It needs to look like it's been workin', boy!

No no, you just described a Renault Clio

On the other hand I'm the guy who, when he put a new engine in his '65 Chevy panel truck, hauled the old one to the refurbishing shop and the new one home in the back of his Mustang II hatchback.

Not much is sacred in my little world.

I agree, I got so mad the other day. I was well on my side of the white line and a lady pulled up almost next to me, about 4 kids piled out hitting the hell out of my truck with both doors, one put a big dent in it. I got out and angry, but matter of fact said she would have to pay for it. Next thing I know I'm being blasted by this black lady wearing a blonde wig, somehow it was my fault that the car next to her was too close to the white line so she had to pull up beside me. I couldn't even get in a word.

I called the police..I wish I didn't do it in front of her..she pulled out and parked in another space.. She totally denied it happened, even gave the cop a fit..

In the end it didn't matter, she had no insurance.....

Observe the image of my car. The black plastic line on the side, is a dent protector. I even deliberately tried to make a dent with a number of cars, to check how effective it is and it even worked against an SUV. Any door will hit that plastic before it hits the metal.

Just a suggestion, maybe you can put something on that works the same way

Oh, one more thing. Any dents visible on this image are because of impacts with local flora and fauna
