Angry I hate other car owners

No one in this world has any decency to be careful when they open their doors. I have some big scratches on my passenger side door that's the same height as the door handle. It had to have been from an SUV.

I always park at school towards the end spots and make sure I'm on the edge so the person in the second spot will have plenty of room. And it figures they park all crooked and come into my spot anyway.

I swear people have some nerve...

I wonder how location specific the problem is.

I bought my SVX when it was a nice round ten years old. The front end looked like the guy followed sand trucks for a living, but it had only two dings after a decade in Miami.

Now after two years on the Space Coast the front is still bad (I'm always planning to get it painted), but I've accumulated about 6 more dings - a couple high enough that it had to be a jacked up PU or SUV.

about all I can offer is a hope that their afterlife consists of somebody pinging on their head 24/7 with a ballpeen hammer..

I was at a Walmart one day, when I arrived the spot on my left was empty and I parked in the center of the space. When I came out there was this monsterous F250 or F350 super cab about six inched from my drivers door. Friggin' monster truck drivers that can't drive really bother me. I was so pissed (probably overreacted ) that I opened my door and slammed it as hard as I could into this brand new truck (still had dealer plates). I felt better afterwards BTW, I was driving a Grand Am and it didn't hurt my car....but the truck was another story.....wouldn't do that with my SVX.

My car gets dinged like hell at the college, no matter where i park.
the other place my car always gets dinged is the Ale House, a bar and restraunt. All i know is that no one seems to care, and it's usually the beaters that do it

I met the guy,

I was leaving the Giant Eagle, driving my very clean 89 GL10 Turbo, I stopped at the top of the driveway, waiting to take a right....I get rear ended by an 80 year old B@ST@RD!!!
I shut off the engine, pull up the parking brake, storm back to the back of the car. HE IS JUST SITTING THERE, STARING STRAIT AHEAD!!! He won't open the window, won't get out of the car, drifts back about a foot. The paints off the left side, the bumper is creased I WANT TO EAT HIS THROAT!!!





I was pretty sure I could take him.

I think the Toats hats constrict blood flow to the brain, and maybe "blue hair" is not a fashion choise, but a medical condition?

I'm lucky with my cars. I get to park my rx-7 in a giant compound that could hold about 200-250 cars, but as of right now, or ever, won't see more than about 50. My wife drives the camaro to school, and I'm so glad they have dent-resistant door panels. No matter how hard you hit the door with yours, it won't dent . I do have some red paint and some white paint permanently ground into the clearcoat though, from somebady really going at it

Haven't spent much time in TX but you may want to delete your post dude. Escalade drivers are not the most compassionate.
