Sorry just have to vent... Some IDIOT put some massive deep scratches in my driver's side door. I think from a bag of some sort. This just sucks... is about 10-12 inches long too. Makes me sick to my stomach to look at it.

I don't want to worry you, but there's this creepy looking guy squatting next to your car on a rubber mat! I hope it gets fixed FAST and PAINLESSLY!!

Sorry Dude. Some girl backed into me in a parking lot. Later on she claimed that she was backing out and I swerved around her and she hit me. Luckily I got a police report in which she stated that I was stopped behind her and she backed into me. If I hadn't called the police, I would have had partial responsibility and my insurance rates would have gone up. Moral of the story, ALWAYS get a police report.

PS: It was just a door and a few internal parts. Repair totaled about $2600 which on our cars is basically a ding.

Very sorry to see that...hopefully it will be easily fixed. This is why I ALWAYS park way out beyond any cars. Does this mean you'll never get hit, no...but your chances get reduced big time. My '95 E34 was 13 years old and had exactly (2) dings.
