I watched a lady get out of the SUV, walked over to the rear door where her daughter was getting out and stand between the door and my car. She was actually making sure that her daughter did not door ding my car. She never seen me looking at her either.
even though she may have been more worried about her car...i wish there were people like her o.O...

So many people are just sorry, and barely take care of their own belongings, much less even think about trying to maybe be just a tiny bit careful around someone else's car. Others are just jerks who are jealous.
That is cool the lady watched her child get out of the car, but you've got to ask yourself why she parked next to you, if you were in fact, in the middle of nowhere in the parking lot.
Several times when I still had the Z, I would park hundreds of feet away from anyone else, and I didn't mind walking a quarter mile to get to the entrance of wherever I was going. I can't remember how many times I would come back to my car to find some P.O.S. parked right next to my car, yet there were still hundreds of other available spots!

I've had my z for 4 weeks and kept it flawless. Then last week my nephew decided to fall off his bike and sent the metal handle streaking across my rear quarter panel. Now I have a huge 4 inch long scratch that took all the paint off down to the primer.
Hope this makes you feel better.

Damn..On your 07! SOB's...I feel you man.
Quick story, I had this almost happen to me 2 weeks ago at a hotel I was at. The wife and I was walking back from a restaurant to the hotel when I just decided to check on my car, guess what a big Suburban parked next to me. I started to walk faster to check for door dings and the driver (girl) opens her door sits in her SUV and the wind opens the door wider! It looked like she gave me a ding. Luckily for her sake it came within a centimeter of hitting my car. My wife was like **** did she hit it? I said no...the girl just looked (oddly) at me as I checked my door, she then backed her land yaght out and took off. People like that **** me off more than anything.

laugh at them all you want, it only takes 30 seconds to put these on. they work for me. its hilarious to see people walk by and laugh, but by the time they get 10 more steps they look back and think what a good idea. so far so good on the dings.

I'll share my frustration....
Parked my car last Saturday to get my hair cut and food.... of course I parked at the back of the lot. Well I come out an hour later to find a POS white buick next to me with high school graduation tassels hanging on the rearview (no other cars are even close to either of us). As I get closer I notice he had to park 2 feet away!!! So now I'm getting pissed and I put my food down and check out my door..... luckily I find nothing at first glance and take off to head home.
Once I get home I crouched down to take a better look and notice the smallest ding ever with a little white scuff. Trust me this is THE smallest door ding ever but it was enough to make me drop my food and race about 4 miles back to see if the car was still there... but of course it was long gone.
What is wrong with people??? Did he have any reason to park next to me with all the open spots all around and then let his door hit mine... THIS is what really pisses me off!!! That and the fact that I missed the dent the first time when his POS was still parked there.
Thanks to the a_ _hole in the buick for giving me my first ding after a year and a half of ownership.
I agree fully! Vigilante justice!

With my 03 Z a few months ago I actually came out of a store and saw some big big African American leaning yes leaning on his door which was resting on my door. I came out and just looked at him and asked him if he would respect my property, he proceeded to get mad at me and mumbled something so at this point I am enraged and not thinking about how big he was so I said this if f'in crazy you are leaning against my car possibly damaging it and you are gonna talk **** to me F you buddy. He started walking towards me and I wanted to run but I stood my ground and he said you don't want this I said you are probably right but come on man just have a little respect for someone's property I mean come on man WTF. He got a call on his cell answered it and walked away. I got his plate number but I didn't ever pursue it because I traded the car a month later. It just goes to show there are @$$holes everywhere man!!!

If I'm really concerned I put on my car cover. It takes like 30 secs and stops most door dents/dings. The ones that people throw open there door on the car I can't do anything about. But, when that happens with the car cover on it doesn't chip the paint it just dents the car and I pay the $80 to the dent doctor to straighten out. This happens about once a year..... Roger, from dent doctor and I are pretty good friends now. Of course, his business survives because of these idiots.
What can you do?
If I know in advance that I'm going into a war zone I take the F100. Look at the molding on this guy:

i always prepare in advance by not pulling all the way into a spot and not parking in a tight spot. But hey, theres always paintless dent removal. Thats what the dealerships do before selling their used cars
