Default im an idiot..

just pulled into a spot, but instead of parallel parking like i should have i took it on head first cause the spot was big enough, and bumped my back wheel well with the other car its a small ding no bigger then a 1/4 penny size and a tiny rub, hoping it can be buffed out and the ding can just be popped right out, so ticked off though, luckily i have a great body work guy, but thats annoying and can ruin your night..

That has never happened to me. A few women I know have done that.

How expensive will it be to fix the other car?

Pulling a bend out of the rear wheel well might be spendy. Underneath the out body panel is an inner panel that makes popping out dings tricky and labor intensive. Hopefully it's in a spot that's not affected by the inner panel.

i guess, the cars a DD for me, i love it, its a beast but something i put 50+ miles a day on and not on beautifully paved roads either.. id love to keep the car new and nice forever but its nearly impossible when you drive in and out of manhattan and around NY everyday, just bound to get hit, bumped, bump something yourself.. were not talking about a garage queen here..

after getting the spot buffed and looked at, just gonna leave the ding.. its so small and barely noticeable anyways.. just gives me a good reason to give it back in 2 years and order a new one.. most likely S7 next time out..

On day two of ownership, I was parallel parking along a low brick curb at the "Festival of Speed" in Saint Pete, FL. I was looking very cautiously to the front and back, as there was a Ferrari in front of me and a Mercedes ?63AMG behind me.
I nicked the curb with the front wheel...Got a real sick feeling. 10 minutes later I ran into my sales and finance guy at the Audi booth. I shared the story, which prompted the sales guy to ask the finance guy; "Did he purchase the wheel protection?" The answer to this question is "No".

I hope your ding can be easily repaired.
