No wonder I hate baseball

[Humboldt Stang]

I went to watch my nephew's Little League practice today.
One of the kids hit a foul ball and it smacked the roof of my car, right above the windshield, not quite dead center.
I now have about a quarter sized crease there.
Ruined my day.
I'm hoping the paintless dent remover guy can fix it.

That sucks man! Did you beat the crap out of the kid who hit the foul ball?

That sucks for sure! I hope they can get it out for you. Plus I would've parked as far away from the field as possible...in the grass if need be.

I never cared for it either since I had a tooth chipped playng ball once. sorry to here man.

Had the same thing happen to our old Saturn. Of course, the roof isn't made out of plastic.

That Sucks.
if it was me as soon as it hit my car I would of got up YELL SON OF A... then start to cry and Run to my baby

The very first thing that would cross my mind if I were parking at a little league ball park is "is it humanly possible to hit a baseball this far?"

Don't feel bad though. At least you didn't get white paint overspray on your 2 week old car because of a bunch of dim wits painting a big white water tower a block away and not warning anybody!

Swapped rides with the wife today so it could get repaired.
He did a great job, I can't tell where the ding was.
And it was only 90 bucks.

LOL, this was only the second time Sammie drove the Stang in the 2 1/2 years I've owned it.
The first time was the day I got it.

Humboldt Stang, glad you were able to get the dent repaired...if you lived in the Hampton Roads area (SE Virginia)...your profile doesn't list your location... I would have recommended my PDR guy to you (I've used him for over 10 years). In fact, I had him take out a couple of small shallow dents that either came from the factory or while my baby was sitting on the lot.
However, you need to start thinking of where you taking your baby...I avoid taking mine to the grocery stores (shopping carts), near golf courses (golf balls), basketball courts, and tennis courts, and any kind of playing field (baseball, etc.). Take another car and it will save you all the grief of having to get her repaired.

Glad to hear you got it fixed and looks good as new

Wise advice for sure, but not possible.
My Stang is my DD and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I try to take precautions, but this time I wasn't as careful as I could've been.
I'll walk from the outskirts of a parking lot in a storm just to stay away from everyone.
This time was tricky, as I wanted to be away from the field, but not so far away that I was worried about the car.
The field is in the middle of a bad neighborhood.
And no other car to take.
