Another Door Ding!! @ss-holes!! If another incosiderate ***-hole hits my car with their door, I will go ******* crazy! I saved up 9,000 dollars by the time I was 16 to put a down payment on one, and had to fork out another 6k for a loan, and intrest to pay it off. Sometimes I just think people do it on purpose, because they were lazy *** clowns while they were in high school, and couldn't afford a nice car, they have to slam their door into someone's car that worked their *** off every summer from 12 years old, worked 12 hour days 5 days a week (8 hour saturdays) the last two summers, and used 2k of graduation money just to pay off the loan and save for insurance. I know, I'm an idiot for buying an $15k sports car while in high school, but give me a break; take a bat to your own ******* car...
It's the second dent so far this semester, I usually parallel park, but they had it blocked off this week so I couldn't. I guess I'm just gonna wait till the end of the semester and get them takin out, just incase another jack off wants to ding it. Oh, sorry for the language, but there is no nice way for me to explain how I feel.
I think I'm gonna talk to the Dean and try to get a parking permit...

i feel your pain. i spend a lot of money to drive what i do, and i get the door dings to no end. it is just a good practice to not park anywhere in the vacinity of other people, but sometimes you have no choice. there is a bonus to parking out in "BFE", though. you get plenty of excersize and become strong walkers 
. i am going to have to dig into the wallet and get 3 door dings taken out.

Learned how to drywall when I was twelve. I hated staying in the house on summer break; my uncle has a drywall business, not hanging, but finishing. He taught me how to spot nails, and then srtipe them. It's more less the bitch work of drywall. It takes hours to do; striping the ceiling nails, and so forth, especially when there is so much more to be done. So, by the time I was 14 I was as fast as they were at doing it, and made 8 dollars an hour, cash without taxes; I've actually gotten to the point that it doesn't bother me. Now I can run circles around them, they pay me 10 when I come home on the weekends from college and need gas or insurance money. When I was sixteen before I bought the car, I worked at a grocery store after school for a whole year; I didn't spend a single check I made there. I would save up about five checks without cashing them, and put about 1k in the bank at a time. The biggest advantage to being young and working is that I could put all my money in the bank that I made. My parents paid for food, clothes and so forth.
Over ten years ago at this point...
the 2nd day of driving my 93 hardtop dark green Formula, I took dropped my lady off at work. She worked at Meijer so I parked a little ways out, went in and grabbed some cleaners and stuff.
Come out 15 minutes later and there's an off white Ford Fairmount parked beside me, way too close. I look down and bamn - an inch and a half of white paint smudged on my door and I can see my clear has been smeared off as well. No other cars around for about 10-15 spaces. Insane.
I look around, nobody. I open the Ford's door, and it swings right to the exact spot on my door, and there is green paint on that fuggers door.
At this point I come unglued. I wait about 20 minutes for the driver to come out... nothing. Wait another 15... nothing. At this point something snapped.
I got out some toothpicks and a sharpie. Don't ask but I actually do carry toothpicks for this reason. Proceeded to lock the car up (it wasn't locked) and jammed damn near half that box of toothpicks in the lock cylinders. No keys working for them. Then I wrote "Don't park by me because I'm a ***** who'll ding your doors" with the sharpie all the way across the windshield. Pulled 3 valve stems (can't fix that on the spot), and cut one tire in the sidewall - the cut tire being the actual costly damage in exchange for my paint.
I found out the next day that I was in about the only area of the lot the store cameras didn't "see". Upon retrospect I think it's more likely the manager just didn't like the guy who's car it was, because he worked there.
I have to say, this is the only time in my life I've ever damaged someone else's vehicle on purpose.
Then again, it was also the only time I've ever had undeniable proof of who did the damage.

When car headlights shine down the side of my car it seems as if I notice a new one everytime. Doesnt bother me to much but I have way more respect for other peoples rides then to do something like that.

That is just classic.... Sounds as if he did it on purpose too, since he went way out of the way to park right beside you... trying to bash someone's nice car cause he is in a fairlane...
and yes... BFE is bum ******' egypt ... get some comfortable boots is all I can say

That's what I'm talking about... I still havn't understood why people park there cars close to people when there are plenty more spots. I think I'm gonna invest some saved up change into some toothpicks. And every time I park in BFE and somebody decides to park next to me, I'm gonna go toothpick crazy.
When I park at school I always park in the underground garage, there are a few spaces that have a concrete support on BOTH sides, so no-one can park next to you. I will spend 15min driving around to get one of these spots... neeedless to say I'm late to class alot.

an old complex i used to live at had a field in the central area of the apartments. all the parking was situated around this field with the exceptions of a few spaces that were always taken. kids always played in the field. one day i came out to find a ding way too high up on my quarter panel to be from anyone's door. conveniently enough it was the exact same size and perfect circular shape as a softball. little bastards didn't even leave a note to apologize and i have no idea which ones did it. the Z was flawless up until that point.
