Dude, this happens a lot! I bought my Z with no dings in it and park miles away (or so it feels like) from work, class, the store etc. Still will come out to that one jerk parked right next to me. I now have all kinds of door dings in my car... stupid...

one of the campuses i go to always has a packed lot. i remember this one day when i was heading to class i signaled for a parking spot for a good 5 minutes. there was a another girl driver directly ahead of me as the car in the spot i wanted was pulling out.
i was like there's no way shed pull into my spot after KNOWING and SEEING that I'm signaling for it. well, she drove directly in. mind you i was attempting to make a left into the parking spot, so the other girl had the chance to drive in the spot as the other car that was pulling out blocked me.
needless to say, i was furious because by then i'd be late to class looking and waiting for another spot to open. i took my frustration out and keyed her driver side doors pretty well. looking back, it was not the right thing for me to do. it made me just as low as her.
but whatever. wont be doing that anymore.

You're a piece of sh*t for doing it even just one time. And to think that somehow what you did merely put you on par with her offense is moronic..

That really sucks. I hate parking my Z places, a while back I went into the store with a dent/rash free car, I come back out and it looked like someone hard reversed directly into my bumper. I have a giant roundish dent and TONS of scratches in my rear bumper. It literally looks like someone gunned it in reverse, hit it, then stopped and tried reversing some more while turning, and then left. People suck but sometimes it's just out of your control. Insane that the guy didn't even talk to you about it when you confronted him.

no respect
Some people have no respect for other peoples property...I would've lost all control and maybe cut a tire or something. Hopefully you didnt have to come out of your pocket for this idiot.
Good thing that it's being taken care of.

What blows my mind is that he didn't even try to move.
What did he say when you confronted him? I need to read this dialogue for my own sick satisfaction of knowing justice was served.

Sadly, it was an older guy who tried to park in the same spot as a brand new G37. What a guy...

I saw that happen in a parking garage the other day. I chased the guy down, asked him about it, and he completely denied it. So I parked the car, got out to go look at his front bumper, and he proceeds to get into his minivan that he just parked (after supposedly driving around for 20 min looking for a spot). Then he drives off so I follow him in stealth mode, he parks, gets out and leaves. I ended up taking photos and gave the info to building security.

I always park too far from the curb / any spot (like 2 feet). I'm scared to scrape my front lip lol
eh, I witnessed one of the faculty members at my college hit another car while parking.. Spoke to her afterwards and said, "Those cars (5.5gen Maxima) have pretty bad turning radius huh?" Then she acted like she didn't do anything.
Reminds me of another dude who was flailing his arm out of his window while I was walking into a mall.. Then he just backs up into a car and yells at me saying he was asking me to help him park his big *** truck.. How am I supposed to know out of a crowded parking lot that he was flagging me down individually.
I'm starting to get the impression that nobody knows how to drive around here.. and the Nismo is staying in the Garage!

When I first got my Nismo, some large female at a burrito shop dinged my door getting out of her car. I was parked as far left as possible to allow even the heftiest of people to get out of their car easily. Didn't stop her from letting her door swinging out and hitting my door. Unfortunately I didn't see the ding until the next morning. Luckily for me my Nismo was going in for some work at the dealer and they hooked
me up with paintless dent repair and it was good as new.

I spent 4 months of looking for a aesthetically perfect z........ then two weeks after picking mine up an *** hat chucks a beer bottle into hood going opposite direction 45mph. Week six spent it's first night outside friends house w/ my other buddies qx56. We took homeowners Lexus ISF thats never seen a garage out for the night. Come back the next day to find it keyed the hell out of the left rear quarter (other friends temp tagged qx56 had over 14k estimate for paint repair ). Bout a month later find that some mf attempted to cut a corner and scuffed the right front fender through the clear.
Long story short at least you know who's *** to beat. Three separate instances w/ no ****ing clue taking place in less time than spent looking for the vehicle, is just pure unadulterated ********.

Two wrongs don't make a right and i understand how you feel. I'd just make sure I snapped pictures, got the plate # and VIN and let my insurance handle the rest.
