But for you sure...have it taken care of. You'll feel a lot better about the car.

Click and clack used to say if your car isnt running right and you cant fix it....wash it!

I always get it washed at a nicer place, hand dry etc- it looks great, except for these spots.... i'm a shallow person haha... and i know the more my car looks like a junker, the more i'll want to buy a new one. I don't want to though, it's been great not having a car payment and I hope this will last me at least ten more years.......

so i rather keep my car looking nice/new. I've been really happy with how nice my interior has stayed! Now if I was only as careful on the outside
i just dont want to be an ignorant girl walking into a body shop and having them say it costs 1k or something, if i could get it done somewhere for less.

You worry too much. Yes its true you don't know everything but then again, neither does anyone else.

It is your fate to have the car made to look new again. Just as it is my fate to have the car....not look like new.

Go get it fixed. Whatever happens happens. Try and shop around to two or three places. Ask people you know where a reputable shop is. With a little work you can find a good price.

But don't put it off. Or else youll be buying a new car!

You may want to check out and see if the local high school has a vocational body shop. Just a thought....
