Default I HATE Inconsiderate ****ING PEOPLE!

Well my first door ding ever in both of my new cars, and it figures it has to be my 05 Roadster.

Figures the only time I EVER drive the damn thing to work and this happens!

Now I am one to park as far as possible and when I park I always park on the end. Well some **** HEAD decides to ding my door, and guess what the bastard works with me because it happened in my parking lot. I did not get the vehicle info either or remember the vehicle next to me.

Sorry for the rant but this pisses me off that people are so DAMN inconsiderate and would give a rats *** about other people's ****!

Anyone know how much to get one ding out of a door? ****er left scratches as well, but I can get that out when I use the orbital this weekend!

End of rant!

I mean, whoever dinged my door, shoulda seen my car and said man thats a nice expensive car I need to be careful when opening my door, well thats how I am when I open my car door on any car regardless of condition! Some people in this world need a royal *** whooping for times like this!

But no, this ****er was probably late to go home to his fat *** non-showering wife!

Oh well, thanks for chiming in, I really want to punch someone in the face the next time I see someone ding someones door!

The sad part is I NEVER drive my car to work, I had to today because my wifes Maxima is being repaired for hail damage and I had stuff to carry into work today!

It could be a lot worse, I am only out about $100 or so. Life goes on and so does the fat **** that dinged my car!

Thanks for tuning in, I am over my madness for now!

Dayum. Sorry to hear that bro. I do the same thing at work & park at the far end where there's usually no cars but for some reason people still park next to you. That's how I got my first ding too. Depending on the size of the ding, you can usually have someone remove it for $20-$50. Good luck!

Sorry to hear Charles. I got a small one from a Z meet of all places...

The low end of what James quoted you is usually the low end of GB pricing... try to get one started in your area.

Thanks Yobri, hopefully the body shop that repaired my Maxima and received $5400 in hail damage from my insurance company will throw in a free door ding fix for my Z. Fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear that. On the bright side, at least you can stop worrying about where that first ding is going to come from

Here's my techniques to avoid dings. It has worked very well for many years.

1. Look for the nice, new cars, preferrably smaller car with short doors.

2. To my right is a handicap spot, which means the car to my left has its passenger door toward me.

3. At work, several of us collaborate on parking to protect each other's car. We do things like squeeze our passenger sides together, park kinda crooked, and leave mystery bags (brown paper bag that looks like something is in it) placed next to our car to keep others from parking too close.

4. I use the mystery bag method sometimes in mall parking lots.

lol "mystery bag" thats classic.

i usually just take 2 parking spaces and park diagonally. the cops see me do it and say nothign so they wont bother me about it, our lot is huge and its not interfering with regular parking.

My BIGGEST pet peave.

I always park on the far end of the lots miles from everyone but there are times when the lots are full and that just pissed me off. Someone is doing it on purpose. You don't park next to a sports car and not know that the guy has spend two times more than he needed for the cars looks and style ... so some low brow moron will intentionally slam their door into yours.

Just be careful because paybacks are a b!tch ...
