alex 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) that sucks dude, my mates joke around saying they accidently scratched my car, in return they get a good laugh cause needless to say i get a little worried, i'd kill them if it happened for real.

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 People that suck: Touch Parkers Fat People that Park to close to you People that hit you Unfortunatly you cannot avoid any of the above. At one point in time or another everyone will have this happen to them. Most of the time the above named a rich enough to cough up or have insurance that will. If you know who did it hit them up about it anyway. They are the ones that will have to claim. Its their fault after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SKT174 1 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 I always park my car where it's far from the building entrance if possible, BUT the funny thing is that I found no matter WHERE I parked, when I finish shopping and what not, there is ALWAYS a goddamn car beside me ! There are heaps of parking space BUT no, it has to park right next to me as if BMW has a giant magnet to attract cars .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antony 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 haha, i park next to nice/new cars becuase the owners will have insurance, and generally would take more care with opening/closing doors and trolleys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 Another reason not to waste money at the casino Its an investment. Wow i actually thought Sky City would be one of the safer parks, for theft anyway. Think you guys have it bad. Subaru doors are made of tin foil, if you breathe on them too close you get those horrible ripples. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpp 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 I'm always coming home with new dings and marks on my bumper! If I had a new paint job I think I'd only park in handicap spaces or next to new/freshly painted cars. Plus making sure not to park next to family movers!
