Default Lotus Decides to Throw Rocks at Me :-[

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZYU4...=youtube_gdata

A couple more scratches in the paint, one small dent, and a chip in the windscreen.

Is there a way to pull out small dinks in the hood?

I meant the lotus kept things under control and you did a good job of keeping calm, slowing down and avoiding the situation.

yeah it looks like he just went a little too wide approaching and exiting the turn, misplaced wheel took him the rest of the way...trust me, he probably feels worse than you do.

Normally true. Some PDR guys use a method called a glue stick for dents you can't get a tool on. Ask them. It works!

That sucks, I wouldn't have thought you'd got any damage from his off... didn't seem close enough (or in line).
