I used this one from Leatherz. Installed easily with 4 screws into the carpet. Apparently nothing punctured.

there were obvious "girlie" items in the car, so that might explain a lot.

This belies an immature or obnoxious attitude. Have you never been to a parking lot when there was only one tiny space to park, then later came out and found everyone else had left? That would make it look like you parked intentionally in a stupid location. If I ever saw someone dinging my car on purpose, they would be bruised and bleeding afterwards.

i never said i didn't have issues.

Dude if you park eight inches off someone elses vehicle you are asking for what you get. i parked where there were plenty of spots and when i came out 15 minutes later this broad had parked her car so close to mine that she would have had to squeeze out of her door and still hit my passenger door. my passenger had a hard time getting into the vehicle.

she was going to a tanning booth and apparently the heat had fried her brain. middle of the day, empty parking lot.

now, question is, did she do it on purpose? so in this case was she obnoxious or was she immature? stupid would be my guess.

Correct.


While parking too close to someone is quite rude, purposely dinging their vehicle is immature, criminal, and totally out of proportion to their offense.


There is Karma in the World, and if you have ever purposely damaged another person's vehicle simply because they parked too close to you, remember it when you someday find your own vehicle keyed by vandals for no apparent reason.

i respect Karma Penguin, for i have been keyed. then again, i have keyed.

personally, i go out of my way to respect others. when i do not recieve the same respect i give, well i guess i go into immature mode. Darwin is my idol. milk toast is for losers.

criminal? tough case to prove in court. out of proportion? how would one know what the first party intended? however assualt is generally easy to prove. now if your record is clean, i believe dealing out one ass-whooping could go away with just a fine. of course the civil suit might get ugly. all this over a car door.

truth be told, hopefully i never happen to park next to statdoc. that f****r is crazy.
