don't you love it when you go to the store and it's packed, forcing you to park next to cars? I obviously do.. I got a ding on my rear fender edge! . and looks like someone leaned on my car with a key chain bc there's a small scratch on my passenger side fender.. let's not forget the vomit on my front bumper from some random drunk idiot who doesn't know when to stop drinking..

can't wait for better days with my tC2.., getting my rims back today from Alpha Powder Coats, and then a quick de-badge of the trunk and wash.., that should make me feel better..

how about you guys? any bad days for you guys so far with your tC2? more accurately, what were your FIRST dings? first ones hurt the most..

 

I remember my first door ding. And the first time I scraped my bumper, downpipe, side skirt, OEM lip. I could go on. If it's your daily, you better get used to it.

 

very much my daily, and it will soon not bother me.., but they ARE my FIRST dings.., so it hurts a bit.. ha.

 

Yeah when the car is new it ____es you off more.

 

My first stone chip ____ed me off a lot. Have a touch up stick to fix it, but still wish it wasn't there.

I also have a very small dent from someone opening their door into my front fender. I'll have that popped out come summer though as it bothers me.

It is annoying when others don't respect your property. A simple "sorry, I scratched/dented your car by accident" would be nice to see on your window. At least they acknowledge they wronged! But no one ever does.

 

My first blemish was self induced. Really wanted the rain spots off my car and didn't have time for a proper wash so I took it to an auto wash. Didn't get her lined up properly and royaly scuffed up the drivers front rim.

 

These are like horror stories! I have 5500 miles and still good with nothing but I live in a small town so grocery shop here and work in a big city where I park away from everyone. Hopefully it stays this way for at least a little while lol

 

I feel ya, I would of just turned up the stereo and tried not to think about it..

 

I walk half a mile when I go to Wal-Mart. My dealer offers free ding repairs, but hopefully I won't have to take them up on it anytime soon

 

First small ding on the front driver's-side fender shoveling snow away from my car two days ago UGH!!!!!

 

37 hours after buying my TC a seagull dropped a clam on the back of the car. Two days after that I managed to scratch the edge of the door with my key -- wonderfull.

That sucks...
Door ding sucks sooooo much because it's something that shouldn't happen if everyone is responsible.
I'm like stasis. I park far away. Stores with narrow parking means enough for me not to go to that store. The last door ding I got is 7 years ago and that happened when I parked in a narrow lot.

 

Car was 3 weeks old. A semi snuck up on me going 90+mph down hill on interstate. He blasted the front end with pecan size gravel.....2 chips in bumper, one in fender, and another on right headlight. Like said, it is a D.D. Still disgusts me when I see the spots.

 

I've had a nice penny sized star crack in my windshield thanks to a mack truck on the freeway since my second week owning the car. I don't have to look at it now with my iPhone mount base covering it atleast

 

Ugh, took another road trip this weekend. On my way to Texas, I got a chip in my windshield. By the time I actually arrived in Texas, chip had already turned into a 3 inch crack.

By the time I got back last night, it was over 7 inches. Oh well, should have it fixed by Thursday. Thank goodness for free windshield repair.

 

Do I win?

 

Ouch man grand prize right there

 

3 1/2 years with my ride and I only have two VERY minor door dings (have to really look for them to find them). Parking as far as possible is key to prevent door dings. People who park close are lazy and couldnt care less about damaging others property.

 

Tried that...the one idiot in the lot that day still found me and did what you see above...

 

That first door ding is always a horrible feeling.
