Okay... I'm at work since 6:00 this morning -- pretty stressful environment right now. I glance @ my clock & is says 1:15 -- so i'm thinkin' great time for a lunch break -- I'll just get in the stress reliever -- drive around the corner grab a bite & come back in a much better mood. Okay.. so I walk out to the parking lot & up a couple levels -- back in the corner is black beauty... as I walk up to her I press the unlock button on the key chain - I wapproach the driver side & extend my hand to open the door... and there it is... a freakin' door ding!! somebody pulled up beside me - got out of there car (or truck) & left me with a freakin' door ding. Needless to say I came back from lunch more stressed out than before I left.
Sorry so long - had to vent.

Man that stinks. Mine has not seen a parking lot other than the dealer's yet but I know I can only keep that streak going just so long. I hate parking lots too.

Friend of mine had a litte parking lot "rash" on his new 350Z. He took it to his dealer and they got it out with no problem. You can't even tell there was a ding.

I hate people with no regard for other people's possesions. I let my guard down one day and instead of parking my car all the way on the back of the shopping center lot, I parked closed, ran in for 5 minutes to pick something up and some tard had left a shopping cart right next to my rear bumper :bang: . I knew exactly what happened as soon as I saw it, lazy person didn't feel like putting the cart back right where it belongs, so it ran into my bumper and left a decent size scratch that till this day can still be seen. I always use scratch remover and wax to try and hide it, but it still there and to think that if people would just put their carts back where they belong or be more careful the next time they open and close their doors, then our ponies would be much safer.

Get some business cards made up and leave them on offenders car windshields.......
Thanks for your consideration when parking today, next time, perhaps you can leave a can opener so I can get in my vehicle

Avoiding dents and dings can be avoided, you must be vigilant and have an OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder)
I have had my GT 5 years and 52,900 miles and do not have a single ding from another car. Rock chips yeah, but not one ding.
You have to park away from people(malls/grocery stores) when you need to and know who is parking next to you at work. I have been known to cruise parking lots looking for "the spot"(I let the wife out at the door).
Its a pain, but I would worry otherwise. But, I'd rather walk a little ways than to have a ding.
