Reading this thread reminds me of when my GF and I had a 97 escort and parked next to this lady with a black sunfire? cobalt maybe?

Anyway, all along the rub strip of the passenger side of her car was small notches from our door hitting it.

The lady confronted me about it, I (like an ass) shrugged it off and told her that's what the strip was for...to protect her doors from damage. I further refused to pay for anything and never heard from her again

Well you're a royal fucking asshole. If someone opened their door into my bump strip I'd be pissed, if they did it repeatedly and not only refused to fix it, but basically said that 'that's why it's there and I should suck it up' I don't even know how I'd react.

Sounds like in retrospect you look back at that action and regret not being more empathetic to others. I note this as you called yourself an ass and seem to imply a sense of remorse. Rather than calling you an asshole I applaud your change in empathy for others and maturation. Please continue along this path if at all possible.

Lol i thought i had it bad. My neighbor ( an elderly man ) seems to love leaning on my car. It's very annoying coming home from a 45 minute car wash/wax sesh only to get finger prints all over the hood the next morning.

You would obviously try and write checks that your body cant cash.

Been there done that. I was a bit out of my weight class as you would be unless its an 85 lb asian girl (no disrespect).

I can still remember the stars that I saw.

Your lucky. I have a neighbor that really wants to be a guys guy and comes over and thinks he can bullshit with me in the garage whenever he wants. He is from ElSalvador and wears a belt buckle and carries a bunch of keys on a keyring that is mounted to his side (ala Security Guard stlye) . He then proceeds to lean over my drivers fender and look into my bay and tell me about the time he was in ElSalvador and had to replace a steering rack and it was extremely expensive cause they cant get the parts as easily as in the states. I immediately yelled and said , "no leaning on the ride".

Now every time he comes over he waves his hands over the top of the e30 like a magician and says oooohhh no leaning on the ride.

Im damned if I do and damned if I dont on that one. LOL

No, I'd never start a physical fight. That's not the right thing to do and it's definitely not gonna get anywhere in terms of fixing my car, whether I would win or lose.

[e30vert]

Its good not to start physically fights! Its better to end them! :)


I made that assumption based on your comment about not knowing how you would react. Usually that means someone has strong emotions and that can sometimes lead to an emotional reaction. This often manifests itself in a physical manner.

OP- Go with 2 Part Epoxy in the door seams as it should seal better than the gorilla glue.

Lmao, atleast you can say something. I feel guilty telling a grandpa to not lean on my car. But i'll admit, i'd rather have fingerprints on my car then door dings/ scratches.

Set up a camera. This is the only way.
Sure there are a bunch of way you can maybe get him to stop. But this is the only way to catch him with proof. Then you can present the proof to him when you confront him if he denies it, the police, and the insurance companies.

I'd probably try getting the police to make a report and force his insurance to pay for it, but I'm not sure if they'd bother with something so petty.
