ONE FREAKING WEEK!!!!

[midnightfrolic]

I feel you OP. Before I made my first payment on my FRS, someone rear-ended me at a traffic light. Had to get the rear bumper replaced...I laughed it off. Can't live life being angry all the time, I'll die early.

It'll happen sooner or later if you drive your car. Not that big of a deal unless it's a huge ass dent. $30 to pop each door ding isn't too bad.

$30? Was quote $80 by the most popular PDR guys in houston, and that's for the smallest dent size.

I park my car in a parking garage for a very large auto insurance company. My last car had 5 dings in less than a year and half the building is CLAIMS reps!?!?!?!?!

So now I park my FRS in the furthest corner or the parking garage so I can park against a wall and keep my car as far from the other cars as possible.

You dont even want to know what going to the grocery store and mall is like.

Last week I had to go to work real early in the morning. Followed a cement truck that was spewing dust out of its ass for a good 5-6 miles. I was too tired to notice or care. Now I have a good layer of filth all over the front end and most of the hood. I look like a damn rally car!

i park farther away from vehicles or try and find an edge where only one car will be parking next to me so i'm less likely to get hit

but as for parking next to nicer looking cars, it's a myth. can't tell you how many times i've seen mercedes, bmw, lexus etc drivers that are careless and still swing their doors open into other cars.. idiots are still idiots.. it really doesn't matter what cars they drive

unless you can park next to a million dollar car where the drivers truely care about the looks of their vehicle.. but you might be circling around parking lots all day looking for them..lol

Do we really need a thread like this every week 'OMG I GOT A 1CM SCRATCH ON THE SUPER THIN POS PAINT!!!!!!!!!!!"

We get it. You love your car and now it isn't perfect aesthetically. Boo hoo. Nobody's is. We bought a driver's car, meaning we are going to drive the piss out of it and put miles on it and get dents, scratches, and scrapes. It happens. People are careless. It happens.

I'm just tired of the same threads over and over. Can we get a newb subforum yet for posts like this? It's new to them but it's been the same for over a year for many. It's this or my airbag light goes off when i put my phone on the seat or I JUST GOT MY FRS!!!!.

The main forum should be information pertinent to the whole community, like new car specs, event info, etc. A newb forum would be the correct place for stuff like this.

Post here if you have feedback on the idea

I'm going to be as nice as possible in reply to what you said on a PUBLIC FORUM.

1.) He didn't ask for any opinion or sympathy from anyone. He was simply venting.

2.) It's a car forum, where MOST of us post about our CAR. Get it? Some of us like to post about our experience with the car.

3.) No need to be a jerk to the OP, all you had to do was read it and move on, you didn't have to post anything.

If a posting on a forum bothers you this much that you had to reply with such a negative attitude, then please do us all a favor and delete your account.

Edit: I wasn't attacking you or trying to be a jerk, I just thought your whole comment was unnecessary when all you had to do was ignore the post.

OP I know how you feel. I got a door ding my first couple of weeks of owning the car. A good PDR shop fixed her right up for 80 bucks.

Thank you Logical for speaking what was on my mind.
Logical you are logical.

I could do a search but I don't see many people in this thread talking about clear bras?

Ugg... I'm about to trade in my cars for an asphalt FRS. I have an X MR now that has already saw rocks scratches and douchebags. Enough to make my heart sink. Am I making a good choice getting a new car?

I think I'll get a clear bra ASAP.

It'll be exactly the same for any new / used vehicle that's fresh to you.

Take the bus?

Yesterday I went out to my car in a mall parking lot in Salinas and there was ranch dressing all over my windshield.

I was only inside for about 15 minutes, I wish I could have caught the person doing it.
