I made it almost a month….but I guess I’ve already hit a milestone.

I did my first car was yesterday and found scratches all over the rear fender. I couldn’t believe it.

was it the dog? Some jealous teens at the school I work at? …then I remembered….my son was using a ski pole to scratch the ice rhime off the fender.

🤷🏻‍♂️

it’s a Bronco now. Let’s get some more pin stripes.

Eh - that’s nothing. (and, I am sure he was just trying to help!)

My friend’s son once cleared a foot of snow off his brand new BMW with a metal snow shovel.

you may be able to clean it up a bit with a heat gun by very carefully and slowly warming up the plastic a bit

At least it’s not on the paint. I was fortunate enough to have some jealous F@“k purposely key mine (ya can just tell) and mine is a plain-Jane, base non-sas

My son was just having a good time scraping ice off with his nearest available tool.
Better the fender than scratching paint off metal.

I might just leave it as a badge of “this is no longer a brand new car.”

I kind of want to check ford accessories to see how much a single Everglades fender costs…and what do they charge for “installation”

Take your flares off and spray them with Duplicolor truck bed liner.

will take you about 45 seconds to “install.”

also make your son do it.

I pay more for zero deductible comprehensive insurance for rock chips/cracks on windshield glass and jealous idiots. And if I never have to use it fine, but I am sure these windshields with cameras are not cheap to replace.

I can't help but feel the the son needs some counseling. Of course we are in a kinder and gentler era now that when I was a kid.
