I'm just glad the weather was too cold last weekend for me to do a full correction on it, or I may have blown my head gasket.:wall
 
That be nothin'. My wife creased the whole rear fender of her new car on the garage opening 20 years ago. Still got the car and yeah...the wife too!
 
That's bad, but not the worst I have seen. I had my '97 Trans Am in a transmission stop and when they were done they backed it out of the bay and scraped the whole rear quarter on the passenger side on the overhead door track. I was pissed. The guy said his employee couldn't see good throught the tints. I replied "Well, did he ever hear of rolling a window down?" What a nightmare.
 
I will never complain about my wife backing into an industrial dumpster ever again. At least I was able to take care of the paint transfer
 
I feel your pain! My GF backed my 2012 Jeep with less 5k miles on it into a bush with some hard sticks. Right now down to metal on the quarter, rear bumper got screwed up and trim moldings. Worst part of it MY CAR HAS A BACK UP CAMERA AND SENSORS!!!!! HOW DOES IT EVEN HAPPEN!!! SENSORS!!! They beep loudly when your close to piece of paper.... Ok i'll rant here but when she showed me... I know better "its ok honey, its just a car" secretly I was thinking #@!$$@#%%$^&*^*%$@#!$R@Q#$@#!$@#$%^&%&^
 
Lol, yeah I definitely cried inside when I saw her do it. I was in the living room and heard it happen so I went outside and I think time slowed down to enable me to see the revelation of the damage in slow motion!!! But yeah the rims are another great by product of my wife trying to be helpful. She had rode through some dusty country roads and wanted to clean the car herself so she grabs the power washer, throws the dirt blaster attachment on and goes to town on the Plasti Dip'd rims. She sends me a picture of the half stripped rims and tells me she wants the rims black and shiny again... Needless to say that got put at the bottom of the To-Do list.
 
Well this ones got ya' beat.

I detailed a brand new car for a guy I work with and three days later his wife totaled the vehicle on her way to work.
He took pictures of it in the wrecker yard. He said "The accordion has the most beautiful water beads he has ever seen."

After the ordeal with the insurance company they purchased another brand new vehicle and three days later I detailed it.
Two weeks ago she totaled it!. They are still trying to get the insurance co. to pronounce it totaled so they can move on.

In the meantime they got an extension on the rent-a-racer until the claim is settled & they can purchase another vehicle.
...yes, he said the first thing he wants to do when he gets his next new car is have me detail it. (I thought I was cursed)

NOTE: I am not going to detail the rent-a-racer. If she totals another vehicle now she could be classified as non-insurable.

Do you feel better now?
 
That definitely gave me a strong chuckle. I kind of feel bad for laughing at that and can only imagine the cosmic karma I have inadvertently stirred up against myself. However, I definitely have to give you your kudos because a situation such as that definitely speaks for the quality of your work and customer satisfaction.

P.S. The accordion line is epic!!!
 
When I was 18 I had a Jeep that I had just washed. I went to back it up in the garage with my door open and me on the outside. My foot slipped off the clutch (wet) and the Jeep (which 9 times out of 10 would have stalled) kept going. It went on its merry way in reverse, me stuck on the outside, with the door open. It peeled the door back and pooped the fender on its voyage outside.
