Door Dingers

[Cletonius]

I had a good body for a long time, then in a parking lot in California I got a huge door ding from a blue car right on the horizontal body line. No cars next to me when I came back. I wonder what people are thinking when they do it.

Same kind of thing happened to my Dakota, except it was in the middle of a wide flat body panel. I don't even know what kind of door would do only the tiny spot like it did.

Took to PDR and they told me to have it fixed by a regular body shop. The dent was deep enough where it created a pull in the body line 8+ inches above it. Ended up being a $1500 insurance claim. Fuckin assholes

They are thinking "did I just hit that car with my door?" "eh, oh well."

instead of retaliating in person and making a big scene, i decided to just shit on his company/him every chance i got telling the story to local people. hopefully, he lost business for it.

Google reviews would be a good way to get the news around. Most people read the reviews online and I think folks take them pretty seriously.

the owner of an automotive shop was examining my close-to-the-fender wide front tires, talking about aren't you worried about chipping the paint with rubbing, then proceeding to take his finger and check the lip and pulled off a big chip of paint! he didnt say sorry or anything just pretended like nothing happened.

grabbed a bolt and gave her door a 6" long scrape that went to the metal

Ruthless man

I like it

Because I didn't have the time that would require, and I hate filing claims.

At one point, I knew every scratch that my truck had.

There have been a few times that I noticed new dings and scrapes, and the paint left on my truck matched the car next to me and returned the favor x10.

The best is when I was leaving a store, I had got several text messages. When I got in my truck I started it and was reading them while it warmed up. Must have been atleast two minutes. Mind you, my truck is rather loud.

As soon as I start backing up, BOOM. I stop and then realize that the dumb bitch next to me had slung her door open hard enough to bounce off my truck twice. She threw her hands up like I had drawn my weapon on her (even though I didnt, must have been the look on my face) then she got out and quickly walked inside the store. No apology, nothing. I checked my fresh damage to my door, and grabbed a bolt and gave her door a 6" long scrape that went to the metal.

I havent even left the e30 in a public parking lot since I have painted it

Why wouldn't you simply get her insurance information and pursue it as a claim? I don't think it'd be any different than her backing into your car.

Just bought my 1988 325 with an immaculate body and paint, all original, and withing the last month I have received at least two dings, and I will park away from all the other cars...

the real question is, "what would you do if you see your door getting dings' intentionally"?

I had to parallel park my DB vert pretty close behind a newish acura with plastic bumpers next to my house. i was walking back from the store and was about to give him a few more inches to get out, that is until he backed into the front of my car. I just laughed and kept walking.

^this is what i said I do, it doesn't get people pissed at your shit if you park far out from any store entrance because nobody is trying to park furthur away from the door

Park like me from now on




This is the equivalent of fighting words!

I'm amazed this doesn't get you keyed/ticketed instantly in Chicago

Do people seriously cause dings intentionally? If so that is such a low life move...
