So i get my new tires on my car yesterday and decide to wash my car and clean the rims and tires. Got a nice lil dent in my fender where it looks like someone fell and caught their self with an elbow on my car. Fender is prolly gonna have to be replaced because it looks like the lower portion got bowed out a lil. Don't know how long its been there but ____es me off. I try not to park near anyone, but every now and then people park right up on you for no reason. O well ground effects need fixing too from being scraped so do it all at once i guess.

 

Sorry to hear it :/

I intentionally park out in the middle of parking lots, where no one is...and about 60% of the time, when I come back to my car someone has parked RIGHT next to me, in an open lot.

0_o

 

people are retarded. i always park at the highest point in a parking lot. just in case someone lets a cart go.

 

So true..

 

ouch i feel your pain! i make it a point to park as far away as possible.. i will die when i see the f1st scratch on my baby!

 

Was told once when you buy a new car the best thing/1st thing to do is to nick or ding it yourself. It'll hurt really bad, but all other dings and scratches won't hurt as much.

 

Lol. ____ I don't think parking at the back of the lot helps any cause I parked way out back and someone still creamed the side of my car and ran like they played bumper cars with my car and said haha and left no note or anything. The store would not even look at the vid tape of the camera that was one light pole away that was pointed at my car. I couldn't call the cops cause they don't do anything on private property but say yep a hit and run oh well. So I told the manager so I could buy a 100$ car and don't plate it or anything and play crash druby with the whole parking lot and u couldn't do anything about it lol. I didn't though would of been fun lol. That hit and run did 3000$ to fix everything on my 1st gen xb. So now I park close up front i dont care anymore cause they will hit you anywhere lol.

 

In a parking lot, I try to park on the far right of a row of cars with an end divider or some other obstacle to the right of me. Generally when another car parks to the left of me, there is no passenger and that puts the odds more in your favor avoiding door dings. Not fool proof of course.

 

Rude people in east TN have dented both of my Scions

 

I always try to park next to fixed up cars or dividers

 

No paint missing no scuff marks!!!!!!!!
Im gonna try to take care of it in jan, get a new fender and i want oem toyota parts. But my ground effects are scraped up too so might as well fix the side skirts while im at it.

 

Generally, as long as the paint isn't damaged, a PDR tech can return your car to original appearance and for a very reasonable price. Worth looking into !

 

I am seeing carbon fiber fenders in my future

 

After someone hit my front fender and dented the hell out of it, I now have a foolproof system.

When I park my car, I unroll barbed wire and set up a perimeter around the vehicle. A little yellow paint on it, too, so that no one accidentally bumps into it.

 

Sounds good, unfortunately, in the real world I'm not sure how effective it would be ! The demon in my world is those damned f'ing trees adjacent my driveway that drop f'ing bombs on my cars during the "Fall"! It's suggestive of a hailstorm, but occurs to me as much more personal than that !

 

yeah mine is going in for a full paintjob tomorrow,someone keyed it on halloween

 

^ boooo haters out there need to get a life. i've had several of my cars keyed, i feel your pain
