This is why I stay home on these days and shop on line now. The headache and people that are in such a rush that they forget to pay attn when parking, driving, or running you over in the store.

I feel your pain....I came out to a shopping cart resting against my car yesterday....it had obviously been pushed from a distance away cause my passenger side mirror was folded in. Luckily for my I was able to clean all of the scratch off minus a lil quarter inch spot. Still pisses my off though that people are too lazy to put take their shopping carts back into the store or park them in the lil caged area outside where they belong.

Sorry to hear your car doors. I went to Black Friday shopping and parked in shopping mall instead wal-mart or target.

I dunno, I think my black Friday was worse. Had my front lip ripped in half. Either way, looks like we both should have stayed home.

Yeah I saw that post, I would agree you had it worse than me. Now I hate Black Fridays.

Your Lexus dealer with have someone that can spray that and make it gone with out having to paint the entire door or blend it into the outer panels. My guess is probably $100 but they may do it FREE if you ask.
