Some 10 years ago I came home after a night out and backed into the garage only to hear something hit the car. My son (15) left his bike in the middle of the garage thinking he would put it away before I came home. It put a small dent and 4 " scratch in the left rear fender. Two seconds after he came running out of the house because he heard the garage door open but it was too late. He "manned up" and apologized immediately offered to pay to have it fixed. I gave him a hug and said I was proud that he too responsibility (he's a Eagle Scout). Three years later, now 18, when he bought his Cervelo P2 I reminded him and told him carbon fiber doesn't dent, it cracks.
The car still has the dent and I touched up the scratch.... hey I drive it. It has 473,000 miles and 50,000 since it was restored.
