First off i know its a TRUCK, but this was new to me and the paint was pretty much flawless, i just washed and waxed this thing this past weekend and i knew every little paint chip that was on it and well NOW there is a new one thanks to some IGNORANT D BAG in a store parking lot, not much i can do about it other than use some touch up paint but it just irks me to know its there and will be reminded every time i see it on the passenger front door. even though its only the size of a pencil eraser, it sticks out like a sore thumb with the red metallic paint surrounding it!

 

That's why I drop the wife and kids off at the door and then park as far away from any other cars or cart returns as I can.

 

find the guy, beat him up, and fill the chip with his own blood... that should match, and make you feel better about it

 

Ditto!! Had the same thing happen to my truck but on the drivers door.

 

Some one needs to invent an inflatable bubble for trucks when parking in public lots.

I often leave an empty spot on both sides of me. Almost always I come back to find someone parked right next to me. Sometimes if they are too close accidents happen(LOL) cause I have plastic doors on one of my cars.

 

My #1 pet peeve. I park far away too because I've had that happen in the past. Pisses you off, that's for sure.

 

Yeah, i normally dont squeeze that beast into parking spaces and im not sure which store it happened at. My wife is the one who pointed it out to me but i knew it had just happened within the previous 2 store stops... but parking way out will be happening alot more if not always... just pisses me off with people and the lack of respect of other peoples property. Believe me if i had seen it before leaving the parking lot and noticed the potential car that caused it i would have waited and gotten their insurance information and my Blood was boiling LOL but too little too late now.

 

Well, at least you got it out of the way now. I've got an unblemished truck so it's a maddening wait for the first ding.

 

I guess i should feel lucky that there is NO DENT at all its really just the paint.....

 

How I feel your pain. 2 weeks after I bought my BMW, I had a shopping car ding on one of my doors. I almost turned green into full blown hulk mode when I saw it. My recommendation, go ahead and just take a sledge hammer and put a big dent in the truck to get it over with : )
