How many dings do you have on your ride?

I had my for a month and its like a ding magnet!

This is the most unlucky black car I've ever owned. Already full of scratches... and my last two rides *350z and a Porsche Boxster S* were both black..

No dings yet but seriously.. This car is unlucky as hell.

1 scratch 2" long just to the left of my front emblem. 1 rock chip just above drivers light. 2 on bottom lip. 1 weird spec on my trunk I can't get off.

But who's counting.

What does the fox say?

I just make sure to park far away from everyone when I'm at work, and make sure to keep distance while driving. No scratches or dings after over a year with the car.

2 minor scratches and a freaking rock chip at the passenger corner my windshield that I get sad everytime I look at it

I really adjusted my following distance after getting this car. I don't want any nicks on the hood like I had on my Golf.

5.

Two on each front fender edge (Im assuming from chassis flex).
One on the roof from when I removed the Beatsonic sharkfin.
Two on each door below the door handle, from a shop opening the doors into the lift posts.

At risk of jinxing myself, no dings after 10 months.
But then again. I will not park in a plaza, mall, or anywhere else where the risks are high. Also, I seek out end parking spaces, and four door cars as their doors don't open as far. Paranoid for sure!

I had a couple on my hood and front. I was recently in an accident where a guy turned in front of me and he pretty much ripped my front bumper off. No frame damage and she's all fixed up so i'm back to 0 dings again

1 door ding in right rear fender
Scraped the bottom of my front bumper (not noticeable)
Few chips and scratches here n there.

Yeah I think parking far away helps. I do that and have no dings *knock on wood*.
