Mall Parking Lot = BAD - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

x7productions · 03-10-2010, 02:49 PM

Well. Usually I park a ways away from all the cars because I don't want people to open their door and ding my car etc,. BUT, I was in a rush over the weekend and dropped by the Arden Fair mall in Sacramento and just parked next to some cars.

I come back and find the following damage on my car

So, it wasn't the car parked next to me, so must have been someone that hit it on accident and then left?

The paint is completely gone there, but luckily, there is no dent that I can see.

Anyways, just thought I'd share. I don't know if I should try fix this myself with the touch up pen, or if I should just bring it by the dealer/body shop and see. And I believe after this, it just furthers my belief that I should park far far away since some people just can't park...

weird. Take it in and have it painted

Revo1 · 03-10-2010, 02:52 PM

Somebody scrape it? Odd looking damage. Sux man, I hate the mall...

Yeah, looks like a scrape. There are some horizontal scuff marks as well to suggest that something moving (a cars fender perhaps?) was rubbed against it.

Haha, usually I abide by rule #2 there!

Thankfully, it is just on the bumper and not the quarter panel. At least the bumper can be repainted without having to blend in the paint into another panel

Nothing good can come from any mall. The stuff is over priced, the parking sucks, and you have a bunch of teens trying to prove something. Victoria's Secret is the only reason to be there :o)

I hate people. I especially hate people in mall parking lots...

If someone invented a giant yellow inflatable airbag that popped out from underneath the vehicle and surrounded it, they could make a fortune.

Kind of like a giant version of those inflatable rescue rafts...

WongBob · 03-10-2010, 03:09 PM

Even that could not save your car from the idiots at the mall!

mscaggs · 03-10-2010, 03:10 PM

F the Mall! Big waste of time and money.

Yeah I got a door ding before I even got a chance to put plates on my car. I'm hoping that it can be taken out because its right on the body line that runs in the middle of the door so I'm not sure if that's going to be a problem.
