yea i hear ya on the advice. the most recent ding i got was by a 2 door car. i was backed in and the door hit the corner of my fender. Well, ive had 2 previous cars and had about 4 dings total over 3 years. I think people just hate that they cant own the cars that we have. I do follow your tips a good amount of the time. Right now, i want to go out and ding a few cars up and see how they feel. haha. its late, i should be goin to bed.
