Turns out after a professional assessment there's 56 dents on the hood, a further 118 on the roof, and a few on the roof rails and top of the tailgate. So now they are all being "massaged" out one by one - anyone had any experience of these mobile paintless dent repair shops that rove the country? I went with the one through progressive so it will be guaranteed for as long as I own the car, but there's loads of these tents popped up in mall parking lots all across town promising to cover my deductible etc... clearly out of the goodness of their hearts.
So, I'm driving around in a Ram 1500 for the next few days. The Ram is OK, certainly quieter and less rattly than the Pathy with a much better stereo, but it is so wide, has the turning radius of Jupiter, and the wheels chirp from a standstill no matter how gentle I try to be. It's also quite hard to get in and out of, especially with a dodgy knee. For some reason my kids think the truck is the best thing ever, I'm less convinced.
