You disgusted me again, i wish i will never see you in person. Its like seeing some..... you know

ps. btw you still didnt get the point. are you sure you can read?
I got your point and i can read just fine. If dents and damage causes you this much stress, you should really re-consider driving all together and just take the bus.

It's obvious you've got major issues. Please seek psychiatric help. Or at the very least, find a hobby that doesn't involve u getting disgusted when conversing with others.

Off the top of my head, all new BMW, Audi, and Lexus (GS and IS) don't have them now.

even so, those strips on the side were the same colour as the car. that said when you hit a car with the door, you'll still make a slight scratch ( but you can rub it off ).

my dad always thought it was stupid to make those side strips the same color as the car. they should leave it the black/grey colour that were on cars 10 years ago.

I like to park beside cars that are more expensive than mine. Chances are they will be the ones paying extra attention not to hit me.

What an awful week! (so far) I found out on Monday that I didn't get the research grant I applied for. Then, I found out that I did terribly on my human physiology respiratory unit midterm exam. And now this! What a series of unfortunate events! Hopefully this would be the last crap for this week.
maybe it's because u like Flay Allster ;)

However, it doesnt matter if its an careless probably ignorance person with a rusty bucket OR a 8yrs child. What was done is wrong whether its a $2,000 damage or a $200 dent.

A person in this generation should be educated and have a better understanding to take responsibility of such action. If the parents see their kids do that, then its a good time to educate them. Being ignorance and not educating their kids is totally non acceptable. Go back to 17th century to live.

If i see my kids did that, i will have to teach them not to do that ever again. Otherwise, they may end up to be scum of the society. Its a basic standard of human being now.

I believe if everyone opens door carefully and takes responsibilty we wouldnt have " Oh well its the thing of owning a car, if not take a bus" standard of living.

Oh yeah blaming on the weather, claiming its an accident is totally ignorance. If you werent there, if you didnt open your door then there wouldnt be an ACCIDENT. Thats providing you're too weak to hold the door
amen.

Seriously though, I hit so many things with my tracker. And it was the smallest car too. I never hit a car as bad as that liberty, but I did hit a guys mountain bike one time. I was pulling into a spot at safeway and put my front end too far over the sidewalk. Pounded the guys mountain bike really hard and bent the front tire further then it was supposed to go (I assume). Thank god for reverse! And another time, also at safeway... we were pushing shopping carts with my tracker down a hill into a curb, and one of them flipped over the curb and bounced on top of a neon. Man it seemed like everything happened at safeway. So I sort of take offense when threads like this are started. Personally, I think anyone who gets this upset about a car is too materialistic. I think people who put dents in their cars are doing them a favor. The sooner they get that first dent, means the sooner they can loosen up and learn to not care anymore.
Hi there i cant afford a nice car so im going to make myself feel better by saying people that value their nice expensive possesions are petty. BTW you are a terrible driver and should have your license taken away. Threads like this shouldnt upset you, people like you should upset you.

In my parking space where I live, I park my car in its usual spot and there is this lady in a red Grand Am who always parks to the left of my car. The entire left side of my car is COVERED in door dings, many of them with red paint. The dings are on my front passenger door and on my passenger rear door because her kids swing the doors wide too.

I'd confront her about it, but you know... I'm married to her.

:razz:

Shh! don't ruin it for the average joe who actually WANTS the close spots so that they don't have to push their shopping carts full of groceries to their vehicle at the back of the lot, or have a stroller with kids who prefer the close spots. :lol:
