for $40. I may have to do that at some point.....
