so far I have managed to keep my Zee in decent shape, aside from a few small rock chips (that do bug me but they aren't terribly noticeable YET.) But today I came out to find an SUV parked literally an inch or two off my front bumper. I actually got down and checked because I thought there would be no way he hadn't hit my car (and then maybe backed back up) but there was nothing there...but he certainly parked closer than H#LL to the front of my car!

maybe he has parking sensors, luckily :)

YES ... They bother me but, try not to think about it ... Everytime I bring it to get washed I wishfully think all the scratches or imperfections due to whatever reason will not be there after ... It's like the more you try to prevent it the more things happen. Either that or we just notice it more cause we're paying attention all the damn time. haha.. No worries it seems your not alone.

Haha, I'm almost as bad as you blink. Maybe I'm in the minority in this thread, but I don't think you should replace the whole bumper for a scratch. I've kind of come to learn that no matter what you do or how careful you are, something will always happen. It's just part of owning a car.

I do find it funny that the majority of th people complaining are MB owners (myself included).

Chips don't bug me that much. I'll fill them in as I see them.

If I got a door ding though, I think I might flip. I go out of my way to park away from people, but sometimes they're attracted to me no matter what I do.

I went to the gym the other day, and parked in a back corner with no other cars. I get done and I find an expedition sitting next to it so close that I could barely get in. WOMEN.

Oh..yea and a tiny hairline on the hatch. Thats just to name a few :( I blame it on the black paint since it shows everything; which is why I'm getting the car painted next month. I do know that all cars will have some kind of blemish but mine is crazy... no more parking next to anyone and no more car washes... needs to be done at home.
Paint it Brilliant Silver! You'll wash it half as often :tup:

And yes, never park next to ANYONE, they ALL suck.

I would hate to have scratches on a car, but with my truck there are pinstripes down both sides from brush during off road adventures. I kind of stopped worrying about it because it was inevitable.
