i used 2 b scared of getting a "dingy" on our car bc i thought u got "pins and needles" this is bc when I was maybe 3 or 4 (i was still in a car seat) my mom hit something and got a dingy in the side of my car . . . my brothers n sisters all got out 2 look @ it n for some reason that i have yet 2 figure out . . . . i had pins and needles all over my body . .. so i always associated "dingies" with getting "pins and needles"
