Door Dings

redondoaveb · 02-27-2018, 05:18 PM

I was parked at the store the other day in a spot that I thought was safe. When I came out there was a car parked next to me and the lady driving it flung the drivers door open, got out and flung the passenger door open. Both times without even caring that a car was parked next to her. Fortunately, I was parked far enough away from her car where her door missed my car. If her doors would have hit my car it would have put dents in it, not just a dings.

She walked behind my car right before I started backing out. When she did she got a 7500 rpm, supercharged, Fast Intentions exhaust blast right in her ear.

More dingable. Be defensive. Always.

Was following an SUV today with a sticker that brazenly/honestly stated:

"I HAVE KIDS
park too close
and I'll ding your ****!"

Most likely would happen the other way. They will park too closely next to me.

So far, on a long run of luck. Tons of miles in and I still don't have a door dink. I understand though, that it could be just a quick stop and run in for a coffee away.

Full disclosure > At the front end of 100k miles that's a whole nother issue...ALL of those chips, dents and welts are perfectly acceptable in my mind because they came from more than zero miles per hour.

Go defense!
