On June 4th, 2015 I sold my 1994 Honda Accord EX (cd7) and bought my 2002 Honda S2000. Since then I have unfortunately found minor dings where other people have let their car doors open into my car, and two small scuff marks on my rear bumper from people not being able to parallel park.
Those door dings and paint scuffs, while infuriating, are thankfully the only issues that I have had with street parking my car for the last 390 days.
Then, yesterday, after three hundred ninety days of ownership, it happened. Someone drove into my car.
I was following a 2013 Subaru Forester through a parking lot looking for a spot when the driver came to a stop, and so did I. After waiting for about five seconds, she shifted into reverse and proceeded to back that thang up directly in and onto my front bumper.
Thankfully no one was hurt and the cars were able to still be driven. We exchanged information and she took responsibility for the crash, but what irritates me is that she said “I didn’t see you.” I wanted to call her out for just saying that she went to reverse into a parking spot without checking any of her mirrors, and her reverse camera, and not hearing me honking at her before she hit me, but I didn’t. I am also thankful that her insurance found her at fault instead of saying “¯\_()_/¯.”
Circled in red is her reverse camera.
I wanted to do an ask me anything of sorts about 3 weeks after owning my S2000 for one full year but forgot.

Sorry that crap happened to you. My Honda Fit has been taking a beating from people throwing their doors open.
People suck.

Yup. That’s why when I was looking for an S2000, I wanted a higher mileage one that wasn’t perfect, so that, while yes I am upset at the dents and dings others have inflicted upon it. I am not nearly as mad as I would be if the car was showroom perfect.

I almost had that happen to me in a parking garage the other day. I was following a Ford Edge, they passed a spot, stopped, and the tried to reverse back to the spot, on our car was in the way. Thankfully there was enough time between their reverse lights coming on, and them moving, for me to beep my horn and let them know I was there.

The guy in the minivan who backed into me “didn’t see me” either. I didn't push the issue because I'd been hit several times in that car already but then spent a year expecting his insurance to claim I read-ended him. Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Daily driving a 2009 Forester, I can say there is absolutely no excuse for not seeing someone behind you, even without a backup camera.

At least you got lucky. I was honking as soon as she started backing up as well, and she didn’t stop.

Yeah there needs to be stricter driving enforcement and license requirements. Also, even though the lady seemed nice I was so nervous that she would lie to them claiming that I drove into her.

Sorry to hear about this man. I hope everything gets fixed up nicely, especially because SUZUKA BLUE.
I’ve almost been backed into numerous times in my Miata. Been hit and run in a parking lot twice now while I was away from the car.
People ALWAYS say “oh, your car is so low, I didn’t see you!”
I respond: “that means you wouldn’t have seen a small child or a runaway baby stroller either.”
That usually shuts them up pretty quickly.
