'05 Vibe is only 8 weeks old and has it's first rock chip :(

Post by SBC31 »

I bought my wife a '05 Vibe in late June, and she got her first rock chip on it Of course this is bound to happen as she drives quite a distance to and back from work, but it sucks that it happened so soon... Especially since only 1 payment has been made on the car.Guess I will get some touch up paint when I bring the car in for it's first oil change next week.

Sucks but if you drive it, they will happen at any time. Be glad it was not the windshield and yes get a some touch up. Touch it up more then once and build the coats of paint up.

Well, look at the bright side. At least you didn't get into a $10k+ accident 3 days after taking delivery like I did

I have like three small dents and a couple scrapes thanks to the incosiderate idiots at my school....I'm just going to wait until I get outa this place and then take it and get everything fixed at once. Once you get a few chips you don't feel so bad anymore because it's bound to happen After a golf ball hit mine, I kind of gave up on feeling upset.
