    The color of her Highlander is Blizzard Pearl, luckily she just had mild scratches and scuffs on all over her LRQ. I used some compound polish, elbow grease, wax and a buffer...There is no sheet metal damage to her higlander and by the time I finished buffing her out, you cant even tell she hit anything... Other than it being the 6th time she hit our parked vehicle in the driveway...It's all good, just need to prep the area and color match the flare...thx for the laughs

    If it makes you feel ANY better... my wife


    1.) backed my mom's car into a trash can and broke the taillights
    2.) backed her Audi into a parking pole, had to get the rear bumper repainted
    3.) backed my old F-150 into a telephone pole, then put it in drive to go forward and ended up mangling the entire side..the entire bed had to be replaced.
    4.) While ^said F-150 was in the body shop, the rental truck she got was a new 2008 Nissan titan which she took camping, and I SHIT YOU NOT she backed the rental truck into a tree...

    I'm 100% serious too. My insurance went through the roof. :(


    Maybe I should have gotten her one of these for Christmas...

    After the 6th time she hit one of our vehicles in the driveway there's really no reason to be a jerk. I did all my cussing while she was at work and was over it by the time she got home. I knew she felt bad, so why make her feel worse.:eek:

    Those wheels are Uniroyal Liberators A/T. My buddy has them oh his f350 4x4 and said that they have lasted longer than any other tire he has put on. I like them cause they are not too aggressive or loud and would you believe that I got them at wal-mart.

    Yeah I know, but I'm going to try it anyway. I went to English Paint and got a color match rattle can. I've prepped, it tapped and covered the rest of the truck. I'm just going to wait for the sun to come up and then I'll paint. If it doesnt work, then I'll check out Macco or line x...
