I don't care how old my cars are. I still get pretty upset when I find somebody has so much disregard for others as to dent somebody else's property.

Some annoying woman opened her door in to my car while i was in it at work, i confronted her and she got @rsey about it like it was a major inconveniece for her. It made for an interesting conversation, I told her not to get arsey with me and lose the aggression as she was at fault here. I then proceeded to rip in to her parking skills, she was diagonal in the space and she couldnt have avoided dunting my door because of her parking skills.

No damage was done to my car luckily but it made for a bad start to the day, i think i had calmed down by lunchtime.

Never. Door dings are unacceptable, no matter how old my cars are.

I stop caring about door ding after my 4th year of ownership (which means my cars are about 6 year old by then) and I even start using the car for city driving etc., and by this time I've moved on to another car.
Never,it cannot be excused.Have you noticed,when you park well away from others in a spot where you have to walk the furthest ,when you return someone has parked an absolute nail next to you,sometmes so close that you have to get in through the passenger door?
