Sometime, it's those rich bastards that simply don't care about their cars because they figure they can get a new one every 3 years. Most people that don't care about cars are: old people, women. I should be more specific when it comes to women because there are a few that take great care of their cars. Most just use it to go from Point A to Point B and could care less about maintenance and dings.

I already voted "Front Bumper Spoiler Damage From Parking Or Other", but I'm going to need to add "Other" in damaged in swerving to avoid a collision of a car spinning out directly at me, head on. $7000 damage--no structural damage, no hood damage, no headlight damage, no wheel or tire damage. No airbag deployment. Even the AFS and headlamp washers work. It was all in the bumper, radiator, fluid reservoirs, etc OEM parts replacement.

Very lucky.

Girls sometimes cry cause they know we are big suckers when they do something wrong. Damn, I am sucker for that **** too!

I can never stand a girl crying...

Anyways, can anyone recommend me the best clearbra that isn't going to be visible and will provide the best protection. And no I am not going to clearbra the entire damn car...

I got a deep inch-long scratch behind passenger door last week in NYC. It was bound to happen I guess, I drive and park in the NYC streets almost everyday. I was lucky to have come this far without one. (3 months)

A closer look at the Benz showed the car had dents, dings and scratches. Now I know why they don't care about other people cars they park next to.
Same thing happened to me. I parked literally a block away in an empty spot where no other cars were making sure that no way in hell anyone was going to park beside me. What do you know, as soon as I'm done shopping this white mercedes benz parks right beside me when there are 100 other spots closer to the entrance. There are literally empty spots everywhere, not another car around and this retarded lady decides to park right next to me. So I get mad as I'm coming out of the exit walking towards my car with a shopping cart. She's walking in, I guess she just parked her car as I was coming out. She see's me ragin, pushing the shopping cart towards her car. She must have sensed that I was upset, and she must have been worried that I was going to do something, because she just stood at the entrance with this worried look on her face watching me. I push the cart and let my hands off the handle and just as the cart was about to hit her car I stopped it by the handle. I wasn't going to ding her car, as I had control of the cart the whole time. But I must have scared the sh:t out of her and I bet she won't park like that ever again. She must have felt guilty for parking beside me, otherwise with a clear conscience she would have ignored me and walked right in the entrance. Its like the guy who sits right next to you on an empty bus.
