Combating Parking Dings
- Thread starter daddycool
- Start date
It doesn't matter what car it is. We spend a lot of money on our cars and they are our property and respect should be shown to anyones property, be it a car, house or anything.
Absolutely mate. But parking over two spaces isn't the answer
Your point is?

That makes it alright then.
There's never any excuse to door another car regardless of cost. The thing is, even high rollers wouldn't do it to a Nova. TBH when you consider that some people will happily run out into the path of an F1 car, it's not so surprising that they they will swing their car door into yours without realising.
The only way you can combat parking dings is to be lucky and cautious. Taking up two spaces is cuntish BTW. Makes you look like a needy prick. Leave the car at home if it's that special.

was sat in a tesco car park earlier. just waiting for my mum to grab a few things.
and a brand new Fiesta pulls up along side. Bang. swings his door into my car. i litteraly thought of this tread as it happend. stormed out of my car
and said. kinda rudely tbh. " what the F**K you gona do about that ?" after about 5 minutes of arguing ive happily waled away 30 quid up
so hopefully get it pulled out sometime soon.

Quite shocking really. It's not like they even give it a thought. There is literally a thought process missing. They do not care. They don't think about it when they open their door. They don't even notice if it hits another car. They should be killed. It's a wonder they don't forget to breathe.
That was obviously back in the day when parents brought their children up properly.

i dread leaving cars in car parks. one of my work colleagues recently had a ding pulled out of his beemer, it looked like geoff capes had two-handed the door open. it was frickin massive. he is a car nut too and was mega pissed, as i would be if it happened to me.
its toddlers and small children than are the worst tbh. jumping out of the car using the door as a swing, it makes me shudder just to see it. The only time i've come close to this i eyeballed mummy through the glass with such a look she took the kid out of the driver side
oh and JCC - loving your work here
"I also always take up two spaces when I park, anybody who doesn't like it can kiss my hairy Scottish balls."
If i can i'll always park miles away from others. Oddly enough i find that despite having an entire bloody car park to choose from some nugget will invariably pick the space next to you though.
I agree that its basically a lack of respect though. This "its only a car" thing doesn't wash. Would you say "its only a garden" if i curled out a steamer on your front lawn because it was closer than the public bog?

The 'it's only a 5k Clio' was only referring to the taking up two spaces issue. There's no need for it. I'd agree that toddlers are probably the main offenders for wanging their doors open...but I don't think their mums are any better. Mom's on the school run are some of the worst drivers out there. These are the same people who happily park over zig-zag lines outside the very school their child attends.
Mom...?
regardless of cost of the car, if it's your pride and joy why should you have to tolerate the general public (cretins i might add) ruining your property!

I park on an end, tbh (not gay).
I have been known to park over 2 spaces before too. I know it's cuntish, and I've received plenty scowls about it too, but I paid for my car with my own hard-earned, so don't see why I should have to suffer some t**t in his financed / company car nailing the side of mine because he/she's too fat, lazy and disrespectful of other's property to care. I've got 2 very oddly-placed dings on my drivers-side door to attest to that too
