Certain cars are like children. You have to keep an eye out on them at all times. To many predators.

If your paint isn’t cracked pop them dents out with wires. Here in California we have Dent Pro they come to you takes like 20min to take out.

:tup: no dent is good news. scratch-x and foam pad should take care of that then. :D ("ding" usually means it's dented..wat you got is a scratch/scuff).

you need a dd if you're anal. :D i know my Z is not a ferarri or anything exotic, but i dont have the time to be fixing and worrying about wat stupid might do to my car while im out and about.

dd just makes my life a lot easier... and be able to carry kids in the back too which my Z can't do anyway.

Mitco39 05-22-2013 10:06 AM

Thats true, more of a scratch. Ding was not the right word, although im sure it will happen. This car attracts this people like flies to shiiii, I mean sugar. haha.

I do have a DD, but when summer is only around for so long I do try and get out in the car as much as I can. I usually weigh it before every trip, if I am going to someplace I know will be bad I will typically take the truck. But last night it was so nice out and I haven't drove the car for 4-5 days. haha.

I'm so buying these - for my garage at work. All the idiots and they way they park.

I'm not going to be sexist - but I've seen some people swing their doors way open so they can get their purses/bags out - followed by huge hips.

Just sayin...

I seriously lost weight after i got the Z. Sometimes i park so far that i forgot where i actully parked.

I need to call a good PDR guy. Some asshat in the parking garage at work left me a nice ding on the passenger door six weeks or so after I bought the car. I was so tempted to reciprocate, but he's the *******, not his car. It just didn't seem right.

Caught the offender
 
Many years ago I had a silver honda prelude. I used to work as a salesman for WHJJ which is a radio station. The company owned both HJJ and HJY.. HJJ was talk for older people ....and HJY was music for younger people.

One day I came out of work and discovered a deep gash in the side of my prelude caused by some clown opening the door and apparently banding my door several times.. I was pissed but what could I do..

A couple of weeks later I drove home on the other side of town to find my son in the house with his friends...The friend admitted to hitting the car and he showed up, driven by his mother, with money to fix car..

How did this happen?

It turns out that as I drove into my driveway, my son's friend saw the car and asked my son, "Does your father work for WHJY?" My son said "No" and asked why.. The kid said he was relieved because he had been in the HJY parking lot and opened his door hitting a car just like mine.. He said he got angry and hit it several times more.. At that point my son said, "my father does not work at HJY but he does work at HJJ and they have the same parking lot! It was my fathers car you hit!""

my son knew the kids mother.. and the kid showed up with the money..driven by his mother ..and gave the money to have it fixed....I took the money and told him he ought to be damn thankful for having a mother like he did even though he did no appreciate it at the time..

Can you believe this coincidence?? True story..

That sh*t looks hideous!!! :icon14: :roflpuke2:

I have a trick that has avoided car dings for the last 2 years and that is... not to line your car door up with the next car and make sure the cars you park next to aren't cars with long doors that open wide. It sounds crazy but I am very consistent about who and where I park.

Long doors are definitely something to look out for. But sometimes you cannot control who comes up and parks beside you. I usually look for vehicles that look like they are well taken care of, or other expensive cars. Which is what I did last night only to come out to some crap car parked next to mine.

True True.....sometimes when you park out you become a victim out of someones envy just because....:icon14:

Magnetic door protectors will not work on aluminum doors..

Also, PDR is also a bit more fun as a result of the aluminum. Its a plus when it comes to weight savings but they do dent really easily compared to normal sheet metal.

kenchan 05-22-2013 03:38 PM

yah, plus those things look gimicky... like a joke almost. :icon17:

arsehole will probably move the piece, ding your door, and place it back ontop of the ding. just to be funny.
