Door Dings

Ok so everyone knows that our cars, like many are prone to those nasty door dings...
So I decided to base my school paper on this topic.
It is a problem solution essay and I need solutions.

1. Seprate parking lots for people that care about their cars
2. Cameras monitoring parking lots, fines or tickets issued to violators
3. Install door stops on all vehicles
4. Wider parking spaces
5. "door ding" insurance

any CRAZY solution you can think of that might stop door dings would help (other than killing the f*cker that dented your car).

thanks :-)
boost on

Re: Door Dings

I hate it say it, but dosn't Saturn have ding-resistant doors? I have no idea if they work or not, but I have seen the commercial. One of the few times I will ever mention a Saturn, unless I am saying what a POS they are.

The separate parking lots thing won't work. Neither will the cameras, unless they have somebody that zooms them in whenever it looks like someone got hit. They just arn't accurate enough.

yes saturn do have that kind of future, I saw that tv commercial, I like option 3-5 alot, yes I do park far away, that what most people do around here anyway, park far and walk, it help your car and its helping you excersize ( good for your health )

Re: Door Dings

HAHAHA LMAO @ the door ding guard. Nobody in their right mind would buy that POS. 1) It's ugly as fuck 2) It probably would fall off 3) If someone sees that on your car, they are probably going to try harder to give you a door ding. Whoever invented that needs to be kicked square in the balls.

Re: Door Dings

I know a guy who professionally removes dents so i've never had to worry about it. PARK FAR FAR AWAY. We could all use the exercise anyway

What a fuckin moron. Yeah, the only way to not get door dings is to not drive your car. Even parking way away doesnt work. Some how, some fuck nut managed to put a dent square in the middle of where the trunk lid goes from horizontal to vertical on the Cavy. It annoys the hell out of me, its in such a bad spot.

I would leave a nice door ding in every single one of their cars, then they would know not to park next to me ever again.

Do that and if they ever see your car again, you will get more than door dings.

If that happened, I would carry a sledgehammer around with me everywhere I went. That's one of my biggest hatreds, is when people fuck around with your shit to get a little laugh out of it.
