ONE FREAKING WEEK!!!!
That's all it took for some retard to open their door into my car and put a ding in it!!!!! ONE FREAKING WEEK!!!! :mad0260:
Couldn't I have at least had a month to make the first payment before the honeymoon was over? Is That just too much to ask retards? :paddle: |

Sorry.. Don't mean to make light of it... But it's hell out there... |
I'm so sorry to hear that. I just got my FR-S yesterday and I'm knocking on every piece of wood I see!
|
happened to me except my first week involved rock chips on the hood close to the windshield and then about 2 weeks later someone door dinged me.
|
I know how you feel. The first week I had my car a rock or something flew up and dented my hood then bounced up and put a small chip in my windshield.
|
That's why I'm paranoid regarding where I park. Even there though, sometimes shit just happens, like fucking rock chips on the highway.
|
People are really careless I swear. I hope this doesn't happen to you anymore.

A good PDR shop can have it out in a blink of an eye.

I'm crazy and decided to keep my old car, it's not worth anything but it's still reliable. You should see how many door dings the old girl has copped in 20+ years, people are so thoughtless. So now, guess which car goes to the shops? It's weird having to pick which car to take depending what's on the agenda each day - first world problems huh? :-)

If you thought door dings were a problem, wait until you give a friendly wave to a fellow 86/BRZ driver - while you're driving your old beater! I take the old girl to work twice a week to keep the miles down on the 86, and last week in a somewhat tired state I gave the wave to a red 86 at the lights. The dude gave me a half-hearted/confused wave back which proves how awesome and personable us twin owners are, but he must have been wondering double-u- tee-eff. I was so embarrassed...

Try running over a tire cap on the expressway the first month of owning it.... I did... scratched it to hell. Those scratches aren't coming out either. I parked too close to the side door on the house and the screen blew back and hit the passenger door. Pissed me off! I used some scratch x 2.0 and it buffed right out! That stuff is amazing! Sorry for your ding man, hopefully you can find a good shop to remove it without too much hassle.
|
Had three door dings before I decided to get these, already prevented 1 more (although it did put a tiny chip in the trim.

i had to drive through an unexpected hail storm after owning it for less than a month, broke that crappy water color Japanese paint in pretty quickly haha
|
Same here bro. Had mine for 2 weeks and drove it to school. Came out 2 hours later, ding on the passenger door. 5 months later I have 3 dings and the passenger door and a scuff on the pass. mirror.
|
Mine took 6 days before something fell on the hood and left a dent.
Two options: get over it (I couldn't) or get a PDR guy to come out. I paid $100 and the dent was gone. Well worth your sanity. |
Less than 24 hours of ownership and some mother fucker decided to push a shopping cart into the passengerside mirror and scuffed it up. Thankfully a detailer was able to make it almost invisible.
Last Friday some fucker in some rusted out shitbox truck or suv did a hit'n'run job on my rear bumper. |
|
Didnt think much about it when this chick got out of the car and I heard the door hit my rear fender. Couple days later, I noticed a small dent with no paint damage on the area. Pretty sure it was from that. This happened before I hit 1k miles.:mad0260:
Now that the 1st dent, chip and scratch are out of the way, I can enjoy driving my BRZ hard and not worry about it. I still park further away or park next to nicer cars when I'm out. |

Remember, the first ding is the most painful. You could keep your car in the garage and just allow yourself and close loved ones get near it ...... but wait, that may not work! The first week we had our car, my wife inflicted the first ding (with her car door) and I inflicted the second ding, with a Rubbermaid trash can.....http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/sigh.gif Like suggested above, just get a PDR dude to tap it out and move on to enjoy your new car .... :) humfrz |
Thanks crew. I just had to vent. This is the first brand new car I've bought since 1997 and I just really wanted to enjoy it on that new honeymoon phase. I usually buy 2 year old cars with under 30K miles so I don't worry about minor dings and such. But I just had to go get this one new. I do love it. :thumbup:
|
noo! I had an 04 EP3 and like every time i went out to the car there was a new ding lol. I have 13k miles on my FR-S and not a single door ding(knock on wood)
|
Are we driving the same car?

By the way..... Cool cry baby fit bro. :w00t: |
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.

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. |
im so afraid of scratches
i usually walk a long ways to my destination |

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 |

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. |
