LOL was he connected to that trailer? I mean if he's towing a trailer I'd give him a free pass on taking up 4 spots and parking across them.

He was connected to the trailer. Not sure how parking was when he got there or how long he was even there, but the parking lot was pretty empty and he could have parked across a couple spots to allow cars to drive through the parking lot easily. Or if he's going to be there for a while, park the trailer, disconnect it, and park the truck in another spot. You can't see it in the photo, but there was a car parked next to me, which made getting out a bit trickier.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

How about these? BTW, the pic with me and the corolla, I was parked there first. I usually squeeze myself close to the pavement to reduce the risk of door dings, and he parked just on the yellow line.

Is it just me or does it reek of sweet irony that the truck is a fleet vehicle for a company named Environmental Packaging Technologies? He's obviously not very adept at packaging himself into a somewhat reasonable parking situation, nor does that truck look all that environmentally friendly

This is why I work hard at parking smart.
Some people think I'm obsessive for parking far away or looking for that "just right" spot that offers protection, but who wants to deal with crap like that when it's preventable, or you can at least reduce the likelihood of it happening with strategic parking.
Aside from the cost of the repair or your insurance deductible, you have to deal with the hassle of getting the estimate and the down time of the car's visit to the shop not to mention getting someone to pick you up and take you to and from the shop when you drop off and pick up your car.
Who's got time for that nonsense?

I did take precautions, I always park far away from everything that moves or against something... This time I parked against a wall leaving lots of space behind and on the other side of the car... and still.. sometimes you just can't avoid it

birdmanx1 · 10-05-2011, 08:28 AM

Not good, luckily it's not too bad.

The above was just a rant that had nothing to do with your parking.
Sucks you got bit. I'll be curious to know how your repair goes.

Sorry to see that man - luckily it isn't too bad. Just some sanding and a respray away. Think of it this way - you get shiny new clearcoat stronger than the one Nissan uses from the factory.

thanks guys. Yeah I see it as an excuse to get my wheels painted while the car is at the bodyshop hehe

Nooooooooooo Ron! Somebody door dinged my Nismo. Left a nice dent in my door and white mark, but I got the mark out myself. Just a dent now. But yours is probably a bit more expensive.
