Default my first open door ding!

Parked my black IS in a pay lot in downtown Atlanta.
Came back to find a nice little white scuff on my right rear door.
Scrapped off the white paint and found a nice little surprise of an indent in the door.

Man, did I want to key the white BMW parked next to me.

And I've only had the car for 9 days.

nothing like the damage erock901, dfw350, tqlla3k or carlost received, so I feel like a puss whining about it. but just thought I'd chime in!

Dings are easy if the paint isnt chipped. You can get it fixed for like $90 or so.

If you are me, then your torture continues. My car is going back into the body shop, the windsheild trim popped up and chipped my new fender(on the side closer to the windsheild).
