Door dings

[Stierzy34]

I have/ had the body molding on my WRX and it keeps door dings off very well. Wish there was something that I could put on the BRZ and would look good. I hate door dings. I mean, its not that difficult to get out oif your car without being so blind to other vehicles. Then again, some people just do not care.

There's a $465 Modellista door moulding that might do the job, but from the pics, I think it's mounted too low to make a difference.

Now watch some elderly and some really obese people get out of their cars. For some reason some people that fall into these categories seem entitled to throw open their doors like they are escaping a fire on their passenger seat. I'm assuming its because they have trouble getting out of their cars and don't feel like being bothered with the door. So they just throw it open not caring about what they damage. I've seen this all too often.

That lady in the Accord was trying to create more space for her to come out from her car.
I always park farthest away from any entrance, if people are too lazy to walk few meters then I am sure those people will not respect other people's property.

Hmmm those body moldings actually look good on the car but I am afraid the top of the door bulge would take the hit before the molding

Like can barely walk. Like instead of opening the door like a normal person I'm going to kick it open as hard as I can so the door opens and stays open. I've even seen some like this do it intentionally. I used to work with a woman that would brag about this. She used to say if the car next to her didnt give her fat ass room to get out she would make room. Her words not mine. A very disgusting person and I don't mean her weight I mean her crappy attitude.

Her fat ass needs to learn how to drive instead of expecting others to bend to her will. She's in for a rude awakening. Also being overweight is not a disease, it's because the person does not care/has no self control. She has a condition that she herself caused. This is why I hate fat people, they are so pathetic and stupid that she probably blame others for their issue. I'm fat too and I'll tell you right now that I caused it but I'm working on losing. Moderation is key.

I don't have the time ATM to post the link, but there are magnetic stips of rubber/plastic you can stick on any part of your door to prevent door dings. The bad part are as follows:

1. Thieves will steal it
2. It leaves marks on your clear coat/paint
3. Idiots will find the exact part not protected by it and will still cause a door ding

I used this product on several of my BMW's which had those huge Bangel concave/convex side pieces. Worked for the most part, but got tired of people stealing them. They cost around a $100 per pair IIRC.

Just remember, we've put a man on the moon, explored the depth of space and oceans, but we still can't fix stupid. Until they solve that riddle you will most certainly expect people to give you door dings and every unknown event to drive you absolutely insane.

On the bright side, I've got a door ding too right in the center of my passenger side door. It drives me nuts, but I try not to think about it. And I know that as soon as I have it fixed another one will be waiting to take it's place. Again, we have decoded DNA and have mapped the stars, but still can't fix stupid... :happy0180:

Good luck man. Diet is key. Probably 80% of you results will be from diet. Seriously good luck. :happy0180:

Moderation is a diet, per se. You can eat the good stuff and still lose weight, just eat less of it. I don't even like candy much or french fries. About 10 years ago I drank a ton of water and lost a bunch of weight. The summer makes that easier to accomplish. I love my Brita water bottles and pitchers, they filter out the excess chlorine and other stuff that makes tap water stink and taste funny. They however do not filter the beneficial fluoride in tap water which is good. Sorry about the off topic stuff.

The 2 guys entered the market.

This kid was curious, he came toward the car to see it. It was such a beautiful car

This kid think "Hmm....these Jerks have the money to purchase a brand new car, and is sissy to park the car this far. Come to think about it, Is there any car in Daily use which has never had a Door Ding, or Scratch ?"

This kid took out the key, and decided to do a Key Scratch A long the Side of the Passenger car.

This kid took a picture in his cell phone.

This kid was proud to piss another man off.

This kid pulled out the paper and wrote "Car Dings, and Dents, and Scratches are the Inevitable, Please don't be a sissy"


***Disclaimer*** This was a story from a movie I watched, which I have forgot the name. But it is interesting enough to tell

ohh it's real in NYC lol and no matter how you park in new york you WILL sell a ding or whatever with your car. 2nd day bump is gone LOL! even with a bumper protector, you'll bump still gone lmao!! I saw a car with a huge bumper protector and his bumper is like dent and scratch on the side. and my gf don't like the car and she put a ding on my car XD just to piss me of for buying a small car lol but I am not mad because either way other people will get a ding on the car. so might as well let your gf do it hahah
