#@$& Door Dings!

I'm a commuter at the University of Rhode Island. Today I noticed 2 scrapes on each side of my car from people opening their doors! The damage really shows up on my black Alero. They even ruined my pinstripe! I do my best to prevent them, but aparently that is not enough. I'm not quite sure what I can do about it. Any suggestions? I'm just really pissed right now. Just cause someone else drives a piece of sh-- doesn't mean I have to.

I know how you feel man. The college I go to is filled with a bunch of hicks in beat up ol' chevy's and rusted out little honda's. I learned after the first two weeks of coming out to a new scratch each day, to park on the way other end of the parking lot. The lot is big enough where it doesnt get filled all the way so my car and a couple other nice ones are parked on the opposite end. It means a little more walking but it will save your car some facial damage. The only think you can reall do is get a new pinstripe(I wouldn't, take it off, its looks tacky anyways) and cover the scratches up with touch up paint or take it to a body shop.
