Tell her to park away from brick walls, other cars, etc. So no matter how far they open the door, it won't hit anything.

In inch gash on the edge, rear driver-side door.

She must have hit the wall bad to bring it to bare metal.

Wow that would make me mad. I like the ISF idea. But who knows they might pressure her to start taking the F out

Poor La la. She's no longer a virgin.

What happened to the Acura? I thought she was taking THAT to work.

Why can't you just say you're busy with the car now. You got a new position or job and need more commuting time..? You have important clients to pick up so you need 4 door sedan? (to her coworkers..)

At first, I thought your wife's co-worker accidentally damage your paint. But further you said they kinda take advantage of her, so I think there's a very high change they purposely brick-slam it. I mean... we're all adults here. Even my 2 nieces always open the side doors gently so they don't ding other people car.

My opinion, since your wife already got that attitude from her work place, she should go hard ball with those people. The more nice she remains, the deeper she'll suffer. And in case she can't handle the place, just quit and find another place.

I think its safe for your wife to just say "no" now. I mean she can say, the last time she drove people they slammed the door into a brick wall.

Now I am even more nervous lol. I came across this thread just after my wife took my car to work today...

She sent me this (iPhone) picture when she got there to calm my nerves:



At least she found a good spot!

Move the front seats all the way back and then disconnect the wiring harnesses. No adult can fit back there now! Tell them its yet another recall.

Ha Ha. I recognize the King and Queen in the background. Now you need to have your wife find the same spot on the floor beneath the rooftop. No sense having the sun and UV rays beating down on the car. I can just hear the conversation now. LOL...

You can also tell her to watch out for the pole and see what happens...LMAO!

couple things here. sounds like she's taking over your car. tell (or rather ask) that she drive her own car or you need to trade her car in.

don't know if she's going to drive her car, so when she drives for lunch, she needs to park really far away and make everyone walk. when they ask why, she can remind them of the last time and that it took $$ to repair. lay on some guilt and maybe that person will help to defray the cost!
