That is what I am doing when I do my shopping, leave my lady at the door to whatever place we go into and take my other lady to the "spot" so that she will remain untouched. I always use to do that and after the incident above I am even more careful now, but you figure 5 minutes run in and run out.

same thing happened to me several times... I left a lot of pretty foul mouthed notes in peoples windows.... when my boss tried to discipline me on my approach to the problem, she soon shut up when she found out the company was liable for problems in their parking lot. Perhaps your company's insurance will cover the damages. Our parking spaces were super narrow, so it was a frequent complaint.

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.
this is the reason my pony will never see a Wal-Mart parking lot -- That place is a car lovers worst nightmare. but you're right people take to take the attitude that if it's not their's -- they don't care.

It might be worth it to you to get a padded car cover? Just for use in the parking garage since its "secure".

That's why I take 2 parking spots everywhere I go..... go to the back of the lot and park down the middle of two spaces.....
Going to the back of the lot is good, but taking up two spaces can attract envious losers to mess with your ride.

The Ding Doctor (or whatever name, there are several) do wonders! I've used them a couple of times. If the paint isn't broken they can make it look like new again.
I have my first ding already also. :bang: :bang: But mine is on the fender. I don't know if that will work.

any help??

Feel sorry for you Lucky Lou! Had the same thing happen when I bought my new Ranger. Now that I got it fixed, I park well away from buildings and walk.

And O, No offence, but after that, you might want to change your avatar........ Lucky Lou ?????? :bang:

I already had to visit the Dent Doctor too. My son dropped a lid on the rear quarter panel of my car and put a small ding in it. Dent Doctor took it right out. $50

I always park way far away and walk. I really hate parking lots too. Good Luck! Dent Doctor should be able to take it right out easily and reasonable too.

The problem today is they paint the lines much narrower now for parking spaces. And when you park far away with a lot of empty spaces around you, guaranteed one time some a-hole will park his piece of crap next to you knowing full well why you parked where you did, just to p--- you off. :bang:

I hope so -- the only thing about it is that it's right smck dab in the middle of that upper contour on the driver side door. I always heard that when there was a dent in one of those - they would have to use bondo & repaint. I'm driving by the "dent doctor" tommorrow to see what he has to say. --- then we'll find out how "lucky" i really am.

I've always wanted to do that!!!....the problem is most of these idiots have cars that match their gray matter...a few more dings in their POS wouldn't even be noticed...god I wish people had to pass an intelligence test to get a driver's license!

Way to go man! I know two wrongs don't make a right, but I bet it sure felt good!

I'm always careful too, and I have like 5 paint marks on each of my two doors, and they are all white, wtf! (i have a DARK green accord) And the topper is this HUGE dent on my passenger door (thank God I don't have to look at it everyday), that was received in a Coco's parking lot, by some old Caddy driving SOB no doubt. Man the dent is right on a body line crease to so it totally f's up the lines on the passenger side. If I knew who did it......if I only knew.....

Lucky Lou, it sounds like your dent is in a similar location to mine, I need to do a dent doctor thing too, let us know how it goes, and how much it's gonna set you back!
