My almost 40 years of no accidents (not my fault) ended yesterday. As I was backing up my new 3 month old Honda Pilot, I hit the bumper of a minivan. It should be easy to buff out the black bumper transfer from his bumper (A member of the group I was with), but my poor Pilot now has scratches and chips on its side. I was so angry with myself. 450-mile drive from Zion National Park to home was a quiet drive.
Yea, the wife is happy it wasn’t her

WOW. This little speed bump in life has affected you for the 450 mile drive back and still so much that you share it with us. Hate to see the response to a major life event.

Some people like to buy new and keep the car forever, so when you mess it up right off the bat, you get to look at it for the next 10 years.

Or you get it fixed right and after a while forget it happened. It's a new car, fix it and move on.
This is the new car OP obsessed over here for months, little wonder he's upset.

My coworker bought a brand new buick, when he came to work he had 29 miles on it. Coworker opened his door right into it.
40 years is a longtime no at fault. Im at 8 years

It sucks, its only a car and luckily not a child.
My Mom had a new car for a few days when her mother in law opened the door hard into a low retaining wall. 4 letter words were said...

Try 16-18 years. I'm first and last owner of all my vehicles.

It only happens to new cars that aren't paid for yet.
That's Karma's way of punishing people for buying on credit.

Years ago my Sister had bought a new car and took it to my parents house to show it off. She parked it right behind my Mothers car. My mom was in a hurry to get somewhere and backed right into her after she pulled up. One hour from new to smashed!
No reversing camera or sensors?
You could claim that you were using the braille method of low speed maneuvering.
Sorry to hear this. It sucks, no doubt.
I don't think my wife has put any dents into her car, but they still show up. At least one is from me getting too close to it with a snow shovel.
At least now you have a used car--the next dent won't hurt nearly as much.
