Yea I feel you, happens to me too. Everytime it does, I inspect my car to make sure there are no door dings etc. Has not happened to me so far, but if it does, I'll make sure to return the favor x 3 .

These owners don't want your car to be lonely...you know that the cars talk s--t with each other while you are away.

I started backing into parking spaces at work in my SC because I love to look out the window at the front of my car when I'm bored. I've noticed about 80% of the employee cars around me back into their spots now. Too bad none of theirs looks as good.
