This is a poll, just want to know how do we, as a car owner, react when our car gets its first ding?

 

Cry and stay in and out of public for a few days, then attempt to hunt down the bastard that did it.

 

^ +1 and then call my friend at the bodyshop

 

2 weeks after purchase, I know the azz (old fart who drives an elcamino) dinged my passenger side... right at the CREASE ! Well the crease has stayed. and not much i can do about it. just bite my tongue and bitch about it for the past two years

ding dr's work , however I'll just let the dealership take care of it when i trade it in

ppp

 

My first ding Involved backing into a pole at 15mph... didnt end well

 

scratches and dings abound!

as long as everything around them is polished to perfection, i'm happy

 

I got my first ding on the second day i brought the car home from the dealer. I was at the DMV and the parking lot was full, so i parked next to a 4 dr mercedes thinking they would be careful as well... needless to say, i came out and the mercedes was gone and i have a ding right above my right rear wheel well... i was fukcing pissed like no other and of course the g/f didnt understand why. Its still there to this day, its not as noticeable now that i have rock chips and minor scratches from the last year and a half.
-GP-

 

there are more rockchips than paint on my car

 

Last week I was tapped from behind by an old lady, I went ballistic! She had no idea that she had hit me and that her bumper was still touching mine. WTF are you doing? I said. Her mouth dropped in total confusion. She had no clue. I yelled at her and made her shed some tears (yes I felt bad aftwards). I noticed there was some minor scratches on my bumper that could be buffed out so I got her information and split. NO BODY MESSES WITH MY RIDE!!

When you can no longer judge how close you are to the car in front of you due to age or health reasons, it is time to stop driving.

Am I a bad person?

 

no,
but you should have called the G police and had her executed on the spot

 

I didnt find the one and only one I have until after the fact. Its right above the rear driver side wheel on the flared fender. Looks like a kid in an SUV opened the door and made contact with my car. Luckily its smaller than a quarter and isnt very deep. Only noticable from certain angles and certain lighting thankfully

 

i actually believe i made my first ding.

I dropped a socket wrench on the passanger fender when disconnecting the battery in the middle of the night

 

Somebody backed into my G the other day (At least I think that's what happened, two parallel scratches about 6" long on my rear bumper) At first I was really pissed but then remembered the body kit in my garage and that the bumper would be seeing some work anyways...

 

I got my first ding while driving home from the dealer just after I bought the G. I was driving down the street and heard a bang. Looked when I got home and saw a pretty bad ding in my rear passendger door.

I immediately got back in the car and drove back to the dealer and left my car at the body shop to be fixed.
