Ha, no kidding. I am a nut when it comes to cars and bikes. My girlfriend thought I was completely off my rocker for crouching down and inspecting things she couldn't even begin to notice! I had to do it when she wasn't around so that she wouldn't call the nutty bin! I first saw it by accident. I had just waxed the car for the first time and was walking around making sure I didn't leave any white residue on the car. Well, the reflections hit just right and I saw the ripples. I too thought it was damage from the previous owner. So, after posting on here and waiting for Sunday when the dealership was closed so I could go inspect the new ones on the lot, I confirmed what they were.
I can't stand dings or dents. Heck, I paid $120 bucks for the removal of a ding that was so small, I was probably the only one who could see it. The dent guy took about 10 minutes to remove too!
Oh well, call me a certified car nut if you will.
What's even funnier is that during my inspection of one of the new convertibles on the lot, I discovered a ding in the passenger side door. Yes, it was NEW new. Oh, there was a tag on the window that said SOLD too! If the new owner reads this, it is a Saphire Blue/Silver convertible at Bonneville and Son Chrysler.
