Why are SUVs the only ones that cause damage to my car? Few months ago one left a pretty nice ding on my driverside door.

Today, another big ass SUV backed up into my driverside mirror(it folded inward) and door. Left a nice mark on both pieces, could be buffed out I think. Bitch left me a note on my windshield but I don't think I'll bother. I'll just buff it out myself.

Damn SUVs...

Oh well I'm looking at the brightside, atleast I didn't get messed up like Tbal...haha j/k man...

In the few months I have been driving, I have learned to park 23.76 miles away from the place you are going

I always park in the back of a lot, next to a curb or a wall, away from SUV's, and dreaded minivans

Hope you get everything nice and buffed out.

If she left a note and its more than a buff I'd call. Very rare that happens!

Yeah, kind of dumb of me to park on the edge. Thought I would avoid door dings by parking there haha.

She left me her name/number/plate#/make/model of her car(guess she's a good person)....I'll let her slide since damage isn't that bad.

I guess I'm gonna have to switch back to my old parking spot... next to a pillar, it's a bitch backing out of there.

Nah haven't buffed it yet...gonna try to do it up this weekend. Might polish whole car while I'm at it.

just glad there was no frame damage.

I'm done parking on the edge of a crowded parking garage, lesson learnt.

It buffed out in a few mins, can't even tell it was there if looking directly at the spot now. But when you look at an angle you can see a small dent. You have to look very closely standing from the front of the car.

The dent is very small but it still bothers me, any of you guys ever fix a small dent yourself? If so what method did you use? Thanks.
