Paint question

Post by georgeramos »

Has anyone ever had body "flex" that would cause a crack to appear in the paint? There is a very fine crack on the panel just rear of the drivers side door that wasnt there yesterday... I drove several hundred miles this weekend with 2 pieces of luggage on the rear rack. At about 60mph the drag was quite noticeable and the handling was noticeably different (obvious I guess)...

Happy Fathers day to all you dads out there!
