My Fault!

Ever get out of your car at a parking lot and "half"open your door as to not swing it into the car next to you and then when you get out the motion of the car swings

your door "full" open? Yep, I couldn't catch it and put a little chip on the edge of my door. I hit the the car next to me in the strongest part of the door handle so

nothing to the other vehicle anyway. I hate to say it...I have to though....The other car was so un kept even if I would of dinged it I doubt the owner would have

noticed. That's bad right?? I HATE parking lots!!!!

I have not had that happen. But I hate it when you park on the street and the curb is tall and the road angles on the sides and you passenger isnt careful and opens the door like usual and it slams into the concrete curb.

Or when getting the car, same situation as above, your passenger opens it carefully so it does not hit, or lets it rest on the grass and when you are all in the car the weight of us lowers the car just enough to get the door stuck to the curb or in the grass. The second one made me laugh when it first happened only because it got stuck in the grass.

This has the makings for a great thread on mishaps.

There's a silver lining to every cloud hand...at least it wasn't a friend or family member that was guilty of the chip. Then, you might be looking at them sideways whenever they get near your car.

I feel your pain. That's why we really hate to take our Black SVT Cobra anywhere near a parking lot. It was a garage queen for its first 15 years when we bought it so any new nick or scratch I agonize over how it got there and if I could have prevented it. But the reality is we enjoy driving it and it's not a museum piece. That's not why we bought it. BUT! , I totally understand obsessing about something like that. Bright side you didn't leave a door dent in either car. That would have been much worse. Spiney-Dave

did you leave your name and number incase the owner of the vehicle noticed you hit his door? Even if it was the 103rd blemish to his car

It hit the strongest part of the door handle assembly on the other car so there was no mark .

Here's a novel one. New SUV less than two weeks old on kid pickup. Another kids is throwing a plastic water bottle in the air and catching it when it clips a branch, and flings off and hits the c pillar. Bottle full of water puts a nice shallow dent in the metal.

Bloody punk then says, it's only a car. Snot nosed 7 year old.
