$75 and she'll be right.

Believe it or not I bought my car with two dings right off the dealer's lot with 12 miles on it. The dealer's ding guy got them both out 100% - I can't even tell they were there.

People suck. I caught one lady's child who kicked open the door on her 1960's Caddy into the side of my SUV while I was sitting in it. I spit my burger out and stared open mouth at her as she took her child inside McD's. Once I recovered I went out and looked the the huge dent her darling put into my three month old SUV and went in after her.

She hid in the bathroom for 25 minutes before coming out. I took her outside to examine the damage. Oh, that wasn't my car. I said beg your pardon, are you calling me a God Damn Liar? Open your door and you'll note where this $500 worth of damage on my God Damn brand new truck lines up perfectly where your little girl kicked open the door ... so you want to exchange insurance company names or should I just call the cops and claim hit and run.



There was about 30 people standing around after I got done shouting ... and taking pictures.

Did they do a cut job to it or did they do some spot painting? 'Cause I got a door ding and it has gone through the paint and into the primer.

Cheap alternative.......Import sponsor stickers. They go right over if the ding isn't too bad and no one will ever know. While I'm not a big fan of putting stickers on my car, it sure looks a lot better than a ding.

Don't feel so bad. The first one is always the hardest one to get over. I have 5 in the 3 months I've owned my 05. 4 on the passenger and one on the driver. The passenger side looks horrific. I'd post a pic but it's that bad. I few more and I'm gonna take it to a shop to get them removed. But sh*t happens and that's life. Not everyone is courteous or respectful of other people's property. All I have to say is Karma.

That was my very first day in Washington state following a three day drive up from Riverside.

Whatever they did is invisible and perfect. These were light dings caused by another Z along the row of Z's at the dealers. I looked at every other one of the dozen or so Z's there and none of them had dings - just the one my wife picked out! The ding was right at the crease of the door. I told the dealer that if he didn't get the ding out completely that he would never hear the end of it from me.

some indian lady pulled up next to me at work when i was in my car reading something.

Her mom opens her door and its very windy mind you just let the wind take the door BAM into my maxima. I got out and showed her the chip she made, and he said i didnt make that chip sorry and went shopping.

I was going to KEY her car and drive off, but I said forget it.

I got my first door ding today. Very very tiny, only visible to me, I swear I will never park it in a crowded lot.

That sucks. Just take it to to Dent Wizard, or a similar place and your Z should look like new.

Dude, your comment is pretty ignorant. You are being as ignorant as the lady who walked away from his ding. Shame on you. What's even more shameful is that for about two hours, no one on this board has challenged your ignorance.

Nah, I would've keyed a huge "Z was here" on her car. Forget hit and run or calling cops. Just good old vigilante payback...
