I hate parking my z in a crowded parking lot, i had my z for about 1 month now and already have 2 dents on the passenger door from lousy jackasses who let their door swing.

This past Saturday I washed my car in my driveway, went inside for a minute. When I came back outside my neighbor was mowing his lawn with the mower blowing all over my car! Complete lack of respect. Its not theirs so they don't give a crap!

One morning I was leaving for work and noticed something different on my deck lid. Some time during the night some a$$hole came along a popped my Z emblem off. Left a nice little key or screw driver scratch to catch my eye. I, like most of you here, tend to park far away and alone in lots. My wife hates it when shes with me. The other day we are in her car ('07 Sentra) and about to pull out, when the car door next to her swings open and *BLAM*. Some kid jumps into the car next to us laughing. We both get out and are like WTF! The dad gets in and acts like he didn't notice anything and starts the car to drive away. I yell at him What the f**k, man!? He looks at me and my wife, then says "sorry" and starts to back up. My wife flips out and yells at the guy and he just keeps backing up and then takes off. I almost threw the soda I was drinking I was so mad. Too bad it was mostly empty. My wife now parks like I do, away from everyone.

I always look like a douchebag before getting into my car, checking if anything's happened to it.

The perfect thread and I found it in perfect timing. I've had my new 2008 Z for 8 months now and to start the story just right I had somebody give me a little door ding on the driver side the third day I had the car. I try and park as far away as possible but somehow people still end up parking around especially in the crowded L.A Fitness parking lot. The best one of all was last week on my passenger side which I consider a door slam against my car not a ding. It’s about 4 inches long and it makes the car look like ****!!!. Same scenario no idea who, when, and where… because of course my car is right where I left it and no cars around when I get in. I with pleasure, will body slam someone if I catch them touching my car.

LOL I do the same thing! Makes me look OCD as hell, but I don't care. I have always owned nice cars, and have always been paranoid about parking them where I can't see them. Luckily, so far none of my nice rides have ever been vandalized...so I must be doing something right!

People are just oblivious to the whole door ding thing. Many people think "it's just a CAR, they build thousands of them every day!"

Yeah, but this one is mine!

I always park at the end of the row, where the painted line loops around with all of the diagonal criss-cross lines in it...I park 1/4 of the way over onto the criss-cross lines--at least it makes me feel secure.

Of course my wife does that with her new Tahoe too...and she came out the other day to find a HUGE shopping cart dent/crease/scuff/scratch, and the deepest f*cking door ding I've ever seen in the rear door. Looks like it was done with a .22 pistol!

Sometimes I really hate people like that...they deserve CHAIN SAW ENEMAS!

Nice first post.

It doesn't have to be an exotic car to be envied. Everything's relative.
