And we do use a lot of space to enter/exit our vehicles.

Same thing happened to me. Orange 2010 SS. She begged to pay for it, but it's not large enough, so totally pointless :/

If the dings on the driver's door, wouldn't that mean their passenger did it? They are probably terrified to tell the owner! Hopefully that was why they didn't leave a note.

To the unacquainted, the coupe doors are beasts. I learned that the hard way but I was lucky enough to have an understanding co-worker... Stuff happens, but they definitely should have left a note!

Damn horrible news, our doors could do some real damage for door dings too. Iv been door dinged twice since iv gotten my car. One I'm pretty sure was a little girl swinging open the back door on a car and the most recent and horrible looking one happened at my company motor pool. No notes for any of them but I'm 99% sure I know who did them both. Nothing has gotten me so ticked off then them door dinging me and not even leaving a note.

I hate to point out the obvious, but some folks just view cars as a means of transportation. Nothing more, nothing less. Even Camaros.

I've see just about every make, model and year of vehicle in deplorable condition. Some people just don't care.

The Camaro is so much wider than my daily driver, it takes up most of a standard width parking space making it easier to get a ding from the car next to you. Also, the doors on this car open so wide that you have to be extra careful getting in and out to not ding the car next to you.

Reading the OP's post I was starting to believe it was me. Then I noticed he lives in Cali so I'm good. Lol. I'm sorry about that happening to you. But it does suck that our doors are so heavy and long. Happened to me a couple weeks ago I hit someone else's car at work when going to get something from my car. Damn wind. I had to work at O'Hare. We get a lot of wind because of airports. Any who whenever I always see another Camaro I always park one space away from it. I know how large Camaro doors are so I do that our of respect. And other Camaro's do the same where I live. Never met another Camaro owner though. Strange. /:
