Door Dingers

[F34R]

I park as far away from the store as I can. Fat slobs do not like to walk. I still get keyed and dents from dick bags damaging my car. People ask why I have shitty paint? that is why, I do not give a fuck about it. My Uncle is a body man and amazing painter, I can have a paint job in a week if I wanted it.

That looks like a wide spot for use by vans with equipment for the disabled. Not seeing a handicap sign though, so... Not real smart to park there like that.

If it's not marked as a handicap space there isn't any reason to treat it as such.

In Lambo's situation, I would have parallel parked that bitch.

Good thing about the Rover. Someone blocks me in, I drive over the curb. Done that more than once.

Of course, someone parks close as shit to me, they get some British aluminum in their door. Carry on.

George is right. It takes a lot of force for this to happen. Check out this quick video of a R32 buddy touching my car with his door, it's not like a ding happens when the door touches, it happens when people swing that shit open.

I too have parked faaaaar away only to have someone park next to me. The only thing you can do is park close to the curb, but if it's a crazy big spot like lambo had, then just park crooked. People think BMW drivers are cocks anyway.

Longitudinally, hexagonally, or otherwise. 220, or 221 - what ever it takes.

Longitudinally?

Good 6" dent or so.

I'm calling bull on that. You can't put a 6" dent in a door. First off, most cars made since 1980(?) have a impact bar in the door. Second, most doors aren't 6" thick. And furthermore, you'd fold the door doing the damage in half before you got 6" in.

Nice try though. I'll assume it was more of a fish story.

(edit - I know- you say your buddy rolled his car forward or something - oh it was a 6 inch "long" dent.....meh....what ever)

I did this. This is what happened.





The asshole that did it even went as far to call me disrespectful... wtf?

Start carrying traffic cones, but in all seriousness that guy was a prick.

[enigmaticdream]

I purposely dented the shit out of some asshole's door when I was younger because they parked too close. Yes it was a douche move but my buddy didn't care that his door was used as a hammer. Good 6" dent or so.

I hate people who park in your parking spot because you are not centered. There is obviously a reason the person parked that way. Respect it.

My advice, far away and right corner spots will help minimize dings. 50% chance you're safe due to just a driver. It still doesn't protect you from the passengers on the right hand side.

[lambo]

I mostly did it for teh lulz I also didn't think people would be that dumb or care so little about other people's property. Lesson learned, though. It's a wonderful spot for working on your car, though.

I hate this, even though the exterior of my car is absolute trash.

Its more of the principle than the damage.

Say what you want, but I am one who doesnt hesitate to return the favor, slightly more vigorously, if necessary.

Lambo park side ways that will teach them

like when fat people kick their door open because their stomach is in the way to reach

Woa woa as a fat guy I dislike this statement, I tend to gracefully slide my self in and out of my car thank you :hitler:
But seriously my little lachssilber has a ton of door dings in it now community college kids just don't give a fuck about anyone else's cars I guess
