who's the drama queen here?

p.s. no dents, but a lot of rock chips on the bumper and few on the hood i should've gotten a clear bra

 

 

Somebody woke up this morning and had a bowl of ***** flakes...

 

I had a beat-up Astro Van park way too close to me the other day. I was parked in the remote corner of a huge parking lot. There were plenty of choice spots right by the store's entrance but this guy followed me to my spot because he and his kids presumably wanted to get a close look at my car.

As his driver's side door was about to open I backed up to change parking spots and the dude looked at me like I had three heads or something. Luckily, he didn't follow me to my new spot. He ended up pulling into another spot right by the entrance.

If I hadn't moved when I did, I probably would have sustained a ding on my passenger side door.

In short, I realized that I'll get dinged sooner or later regardless of where I park. It's just the way it is-unfortunately.

 

Thats bull$hit. From now on, anyone who purposely parks near me is getting the "gum and spit" treatment as mentioned above

 

I've had couple minor dings for a while, but all the PDR places in Houston are asking 150 to remove them both.

Friday night I park at my friends apartments and we go out to play darts. Come back and some redneck has parked his "joke truck" (Z71 with probably rediculous lift kit), with his drivers side door, so close to my door that I figure he must have gotten out of his passenger side.

I pull out, because I can't fit between to inspect for dings, and find a tiny bit of red paint........

ON MY WINDOW! Thats how high his truck was. Fortunately no other indications of contact.

I wrote a nice note on his windshield in lipstick that one of the girls with us provided.

 

lets castrate him!

 

You have to share what your note said!

 

I'm pretty new to this board, so I dunno what words are filtered but....

" Learn how to park urban cowboy, and next time, leave a ****ing crowbar."

Took up the whole windshield. Bright pink.

 

Hah. I would of done more since you did mention he HIT your car. How about deflating the air out of all his tires? That should ruin his day and make him think twice next time. I'm tired of these inconsiderate people . They will all pay

 

I have a small ding on my passenger side door. It can't be more than 1 inch across and the paint is not broken. Most people don't notice it, but I do. When you look at the reflection off the paint near the dent, it looks warped.

I also think somebody rubbed my bumper, because it looks slightly discolored on one side. Again I'm the only one that really noticed it.

My friend who works on cars told me that the ding on the door should be fairly inexpensive to fix. He said that the interior door panel should be removed and the ding should be very gently rolled out from the inside so as not to damage the paint.

 

1. Keep your touchup paint handy.
2. Dings are going to happen....do your BEST to avoid them and don't loose days off your life expectancy when they do.
3. Treat yourself to a once a year bodyshop touch up, taking care of everything at once. (You probly spend more each year on other mods) You'll have something to look forward to each year.

 

Really? I thought PDR used magnets????

 

a friend of mine at work keeps these signs in his car that he puts in the windows of people that park too close. it says something like thanks for parking so close a**hole next time leave a canopener, and there's a picture of Mickey Mouse giving the finger. he keeps a stack of them in his glove box.

 

OMG!

: opens paint shop pro to make my own :

 

I saw that in on the DTMpower forum and had to Print out some.. I keep them handy for all the idiots out there

 

Good idea! LOL~

 

A couple of weeks after I got my Z I parked in what I thought was a "safe" spot in a parking lot. Upon returning to my car, there was a monster 1960's Cadillac parked so close to my driver's door that I couldn't even squeeze my body between the cars!

In looking at the Caddy, I noticed that the driver's window was open, and the keys were in the ignition........

I reached in and grabbed the keys and threw them under the driver's seat, got in my Z from the passenger side, and drove away with a huge smile on my face

When I drove by the lot later in the day, the Caddy was still sittin' there! I hope the idiot never finds the keys!

 

He's got to be blind not seeing the keys on driver seat. Perhaps tossing it under the car would be more harmful.

 

I tossed them UNDER the seat, not ON the seat.
