Sorry everyone, time for a vent.............found a dent in the rt side fender on the '96 today, man how mad i feel - i've took great pride in all my bronco's keeping them up and only surface scratches from occasional hard 4x4ing BUT some idiot with no respect of anothers stuff put one on me today. Looks to be like a door got it - hard.

I will take two parking spaces wherever i go from now on - give me a ticket who cares

I need a '79 ford t'bird for a derby car - let me find you, i'll show you how to dent a fender

 

Nothing aggrevates me more than finding damage to a parked vehicle (one that I maintain at that). I will tend to park on corner spots with bankings. That way, I really only have half of my truck exposed to danger. I have even parked on the median things before.

As we speak, I have my '95 XLT at Fix-A-Dent (paintless), getting side panel (and door) dings taken out, about 10 of them. And I park way out there in the mall parking lot.

You have to wonder...do the people who do this sort of thing just not give a **** or are they so stupid that they don't realize what they have done.

My neighbors son has an escort wagon. He works at a local high tech firm with lots of young, highly paid fancy car drivin' engineering types. His car looks like it was used as a target on the driving range.

 

AMEN - I do also, I think it happened at work. I always park the drivers side more on the grass - corner spot. When i left for the day the space on right side of me was empty so............ It had to be a car with a door 2 miles long.

I'm in the process of reviewing v/s, I'll be cool when i address the pee-on

I wouldn't be so mad if done it say having fun, almost like a bully when the bronco is sitting alone in a parking lot when it can't defend itself
Anyway, two thats the way to go - or maybe 3

 

I once owned a brand new Dodge Ram pickup, a 99 (no Dodge jokes please, it's not relevant to the story). I did some mods to it and it was really nice. I had just detailed it and it was looking great.

It was Friday night and I took my then-wife out to eat. We were just about done when a guy comes to my table and says "do you have a red Dodge Ram?" I knew that this could not be good. He told me that someone (not him) just hit it. I'm mad, but I'm thinking "ok it's a caved in door, or the bed, it will be ok."

So I go outside, and my truck is up in the air, on a median, pushed about fifteen feet from where it was with a Ford Taurus underneath it. It's all twisted and bent. This is in Miami. There are about 50 people out there cops, etc. and everyone is yelling in Spanish (I am a white boy). I start freaking out and my wife pushes me back so I don't get in trouble. All of the sudden some guy runs up and sucker punches me in the face. I stumble, and get back up to hit him, and he pulls out a badge. I'm saying "what the hell?" and he says that I hit my wife! She and I and the witnesses are telling him that no such thing happened (I would never do that) but I get handcuffed and put in the back seat of a cop car! My wife called her father. who called a lawyer friend, who called the cops at the scene; and luckily one nice cop backed up the fact that I did not hit my wife or anything like that; and they let me out. My wife and her father and the lawyer wanted me to sue, but I never did.

It turns out that what happened was a lady (a non-english speaking, non-US citizen by the way) went into the drugstore and left the car running with her semi-retarded 11 year old daughter (who looked to be 20) in the car. The girl took the car for a ride and ended up slamming into the side of my Ram at over 40 mph. She was unhurt.

The moral of the story? I had parked the truck away from other cars, by itself in the parking lot to avoid door dings!

I doubt that anyone can top that parking lot story. It was a BAAAAD night.

 

I was in a walmart parking lot about a year ago and saw an older(60ish) couple getting in thier caddy the guy swings his door open and smashes the mirror on the car parked beside him his wife asks him how bad the damage is he looks at his door and says "no marks its OK" and they start to pull out so I walk up to his car and tap on his window, he rolls it down and I asked him if he was going to leave his phone number or something for the driver of the car whose mirror he just broke and this old geezer tells me to F@#k OFF rolls his window up and flips me the bird. I was so pissed I kicked his rear quarter as he pulled away. he stopped and said he was going to call the police on his car phone I said "good I'm sure the guy whose mirror you smashed would like that! I'll wait right here" so I leaned against his door and he peeled out nearly dropped me on my ***.lol
anyway somebody got his plate and put it under the wipper on the car he damaged. dont know what ever happened but I still laugh when I think of him flippin me the bird and the foot print I left in his rear panel
