Angry friend put a dent in my hood

last night my friend was sitting on my car and this morning my mom wakes me up and tells me theres a huge dent in my hood. i go out to see. shes right. i popped the hood and took a rubber mallet to the inside of it to see if it would pop out. it worked some but theres still a good 5" dent in there. what can i use to get that off with?

Damn thing works on TV. I've heard it isn't that effiecient in life though. . Anyways. . Couldn't hurt to try, if it works you'll save some cash, and if it doesn't work then just use those popa-dent places.

Angry Grrr...

Well, I would really call he sorry azz up and get on him for that. I will not even let my friends (or anyone else) lean on my car what so ever. If they do, I will say something...If they ignore me I go over and push them off. If they have a problem with that than you know where it goes from there.

uhh you dont know my friend obviously. my friend frankly probably wont give a **** and im a loose cannon myself. if i said something like "youre gonna need to pay for it" hed probably make up some bullshit excuse and then id get pissed off and end up hitting him with a skateboard until his guts were lying on the concrete.

Simple solution: Report it to insurance and make the "friend" pay your deductible. With any luck, you'll get enough so that you can add a little and get the cf hood. I would think that a stock, painted hood would cost more than the CF one!
