Default I feel so Sick Right now

So I moved this weekend and while moving I unknowingly parked next to this small stump right next to my driveway on my driverside and swung my door open fairly quickly (not slamming it open) to help my fiance unload a few things out of the back of the truck and heard the nausiating "CLUNK" and as you can all probably guess by now put a nice quarter sized dent in the bottom of my driver side door about 6" up from the bottom chipping the paint as well....[sm=headbang.gif]..... I've owned my truck for over a year now and this is the very first dent/ding/paint chip that it has ever had. I only have my self to blame for this I know. And before you all say "Its JUST a truck" for me my truck is not just a truck its my baby. As my uncles have all said "some people have children and others have their vehicles". Its a horrible, HORRIBLE lesson to learn like that but as a reminder to everyone else who doesn't really pay that much attention to where they park or what they park next to just take the extra second or two to check what your next to, those small little items tend to pop out of no where if your not paying to close of attention....

Man sorry to hear that I know your pain. My 06 ram has less than 3k miles and the other day I was bypassing a road closed sign because the road didnt need to be closed anymore and when i got to the other end thinking i was home free i heard a terrible noise and then realized i clipped the sign and it scratched down the side. It is a bad feeling.

I think its to high to cover. You know that indentation on the door that runs along the bottom 8" or so of the truck well its about an inch or less below that. I also dont really like those rocker panels and haven't seen too many of them that look good on a light silver (minneral silver??) truck....If I found some that looked good then I may consider it if its possible though

lol, I know exactly how you feel. Some people are different about their vehicles. My brother just bought a new 2006 Ram and it has a small door ding in it. I asked him the other day if he knew about it, and he replied "Yeah, it was there when I bought it. They marked it down a little for me." I was like Whaaaa!? I would have rather paid full price and had them fix that ding. That's just me though.
