Damnit....i Got Keyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry this happened, and here's a tip that has allowed me to drive and park over 95k miles and over 5 years (just on THIS LS) without as much as a single door ding.

Unless you have absolutely, positively, NO choice whatsoever? Never park between ANYONE. 99% of the time I can find an end spot. That alone reduces the chance of getting a door ding by 50%. And usually, I park a good distance away from everyone, so I actually end up with NO one on either side. 0% chance of a door ding. A side benefit of my strategy? (besides slipping in some needed walking excersize) I never, ever end up getting into an argument with anyone over a parking space. Because in your case, even though you may have been in the right? You ended up losing. Period. End of story.

Also when parking on the end make sure you are next to the passenger side of the car since 99% of cars have 1 person in them. If you have to park next to someone do not park next to a 2 door car (very wide doors). I like minivans since the doors slide instead of swing.
 
I always try to park as far away as I can, Sometimes I won't even go into the store if I have to park inbetween people. Sorry to hear about you car, that really blows that some people are that ignorant. Really pulls on your heart strings when people do stuff like this to the things you own.

Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's Latino's
 
+1 on not parking next to 2 door vehicles. My grandfather taught me that. He's driven Lincolns for the past 25 years.

Minivans have their pros and cons. Yes they have sliding doors in the rear. But a Minivan normally equals mom driving plus more than one kid. Be careful parking on the passenger side of a minivan since there probably will be a 10 year old throwing that door open...
 
Yae I have a dent that I need to get out this week from a door hitting me at work. It is hard at times to avoid people parking next to you especially when at work and the entire parking lot fills up. I guess I need to find a corner spot.
 
Your comprehension is atrocious. You are giving an opinion on how the OTHER guys..the scratchers "should" have behaved. Im telling the original poster how he could have avoided his car being scratched in the first place, and can significantly reduce his chances of it happening again. Which is: Dont get into arguments over parking spaces..and if you do get into the argument? Dont leave your car unattended in said parking space.

But Im sure you still wont be able to comprehend.

Seriously man, STFU.
 
A while back, I was in a parking lot, and as I was walking in, I saw a similar ordeal over a parking space. An old lady in a caddy was waiting for a parking spot as someone was pulling out. They backed out the wrong way, cutting her off. Just then, some young kid in a sporty car flies in and takes the parking spot. The kid just shrugs and says to her "that's how it is when you're young and fast." The old lady throws her caddy into gear, and rams the kids car. He turns around and starts screaming at her, getting all out of control. She got out of the car, smiled, and said "that's how it is when you're old and rich!"

loooooooooool

I am rich Bitchh!!!
 
LSEGUY is correct, what the hell are you talkin about?

I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about since you feel the need to jump on his bandwagon. I fully comprehend what he is saying. You should try your best in life not to put yourself into bad situations where something bad can happen to you. Yes, the OP probably should have taken a step back and just let things slide. And yes, had he done that, then his LS probably would not have gotten keyed.

But here's where LSEGUY (and obviously you) have a major problem comprehending things. You try your best not to get into those bad situations, but guess what, sh!t happens in life, and sometimes you may find yourself in one of those situations. And please, spare me the non-sense about how that never happens to you. So, if you do find yourself in one of those situations, and it doesn't play out like you'd hoped, then the both of you seem to agree that whomever you've gotten into an altercation/argument/etc. with have the right to destroy your property? I don't think so, and if you do think that, then there's something very wrong with your thought process.

Sh!t happens in life, but that never, ever gives you the right to destroy someone's property. You have a problem with a person, and you came to that thinking for whatever reasons/actions/etc., then you take it up with the person, not their property. That is precisely what I said in an earlier post, and LSEGUY had the nerve to call my comprehension atrocious. I got his point, and I figured that was apparent with what I wrote, but obviously not.

Yea, that all sounds right to me, except when he was saying whatever you agree with and you told em to STFU.;)

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is our show for today. Thanks for coming out, GOD bless, and goodnight.

You need to go back and re-read then, because he did not agree with me, he just said my comprehension was atrocious, and that I didn't get his point. Quite evident in his statement below.

Lame. The OP posted this thread for sympathy, and to share his story. Not for lameass comments telling him that he's a loser. And yes, that is precisely what your comments conclude. And btw, LSEGUY, since you don't want race being part of the threads, then you might want to keep religion out of them as well; not everyone is religious ;). And along with that, you might want to get over your "holier than thou" attitude, acting as if you're the perfect human being. Anywho, I'm done. I think anyone reading this gets both points, so to continue it on is pretty pointless.

That's great.

Right on, man (I assume anyway...).
Furthermore I raise the question, at what point is enough enough? At what point can a person stop being the sheep? Sorry about the Lincoln, but what if it was an early eighties Escort that had been needing TLC ever since the middle eighties and our good friend MistaMoeGod was struggling to keep his new quintuplets fed and in diaper, never mind buy an LS. Door dings wouldn't be his concern, making it to his second job would be. Now he's going to come out to four flats instead of two key marks. Would the law help him? No. So sad too bad would be the general concesus. I can agree with a little vigilantism. Why should he give up a parking spot to some boisterous loudmouths (regardless of whether they are legal latinos, illegal latinos or even latino looking Italians...) We should not have to live in fear of b^llshlt like that.
 
Is it me or is there alot of racist morons on this forum. Oh and by the way not all latinos and imigrants are illegals.
 
That sucks... I always make it a point to even get the plate numbers of people parked on either side of me, just in case some douchebag throws open his door carelessly. A situation like your's would be easy in a small town like where I live to track down who did it. Hopefully you can track them down. Eye for an eye... but I suppose it's a honda, so would they even notice?

I dont want to turn this thread into a big legal debate but your method of memorizing a tag is impressive but will do you very little good. It wont get you anywhere legally and if by some chance you were able to track down the owner and you did something then YOU run the possibility of ending up in a court in front of a judge. Your word vs. the other guy gets you no where. Sh!t like that sucks and as hard as it might be you just got to be the bigger man and suck it up. Get a police report and your insurance will cover it minus your comp. deductible. Another little tip for everyone is to carry a $100 comp. deductible, the difference in the cost of your policy with minimal.

Who are you claiming is racist? I've yet to see a racist comment in this thread. If you're going to make a statement like that, then please explain. As has already been explained, I'm pretty sure the OP mentioned they were Latino for the sake of identification, in case someone from his area recognizes the vehicle.

And I agree with a previous poster, this whole race thing is totally getting out of hand. It's just a character trait for the sake of description. Should people stop giving out the estimated weight/height/color of hair and eyes in descriptions? I don't think so, and I don't see race as being any different. So, to call someone a racist for describing the race of an individual is completely asinine. And not only that, it takes the progression of equal rights/etc. a step backwards.

Memorizing tags is a good idea when you have their paint on your vehicle. Easy to match up by replicating the scenario in the parking lot of the courthouse if need be.

I retract my statement about messing up their vehicle in return.

In theory thats a valid way to look at it but the reality is different. The time frame between when the car got hit and when your case actually goes before a judge would be too long to still have the paint match arguement work, unless you put your car in storage and dont drive it till you go to court. Unless the other car has some exotic paint all the other person would have to say is their car is a standard oem paint that could have come from a variety of "other" cars. Get the drift? You have the burden to prove your case and the matching paint thing is a long shot, you need a witness. Honestly, sh!t like that is just better to get over it and move on.
 
Next time any Hispanics feel the need to exchange words with you, just call ICE.

This is not a racist statement? I was not speaking of the original poster so maybe your the one that needs to get your facts straight skizot722 but seriously i dont feel the need to bitch and argue on a forum I feel its very stupid.

Oh, Quite True!!
And niether are all illegals Latino. Middle east, eastern euope, Russia, far east, as well as Central and South Americas. The other Americas just get more of notoriety and media attention because of the astounding level of violence and gang activity. MistaMoeGod mentioned that they may have been of latin decent, somebody else went to illegal, I was merely pointing out that there are other ethnicities that have an olive hued skin. But I was not there argueing with them, that may actually made it clear if maybe they were or were not.
I firmly believe that the melting pot dynamic has made this a truly great country, but unfortunatly we are at a period in time that immigration (NOT just from the southern border!) needs to be checked (stopped) and then controled for economical as well as safety reasons. I have worked hand in hand with many nationalities, both legal and illegal, and as the saying goes, a few bad apples will spoil the bunch!
