Re: How do you deal with that jerk?

I haven't had any problems with door dings like this. I have had others hit the front and back of my truck pulling in too close parking and once at a light when the guy was unable to stop in time. So far, I've been lucky. No damage to my truck at all. I have large heavy push bars in front and keep my trailer hitch and ball mounted at all times. The poor guy that couldn't stop ended up with my hitch ball through his radiator and pretty much ruined his whole front end. I might have gotten a scratch on the ball.

The rest of the parking lot incidents have all left small dents in the cars and the one truck that bumped me. I really felt sorry for the lady in the one truck. It was her husbands new truck and according to her was less than a week old. She scraped the shopping cart thing turning into the space and then bumped me hitting the push bar. That put a nice size dent about a quarter to half inch deep into the front bumper.

Other than that, if I have door dings it's difficult to tell. It's a truck and I do truck stuff with it, not baby it. There's scratches and little hail dings and all kinds of stuff I stopped worrying about years and years ago. However, I also have those foot rail things that stick out a couple inches more than the sides and probably stop most car doors.
