Only good thing I can say is no dings on the Subaru YET but a week after I bought a 2005 Frontier (incidentally my first new car), some asshat rammed her circa 1990 Taurus Wagon door with rust coloration into my truck. |

Can you explain this in better detail? If I get an RR sticker do I have to register somewhere? If someone doesn't know what Ride Respect is if they try to ding the door does fire shoot out the sticker? Is there a money back guarantee as in if I get dents with this sticker on I get my dents fixed for free?

the only way to win door dings, is to not care about them. the more you care, the more you lose. doesn't matter what kind of parking strategy you have, you'll never win in the long run. you can try to park between expensive cars, because these owners tend to be more careful about their own car, but once that person leaves, another car comes in, etc.
i have over 20 dings on my car, needless to say.... i learned this the hard way |

Like anyone I could get a ding on any given day, but at least I am making an effort to prevent it like you have. Of course I am limiting my claim of success to door and fender dings. Hood chips and dings from road gravel are present as is pitting on the front fascia. Obviously one cannot successfully drive between flying gravel and sand. A CF hood will solve part of the problem. |

I go out of my way to avoid stupid people all the time, and yet somehow they manage to find my car and park RIGHT next to it. Case in point. FML. WTF is wrong with people? Did this oldsmobile-driving-d-bag not realize that the entrance to home depot is on the OTHER freakin' side of the football-field-sized parking lot? |

What's funny is when people can't see you in your car because of window tint, and smash their door into your car. Then you and your friends precede to "take care of" the moron - presumably getting money from said person as compensation for their stupidity.

Being disabled, I have the privilege of using the handicapped parking spaces which are generally quite a bit wider than standard spaces. Still, you'd be amazed at how many people try and squeeze into the smaller space between two larger reserved spaces. I love my new Impreza but I do miss the solid plastic doors of my Camaro. I'm pretty anal about where I park and don't care what anybody else thinks. Heck, I've even parked off the pavement onto the grass. I'd rather pay a parking ticket than see an unsightly door ding. Don't tell anyone, but I've even "google earthed" a parking lot before going there to scope the best parking strategy. Yes, I'm obsessed.

Don't hate on sonic yellow. Arguably the best color wrx ever. I'm guessing you drive a black car -- but I don't know since you haven't filled out your profile. Do that first. |

I prefer the blaze yellow more so than the sonic yellow.

Pointing out that the overall appearance of a car gives the impression that it belongs to a woman and hating on sonic yellow are not equivalent. For those to be equivalent, one would have to hate women. Anyway, this has nothing to do with the point I was making in my previous post.

vinyl wrap your car if you really care about your paint that much.
I don't see the big problem, considering most door dings are easily poppable and also considering that subaru uses the worst paint techniques. ever. Hell a strong breeze will kick up **** to ding your car. |

I can't even explain how many times I park out of my way to only come out to be surround by cars. I have a good 10 door dings..I'm so sick of these MF's who don't give a **** about other peoples properties.

I'm not sure if you guys realize this but...it's just a Subaru, and door dings happen.
If you're that worried about keeping your tin can econobox in pristine condition, why not leave it in the garage under a car cover? |

Oh that's such a great idea, stickers! Because when the guy gets back and sees a giant yellow bumper sticker I can only imagine that hes going to really pay attention to if hes hitting the car next to his with his door. Because I know if somebody stuck a sticker on MY car I would be very
