ok so this morning i went to go get in my car and go for a drive with some friends... I was parked in my school's parking lot... well guess what i found.... a nice big dent!!!!!!!!!!!!

what the hell is wrong with people... the dent is on the passenger side rear tire well and is sizeable... and is already rusting! my car has 1500 miles on it and is already messed up!!!!! its probably gonna cost over $500 to repair it... ill keep you guys posted and put pics up when i can. i know its not as bad as some of the damage some of you guys have had... but still it sucks... how can people be so stupid/ inconsiderate! its ****ing bull shit!

all too common of a story. but no use in crying over it. suck it up. fix it and park in the back of the parking lot from now on

ha i hate kids at school always wanna **** with shit, its so ***, some girl supposedly kicked my car the other day but no dent or scratch, and ive realized the less you seem to like your car the less people want to mess with it

From what Ive noticed, when you park far away its almost like asking to get your car messed with.

Not only is it far from others that can be witnesses but its almost like saying "My car is the shit. I park far so people notice my car and its too good to park next to yours."

What I try to do is park next to handicapped spots. Most of these spots give wheel chair accessible vans at least an extra 10feet. Avoid parking when vans are parked there.
Spots with medians, park as close as you can to the curb (away from others)
Some may disagree but next to cart stations (people leave carts) The whole side of your car is guarded from cars and carts by polls. Leaves the rear more open though.

Just stay away from Wranglers. Their doors swing open uncontrollably.

yeah i dont think it was a door tho.... there are 2 tiny chips and a few scratches further down the car.... and i was parked in the middle of a bunch of open spaces... i really dont understand How i was hit. the good news is i found a honda recomended body shop near by with reasonable prices... i'm bringin it in for an estimate on tuse. but will have to wait untill next week at least to get the work done

Sorry to hear that. That sucks! People are rude when it comes to throwing their doors open. I always park in the WAAAAY back, and someone always seems to park right next to me...

pretty much the same thing happen to me, when i had my car for like less then a month... surprisingly my window didnt shatter but i did pay around $450 to get it fix

that sucks, man. i was terrified of getting my first door ding, then i got one, and was even more pissed off than i thought i would be, haha.

as far as parking reeeally far away goes, i do it when i'm able to. however, the last time i went to olive garden, i saw a jaguar parked diagonally over two spots in the very far back and i thought "man, is this guy asking for it."

Before I got my Fit I had a Civic. I went shopping one day and when I returned to my car there was a nice big dent near the passenger front wheelwell. Somebody had parked a bicycle next to my car and locked it to a street sign and it feel over. Bummer!

So far my Fit has only suffered small wounds from being hit from behind. No door dings (knock on ... Formica).

dude I know how you feel man.. I went to the movie at international drive in orlando and parked, i came back and had a nice dent on my fender i was ****ing heated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about your ride man. Unfortunately sometimes no matter how much you try, you still get shafted. I've had days where I park in the middle of nowhere, spaces everywhere, and what do I see when I come back? Ass hats parked really close next to me, with those same spaces available everywhere!

So you never know, retards are out there, unfortunately we have to share the world with them because its against the law to smack them. So we must live with them.

It's perfectly normal for a big dent to start rusting quickly because once the paint, primer and the galvanized coating on the steel break from being hit....the rusting process begins very quickly.

Hope you get it fixed quickly!

I've never been in this situation *knock on wood* so are you going to pay out of pocket or could your insurance cover it?

I park as close to the stores as possible.. right next to the handi spots even. Managed to avoid door dings so far :P Rock chips on the other hand.... I had one more like a rock dent/chip but got it pushed out with the rest of the hail damage I had. The worst are the gravel trucks who hit a bump in the road and a bunch of gravel comes flying off bouncing all over the highway.

Although it's kinda scary watching the 90 year old driving a rusting 86 lesabre or something come into the handi spot next to you with the widest slowest turn possible and still run over the curb.. and seem like they didn't even notice.
