Default Im gonna be sick

Well, got my 2005 QC Black Hemi in Nov, made it almost 6months without damaging it.

Yesterday i hand washed my wifes car, got lazy and then took my truck to the automated car wash (which always does a ****ty job, but gets the first layer of crap off). To enter the wash you have to go around a curve, i clipped my drivers side passenger door against the side of the car wash money taker.


End result: long dented scratch from back of passenger door to almost the gas tank.



PUKE
[:'(]


Feel sorry for me.


Although i had to break it in sometime.........

I feel for you.. When I had my 01 Ram, I hit a yellow pole in a drive through one day, I had it fixed and then a week later hit the same door in almost the same place on a campground site marker.. It sucks....

Been there bro, do any of you get glare from ur center display(radio/clock and also the glow around your climate controls) on ur back windows at night when you have the headlights on? This happened to me and as i looked out of the rear window to reverse, i couldn't see the mailbox behind me. I totaled the **** out of my tail gate and had to get it fixed. That **** cost $1100 for a new tailgate w/ paint and install. I was so mad that i could have killed someone. From what i hear, glare on the back window at night is common in the Rams, so i'm not alone, is this true?

Yep, it's pretty annoying; that's why I love my rear sliding window.

Ill get a pic of it tonight, and try to post it by tommorrow. Although, i don't know if i can stomach staring at it to long. I looked at it again at lunch, that sucker is probably 13+ inches long.

I had my idiot brother and little one in the truck and was watching the front end not to hit a concrete post, thats why i missed what was happenning. No one's fault but mine, but damn if i dont wanna blame someone. Maybe the carwash / texaco should pay for it, since the damn thing didnt wash my truck for crap anyway.

Did it crease or just a scratch, thats the real difference in the repair costs. I hope you did not get a real crease and it can come out. Sorry for the loss. I know I got a small scratch at my tailgate from moving and I freaked out.
