I've got some really bad stories sadly. I have to actually park on the street so I've been finding some good spots in my neighboor hood when I get the FRS.
Worst thing that happened to me so far was with my black 2 door Integra. I was parked on a residental street near BCIT while I was a student. Accross the street was someone's drive way.
I walked up to my car after class and noticed the front left fender looked a little strange. Like it wasn't installed properly or something. When I got closer I realized it was totally bent out of shape.
From what I can tell (hit and run victim), someone reversed into the front fender of my car and happened to place a large dent located between the front wheel and drivers door frame. The dent was so large that it actually bent the fender outwards to the point where when I attempted to open the drivers door, the front edge of the drivers door would be blocked by the tail edge of the now crumpled fender.
So for 3 months I had to get into and out of the car from the passenger side door. Climbing over the ebrake and shifter was horrible everyday. I started in the end to get into my car ala NASCAR style. If I was only gone for a few minutes I'd just leave the window down and climb in when I got back.
In the end, I had the car fixed for cheap by the guys at BCIT doing autobody. I had to buy them a fender but they did all the body work and paint for only about 100 bucks or so. They did a pretty good job also because I couldn't really see any paint differences.
