GRRRRRR

Am so pissed off.

After all the effort I went to keeping my car clean. Going all out to keep the paint from scratching while washing it. I get back to my car this afternoon at Castle Towers to find....

...someone scratched it opening the door.

And to know I parked especially to give them more room. GRRRRRR


Its not that deep it seems. I can remove some of it with my finger nail however there is one deep line on it. So that scratch I think will remain after some polishing.

Sorry to hear. I hate Castle Towers with a religous fervour!!

That said, about a year ago parked the playdo there and before I could dismount, some woman in a laser flung open her door onto my running board and gave herself lovely dent. No damage to said running board :-)

I always park my little noddy car next to a pole so at least I only get hit on one side.

When I was in New York last year, I did notice quite a few cars with this product or similar around their front and rear bumper corners, whilst parked overnight in public streets.

The average bogan would probably get a kick out of pulling at them until the "aircraft grade security cable" wears the edge of the door panels back to bare metal.
