What was the first blemish on your Z?

Falling eggcorn on my passenger side fender. Tiny ding. YOu can only see it at certain angles. That tree is coming down in the next month though!

Scraped it underneath the first day (like I do every day I drive it) entering and leaving my driveway and I said "Good... now I don't have to be so OCD about it".

I feel the same way. First week or two I was so paranoid driving my Z, but the first week I scraped under front right bumper (can't see it unless you really get down and dirty to look). Really annoyed me knowing it was there at first. Some idiot painted a parking stall past the point of the drive way and I was unfamiliar with the place so the front right scraped. Then the second week a rock left a small blemish in the center of my windshield.

After that I said F-it and nothing has happened since. Its been 3 months!

Well, curbed one of my wheels within a few days of owning it, and then another not too long after.

Hood had some custom swirls installed courtesy of the damned dealership, but they werent TOO noticeable.

Oh, and I did this gem myself a couple weeks ago at the track. Oops 8P

Of course. $4200 total damage. $2200 of which was labor, $1000 was a single headlight, and the other $1000 comprised of a new core support, new front bumper, bumper support, foam support, and misc. brackets and whatnot. Oh, I guess it'd also include another $250 for a new oil cooler core. It wasn't punctured, and I drove it back to the pits, but it was dented and probably not very functional anymore.

Repairs should be complete within a week or so, right around when I get back to my base from my Thanksgiving leave. I told them to save the bumper - going to keep it as a memento lol.

That was a bit out of my control, to be honest - it ended up bugging out, presumably due to some sliding around, and I didnt know how to reset it at the time. Should have that figured out when I get it back.

Ouch! That sucks man! Didn't even look you were going fast enough for the car to react like that.
