On my daily commute, I drive on a 1 mile section of road that runs beneath a beautiful canopy of old oak trees, home to squadrons of trained squirrel accorn wielding bombadeers. The acorns they drop from 20 ft are not hard enough to crack the windshield but do manage to dent the aluminum frunk. Beware the acorns!

Truth, my neighbor has a bunch of oaks lining our street, I try to take alternate routes to avoid his side of the road. Seems like we're heading into a cold winter the acorns production is high this fall and the squirrels are getting fat.

The oaks on my property have been fruitful and the acorns are taking over! Hearing one of those things drop from 50 feet onto the metal roof of my pole barn sounds like a gun shot going off.

Speaking of dented aluminum - I already have a couple small door dings. This is my first aluminum vehicle. How the heck do you fix those?

At my dealer, a pdr fellow shows up every Wed. to address dings in trades. Fixed a ding in my door from an inconsiderate parker for $30 cash.

I bought a small PDR kit on Amazon that I used to pull dings from some aluminum on my Airstream. However, the aluminum on my Lightning seems thinner and I had a pro pull the door ding I got on a windy day at a Walmart EA where the bollards are strategically placed to do maximum damage.

It pissed me off every time I saw it (which was every time I walked up to my truck as it was in the driver’s side). It was well worth the money to disappear it! The pro did a great job and I only see it if I wash the truck (which doesn’t happen too often) and look closely for it.
