Parking and Dents....
« on: 30 April 2013, 11:31 »
I don't know about anyone else, but leaving my car in a car park worries the crap out of me.  Most of the time i end up in car parks that have plenty of spaces - Sainsburys in the evening after work.  But there are times when you just have to find a space in Multistories or "Airport Carparks  :angry:"

I just picked my folks up from the Airport this morning and had to find a space, the spaces were not very generous and i had to live with one that wasnt to my liking  :rolleyes:

Anyway the car that was parked next to me had gone when i got back and there is now a small parking dent in my door, i am sure it wasnt there earlier?  I know you have to just park up sometimes and that's life but it's still bloody frustrating... People just don't seem to care anymore  :angry:

Rant over.

Wherever possible I park in an empty section of the car park and usually take up 2 spaces. Obviously if the car park is small/busy this is not possible so I try to park next to the most expensive car I can see instead :grin:

I do the same apart from parking in a double space  :wink:

I park nearer the more expensive cars and NEVER next to a people/carrier car with 'Kid on board' stickers/hanging thingies.

I take advantage of this. Other people dont give 2 fu*ks about other peoples properties. Today i found a nice scratch on the drivers rear quarter panel. Nice!
Junkies leaning on car. Kids playing footie on the road when there is a park liturally 2 mins walk. P1sses me right off. Car should be allowed to electrocute anyone who touches it

I feel exactly the same. Should we all group together and make a parking gazebo to throw up over ur car Put like a bio chemical sign on it or something no one would want to park next to that lol

All it needs is for all the enthusiasts that are on forums to display a sticker on the windscreen, bright colour so its visible indicating its safe to park next to them  :grin:

I feel like a Daily Mail reader outraged at the lack of consideration posting something this random, but it annoys the hell out of me. At least I have a friendly local PDR guy.

Hope you get it sorted.

i think half the time the people with more expensive cars will care far less about my cheapo vw than an "ordinary" car owner  would

Couldn't give a flying f**k.  It's a car - it's tin and rubber not flesh and bone.

A few dings ain't gonna make it drive any worse.

If your car is really SO important to you I suggest you lead quite an empty life: get over yourselves and grow up. 

People matter, cars are just things.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Dents and scratches can always be fixed.
