On a serious note, if you actually witness the ding event, can you ask the other person for his/her license and insurance info? I mean, can this be treated just like any other accident where the other person is at fault?

NEVER EVER NO MATTER WHAT CAR IT IS, as long as it's MY CAR, door dings and scratches are never acceptable..
Now if I was driving a loaner or rental, then we're talking about a different story![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/rolleyes.gif)
Not even on the day I sell it could I even try to scratch my car. I sold a car the other day, and I felt like I couldn't let go of her. I saw my old RX300 around town once, didn't notice the plates right away but some "inner feeling" in me was telling me it was my old RX. As I went up to her, I noticed a S%*T-LOAD of dings, scratches and horrible, just HORRIBLE curb rashes (how is that even possible, it's an SUV with 16in rims!) and I was telling myself, "it cant be mine" but once I saw the plates (never changed, was still my original old one) I got goosebumps running all over me! I could never see any of my cars with dings or scratches.. It makes me sad or depressed if i ever see them all banged up (like I did when I saw my old RX300)
