not this car.. but I had the morons in our factory kick a soccer ball into the passenger door of my Chrysler 300c.

I came unglued at the production manager, who told me that as far as he was concerned happy workers was a good thing and if letting them play soccer in the parking lot at break time made them happy he wasn't going to stop it, and I should consider moving my car..

Really? Ok, so I took the soccer ball and kicked it at his car and broke off his rearview mirror (oh did I mention I was a place kicker for my high school football team and played soccer for 15 years)...

The factory people were no longer allowed to play soccer in the parking lot during breaks, and he was fired about 2 months later for some other B.S.

ever seen the kind of dent a soccer ball leaves in the modern thin steel used on a car..

yeah you can push it back out, but then there is a ripple in the metal.

his mirror was a small price to pay, he's lucky it wasn't his face that got broken with a soccer ball.

I was in a party story waiting for my balloons to be blown up and I was watching my car. Some little princess that could do no wrong with a size 0 mother that was as dumb as a bat were ahead of me; thus walked out before me. They happened to have their Mercedes parked next me (I thought I couldn't go wrong parking next to that? Right?) and they proceed to get in it. The little girl drug her hand on my car from bumper to bumper and then threw her door. If the car would have been an 1mm closer I would of had a ding. I almost busted out of the store... don't know what stopped me, but the lady blowing up my balloons looked shocked at my movement to the door.

Not sure which scenarios are the worst, the throw up or the hungry coyote. I've had a runaway shopping cart veering towards the car. I never knew I could run so fast chasing after it.

Parked mine at the furthest point of a WallyWorld lot and when I was walking back an old beater Nissan Corolla whipped in next to me and the chick inside flung her door open and I mean it was within a fraction of an inch from hitting my car. She had no idea I was walking back to it. I about shyt and then I walked up to her as she was getting her stuff out (she worked at the Applebee's and instead of parking in their lot, she parks in Wally') and I said I'm glad your POS door didn't hit my car cause if it had, I would have bled your fat ass right here and left you to drain in the sewage drain! I was hot and she said not a word as when these green eyes turn sort of a brownish golden amber color, you either know I'm freakin' made or I'm the devil incarnate!

For me it was what I did not see.

I had parked in a visible spot, only to come out of the store and have my hart skip because I did not see my car. Its gone I thought, It was then that I realized that big 4x4 was not there when I drove up. hitting the remote start confirmed that my views was blocked.

That's right I was Camaro blocked by an over sized GMC.

Here at work some people are obviously jealous that I am 25 years old and my camaro is paid off for the day it left the parking lot. Many of the guys at work believe that I have 2 camaros and that I am irresponsible with my money. So I parked in a corner spot (since I work 1800 to 0600) knowing no one would or should be parking way out there next to me at 0600. When I got relieved from work I find one of the jealous guys parked right next to me. It was a newer Dodge Ram. I wasn't pleased about it, but I did a 360 walk around to make sure he didn't key it or anything. I figured he wouldn't ding my car with his truck since his truck is in really good shape. I think he was just trying to get me upset.

I was parked in the way back at Academy, and when I came out, I saw two kids pushing each other around in a shopping cart about 10 feet from my car. I hit the remote start, they gave one look at the car, and took off running.

Good times.

Was late in my senior year of high school, I was helping my theatre teacher move equipment around (While waiting for the gf) as I walk out to my car there is a swarm of people all around so I couldn't really see my car, then where I park I see one persons head nor moving in the crowd, as I walk up to my car I see him sitting on my hood with a studded belt.... I don't think I have been that angry since then...

My friend and his son were parked at a store and when they came out two young girls were dancing on the my friend's son's car. They ultimately took the girls to court! Now that is crazy - they thought it was someone else's car.

I live on a cul-de-sac and for some reason all the kids in the neighborhood (which has many cul-de-sacs and a large field/common area) use my cul-de-sac as a ball field, and my driveway is in the line of fire. Every time I hear them outside playing I run to the window to make sure they aren't hitting my car. It's really annoying. All the cars parked on the street have dents all over them.

Last week they were using my mailbox and my neighbor's mailbox as a goal post and kicking a football between them. My driveway (and thus my car) are only a few feet directly behind my mailbox. I saw them kick it twice and miss my car by inches, so I yelled out the window and politely asked them not to kick their football directly at my car. They shrugged and walked off. I was pissed, but I didn't want to make them mad enough to egg my car (or worse) so I was nice. If they'd hit my car it would have been a whole new story though!

A guy on the old F-Body.com forum told a story (with pics included) of a goose attacking its reflection in the side of his Vette. LOL The craziest thing was that he took the time to snap a pic before he chased it away. He was about the most anal person about his car I have ever known.
