SERIOUSLY! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR WITH NOT EVEN 650 MILES ON IT. SON OF A BITCH! Maybe if they at least left a note saying sorry it would've been better, but still! I even park at back of the lot far away from all of the jdm/beater/Honda drivers to avoid such things like this happening. DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF THINGS, SERIOUSLY! It's too small of a dent to make a claim for, and by the time I got there, the person was already long gone. I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE! I'm have mixed feelings of anger, and I want to lay down, curl up in the fetal position and cry. :'(

AND then... when you tell a non-gearhead about happened... 92% of the time they'll say, "why does it matter? its just a car."

Someone dingined my car right on the body line, on an aluminum fender. No paintless dent repair place will try to fix it. I feel your anger.

What car? How bad is it? Don't worry about it. Cars are made to be driven, and accidents happen. It was bound to happen sometime. Don't stress about it too much.

Happened to me too. Right over the wheel well too. It is there, I will address it soon. Possible this summer most likely next summer. I had 1500 miles on mine when someone decided that this was a good idea.

Some kid did this to my car, while I was in it. She just stared me down and then walked away. I was like wtf? Not even a sorry?

I understand that, and trust me, I drive my car, but if I was to ding my one door, I wouldn't give a shit. But if someone else was to, then just leave........

Not that it's any consolation, but at least you got that painful first ding over with!

I would've chased after him if it left a mark. Unless it was on my minivan. That things pretty beaten up.

I will help you on your hunt for that person.

Well I baby my car, as I assume everybody else does. But it's only been a few weeks. I got the car on 1/12/14. I wouldn't mind if they car was a few years old, but this, this just sucks.

03/11/2014 at 18:34

Dude, bro hug. I got my front fender hit at a parking lot at 80 miles. Worst part is I didn't notice until the next day. Have a beer, or whatever helps you. I know the feeling, and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I am so PARANOID when I park. I will spend as long as it takes if I feel I am too close to someone's door, especially a driver door. My favorite, in a busy lot, is to park next to a car thats nose-in on my left and nose out on my right, chances are no doors will open near my door.

Singhjr96 > Lekker
03/11/2014 at 18:40

I'm too young to drink. I would work out which is what I normally do, but I have 3 A.P. classes, SAT's, and ACT's to worry about. I noticed it right away when I saw it when I got there. I swear, i'll say i'm a pretty safe driver(not the best), but I try my best not to cause accidents, But I now see why teens agers have such high insurance rates. I've almost gotten back into by others twice. Not even like into bumper, I mean like full on reverse t-bone backed into. Both time they got within about an inch of my car.

I try to park near the islands in lots so that only one side is exposed.

Lekker > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 18:42

It happens. You don't need to be teenager to be a moron or a bad driver. It just happens to be a fairly common combination. Studying might get your mind away from it for sure.

Singhjr96 > Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs
03/11/2014 at 18:42

I'm really paranoid too. I try and park far as possible away from other cars, or by teachers because adults often times have more sense.

Singhjr96 > willkinton247
03/11/2014 at 18:44

Worse part is I was one spot over from an island on my passenger side(it's on the passenger side), and at the very back of the lot. If I was on more spot over, this wouldn't of happened.

I hope that the violator finds this thread, becomes scared for his life, and moves to Guam. Oh, and pays $1,000 worth of damages to Singhjr96.

Singhjr96 > Lekker
03/11/2014 at 18:45

I agree, but I swear, i'm surrounded by bad drivers. I've almost had like 10 crashes (more like fender benders) in my schools parking lot just this year alone, none of them my fault. I'm just unlucky.

Lekker > jkm7680
03/11/2014 at 18:46

Lol yes. I believe the best payback is fear.

Lekker > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 18:47

No, you're just aware. Which is good. It'll save your life one day. Just rest assured that what you learn today will definitely help tomorrow. That sounds really cliche and all, but I mean. Shit I'm 23 and I learned crap when I was 17/18 that saved my life a few times. So yeah it sounds like an exaggeration, but little things matter. So good job at being a careful, informed and mature driver. It'll pay off :)

DetroitMuscle > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 18:54

I was stopped for a light in my new Challenger RT with 1000 miles when some jackass who was probably texting rammed the car behind me,sending it into the back bumper.But seriously,look into finding a paintless dent removal service.Some of those guys are outstanding.

deadpedal > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 18:58

I always joke that the first thing you should do with a new super shiny car is nick it up a bit. Just to get past this point where you hate the universe.

A few months ago, I picked up a gorgeous mint Mini with some sweet wheels. Maybe the third day I had it I nicked one of the wheels parallel parking.

Honestly, after the first minute of realizing I jacked up my perfect thing, I was actually relieved. It's bound to happen.

That being said, anyone else fucking my shit up is pretty damn deflating.

Singhjr96 > Lekker
03/11/2014 at 18:58

Ok this'll be a rant but sorry in advance, But I swear I just have bad karma, no matter what I do. Saved somebody's phone from getting jacked, got my door dinged. Gave somebody back their money they dropped($100 too), Rumor gets spread around about me. I return a lost iPhone(again) my phone gets jacked for a second time.

Singhjr96 > deadpedal

The wife's car got it's first at 300 miles... she almost burnt down the world when she saw it.

That's the right philosophy!

Lekker > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 19:10

Its called a test of patience and will. I let my best friend at the time live with me and my wife, I didn't ask him for a dime. Wanna know what he did? He stole 5k worth of crap from my apt. It happens unfortunately and it simply lets you value things more. You're just a good guy, and people hate good guys. Why? Because they can't find shit against them, so they make it up. Think of it this way, if they seriously couldn't come up with something about you that is true, what does that say about you? Its a praise sir.

AM3R > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 19:16

I feel you... First day of school some dick slammed his car door into my car and caused a huge chip on my door handle. It was deep and then he got pissed because his base model V6 camaro gift from mom and dad could have gotten damaged. My high school had assigned spaces, but ever since then I parked by these two enthusiasts I knew that drove an E36 and a really clean SRT-4. Luckily we were all at the farthest end of the lot. It sucked when it rained though lol.

03/11/2014 at 19:27

Had my new car two or three days (can't pinpoint it exactly) before someone decided to write with something that could scratch the paint (not a key) all over my passenger door. Such phrases as "I LOVE" and "I <3 U" as well as various designs were carved in it. Luckily, most of it buffed out to the point where you cannot really see it unless you know it's there, but if I ever find out who it is, they are buying me a new door.

 > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 19:30

And this is why I always park in the back of the lot with no other cars around.

03/11/2014 at 19:30

I hear ya loud and clear. That happened to me, after I replaced my quarter panel from someone ELSE backing into it.

Then my friend crashed my car. fuck this worllddddd

Google Paintless Dent Removal in your area. Will probably cost less than $50 to get out.

Manuél Ferrari > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 20:33

It wasn't me.

I haven't driven much today.

And I don't remember dinging anybody.

And I probably don't live by you.

Singhjr96 > Manuél Ferrari
03/11/2014 at 20:43

I never said it was you... But you're acting especially suspicous.

Where were you today at 1:50pm?*deep voice*

Manuél Ferrari > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 21:04

LOL

I was in the Gotham City subway at 1:50PM. It was packed and stinky

LIES!

Manuél Ferrari > Singhjr96

True, it was a lie.

I've never been in a subway.

I live in So Cal

Jayhawk Jake > Singhjr96

Could be worse. I had $8600 worth of hail damage less than a year after I bought my Kia.

In the same hailstorm a friend of mine had a Miata he bought 5 days earlier completely totalled.

Singhjr96 > Jayhawk Jake
03/11/2014 at 21:08

Wow, that sucks. We actually cleaned out our garage to make space for my car, so i'm not to worried about that. Plus where I live, hail doesn't get that big.

Jayhawk Jake > Singhjr96
03/11/2014 at 21:12

It was golf ball sized when it happened. There have been instances of bigger hail here though.

Singhjr96 > Jayhawk Jake
03/11/2014 at 21:13

The biggest i've seen it in seattle is like 5mm at most. It doesn't hail, it's more likely to snow here.

davedave1111 > shinsen
03/12/2014 at 09:45

Lots of petrolheads (including me and others round here) will say just the same thing. The odd ding is just ordinary wear and tear. It has no effect on the value of the car, although it's obvious that some people are OCD enough that they're bothered by their car's marred perfection; to me, it's like complaining about your tyres getting dirty or some such.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 15:35

Was there any security camera footage available or witness? Not sure about the U.S. but in the U.K. failure to stop at an accident or failure to leave details can be 6 months’ imprisonment / £5,000 fine / Discretionary disqualification, 5 -10 penalty points (12 and its an automatic driving ban. Now a ding though not serious in the whole scheme of things could still net the other driver 3 penalty points and a £60 fine not to mention he has to notify his insurance of any changes and they may cancel his policy/raise is excess for a claim or raise his premiums.

I hope its not too serious and can be panel beaten out or sucked out.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/12/2014 at 19:50

It's tiny, only about an 1.5-3 mm deep, but about a quarter wide. But it's right over the pillar so that makes it ALOT WORSE! It's not going to be easy getting that thing out. There are cameras, and the counselor said he's going to go over the video and look at it tonight. Hopefully we can identify whose car it is.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 19:57

Oooooow! I go mental if someone touches my car, never mind something so large (to me thats large, to others I know, its not even a thing). I hope its sorted soon.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/12/2014 at 20:01

it's very shallow, but it is wide. I just looked at a ruler, and since we use inches over here, I would like to revise and say its only about 1mm to 1.5mm deep. Still something that pissed me off. I've just let the anger build up and am hoping that I find out who it is so I can bitchslap the shit out of them if they don't pay for it. But anyways, It's 60 degrees out and I just washed my car so i'm feeling a little better.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 20:19

Its a good feeling getting the car done and having it look its best. My friend used to be 'a car is for getting from A to B'. Then I washed it for her one day and the look on her face was great and i've been doing her cars for the last two years now.

Best wishes for getting the ding sorted fella.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/12/2014 at 20:28

I hope your getting something from washing her cars, because that must be one serious friend zone if you don't.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 20:39

No I don't charge at all and she's married. She's just a work friend that likes a clean car.

Her old one.

her new one

I really enjoy doing it and have a Fiesta ST and a Focus ST to do on a regular basis plus mine.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/12/2014 at 20:55

I enjoy washing cars, as long as it is somebody's who is close to me. So I guess I can see where you're coming from. But I usually get some food if I help wash someones car. I don't ask, it's just sorta an obligated thing, since I do the same if someone helps me.

03/12/2014 at 21:39

I'm sorry this happened. I am absolutely OCD about scratches on my vehicle. I know exactly how you feel. Once I saw a guy key my car and the cops would not do anything about it. Good luck dealing with people. I personally find that a trip to the gym (with a punching bag) or the gun range helps calm me down.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 21:40

I usually politely refuse as I'd rather be getting on with the job at hand than stopping for coffee or lunch. I will pretty much clean anyones car (as long as they are not a-holes to other people that is, then I'll make my excuses and say no). Nothing like spending a day or two and seeing the finished results and the happy owner.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/12/2014 at 22:58

Wow, you really must be a nice guy huh?

Svend > Singhjr96
03/12/2014 at 23:15

Some say so. Lol. I'm not really a people person and would rather be doing something and have something to show for my time. Cleaning is a hobby, an expensive hobby, but an enjoyable one. I spend a lot of my time on detailingworld talking about cleaning cars when I'm not able to clean a car due to weather of time. Lol.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/13/2014 at 00:40

I don't have much money for all of those car care products and waxes. But I do my best to keep it clean.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/13/2014 at 00:58

Oh no, I don't do waxes. Its not me. I prefer sealants. There are some really cheap products out there now. Granted it can be as cheap or as expensive as you want to make it. The two main things I always suggest is a good shampoo and a good sealant to help protect the car as much as possible.
The main thing is the fact you look after your car. So many don't and its such a shame.

Singhjr96 > Svend
03/13/2014 at 01:15

Sealant, wax, same thing. lol. But Yeah agreed.

Svend > Singhjr96
03/13/2014 at 01:28

Lol. If you need anything fella. And you happen to check out detailingworld.co.uk just send me a message or post a thread and I'll see what I can do to help. My screen is 'svended'. I'll let you go fella, its not long hit 05:00GMT/UTC and I'm going to go rest my head on the pillow for a few years. Good talking to you, I hope the ding gets sorted to your satisfaction. Good night fella.

I worked at a body shop a while back and we had a woman come in who opened her door into another car so hard that it creased the edge of the door in. The edge of the door was bent in because of how hard she slammed I into another car. I never heard of the other car and its fate

Singhjr96 > Dsscats
06/10/2014 at 18:07

I would not liked to of seen the other car. Glad it wasn't mine.
