So I cut into my driveway a little too sharp and knocked over my garbage can. It's one of those big hard plastic ones the city provides. I have a pretty narrow driveway with another car parked in it, and was too lazy to move it back to the side of the house after trash P/U this morning, so this is my fault.

Anyhow, I hit it at about 0.0005mph and knocked it over. Get out and notice it caught the rear passenger fender just behind the rear door. Some nice scratches and a nice soft crease in the metal now from where it rubbed. Wow, these fenders are really soft.

I did managed to buff the scratches out and cannot see them but the crease remains.

Be careful around those rear fenders!

If you hit one of those big municipal cans that weigh about 50 pounds hard enough to knock it over, I would certainly think it would be enough force to dent sheet metal. Too bad you could not have caught any one of the harder areas. Sorry about your truck, a good pointless dent removal guy could probably get it out for about $75.

Yes PDR guy can fix it no problem. Just had a door ding fixed on mine a few weeks ago.

Sorry to hear your truck is damaged. Hopefully PDR guy can fix it up good as new!

Very easy to do in this truck, you figure you have the rear wheel cheat accounted for, but the ass end of these are wide. PDR will pull that for sure....already looks better just polished out.
