Angry Who elses car is a dent magnet!?

alright just as the title says, who elses car is a dent magnet. lol my 2.4 is possibly one of the worst in the world. every time i turn around there is another dent in it, either from shopping carts or dumb ass people opening there car doors into me. i cant stand it! From everyone elses point of view there like "its barely noticable" or "get over it" .... the thing is us car guys cant get over it and we notice everything about our cars, good or bad. i was just wanting to see if anyone else has this problem.

I got you all beat:

+Dent from kid's bike handle over driver side rear wheel (fixed)
+Scratched up front bumper from guy on bicycle that pulled out in front of me (fixed)
+Dented scratched rear bumper when mom moved car for street sweeper night while i was at AIT and decided to park in a spot too small for the car and "bumped the guy behind me who had a front mounted license plate with rusted hexagon screws. (fixed
+Fucked up front bumper because i took an S-turn too fast and hit an embankment (fixed)
+Driver side rear wheel fender dented, scratched and also a broken reflector (claim filed yesterday)

**the first happened the summer i first got it. The last 4 all happened since I got back from AIT in AUGUST! (4 months)... that's at least one a month

been pretty luck so far dent wise, someone backed into my car in a parking lot though, when i came back to my car, the front plate was all mangled, but no damage to the car. but i mean, the plate was mangled, how fast are people pulling into parking spaces??

Mine has 2 pretty nasty ones...one from a car door at walmart, and one from a friend opening the door and letting the wind catch it.

Sucks to see a brand new car with dents all over it.

my car is a **** flying down the freeway magnet! in the past 6 months i have hit a bumper that fell off a car, a german shepard, and a tire tred from a semi... i was unable to avoid all of these because they were all at night and i didnt want to swerve and hit another car. then just this past monday while i was driving at 4am on my way outta town for work, i hit the biggest cardboard box ever that was taking up the whole middle lane of a 3 lane freeway! i swerved and didnt catch the whole box, but that made my rear end brake loose and that was a lil scary at 80 mph!

depends on how big and if painting will be needed. the one I mentioned that was from the kid's bicycle ( i think he fell sidways into it) was only a little bigger than a quarter and no paint was scratched. cindy rowe's auto glass repaired it for 100 bucks.

got a semi-crushed fender and scratches from an idiot kid skateboarding diagonally across an intersection when the traffic lights were green. luckily i saw him and stomped my brakes in time, or that kid would have been red decorations on my undercarriage. also important to note: I would have hit him if I had my stock brakes still. those things didn't stop worth a crap compared to the drilled rotor/Hawk HPS pad setup.

got some scratches on my park bench wing from my wife running our son's diaper bag across the endcap, and a few hairline scratches from the zipper on my jacket near the driver's door.

I didn't have problems with dents on my SS, but I had a few scratches. Had my trunk lid keyed and two scratches on the door.
