Couldn't agree more. From my personal experiences traveling to Europe, they are 10x the drivers that North Americans are. They are MUCH more attentive.

I completely agree... I just didn't wanna hijack the thread just to get on my soapbox again.

Truth is, once people get their license, they tend to forget everything they've learned.
Come to MA and sit at any rotary... you lose count of the morons who have no idea who has the right of way within seconds.
Look at any parking lot... nobody knows how to put their car between two stupid white lines.
And don't even get me started on the "JA's" who enter a highway at 25 mph.

could have been worse

That sir, should be punishable by death or dismemberment.

it breaks my heart to hear a story like this

^+10000

I have my first scratch after 18 months of ownership. No idea how it happened. As I walk up to the car and see the scratch I think... "I hate people."

Couldn't agree more x 1000000000000000000000000000000000000

Reading through Car and Driver and came across an ad for a product called Quixx care system. Looks like it may be able to solve your scratch problem.

i **** off my gf when we go to parking lots because i parkk wayyy in the back n i try n get the end spots so olny 1 side is exposed....she dosent understand how those lil door dings ruin the car

What a horror story. I am cringing as I dread the day I find a ding or scratch on my new G. Make sure you post a pic on how the repairs turn out. It'll be nice to know how you fixed it for future reference.

Every time I park my car in a parking lot when I return and both cars that were there when i parked haven't moved I thank the lord.

LOL!!! I know that exact feeling!!!

+1. Sometimes you just have no choice in parking. And sometimes parking spaces are very tight. I make a habit of watching how I open my doors when I get to my car to make sure I don't dent others. I wish other people would do the same.
