    A killer of passenger side mirrors that is. Just now at lunch I pulled into AM/PM, the last parking spot on the left. As I start to open my door a guy in some little POS painted up delivery car comes zooming so close to me that I take off the passenger side mirror.

    Good news, the guy was so close the door was only slightly open so the strong seam at the edge of the door took the hit without even a black mark. The guy knew he had screwed up pulling in so close and surprisingly said if there was no damage to my car we could just let it go. Which was probably code for I don't have insurance so please don't get the police involved since we're about 1/4 mile from the local PD.

    I'm normally very good about checking if it's safe to open the door but with no parking spot to my left I didn't check... watch out, it's a war zone out there... :search:

    Yeah I was very lucky. The sound of the mirror breaking had me thinking the whole door was crumpled so to find it without damage was a surprise. The mopar guardian angel was working her magic....

    Poor guy probably rented it and couldn't control it because the rear end was wobbling all over the place...

    I like to give people a break but I always try to protect myself. I always get all their information and, if possible, the name and address of a witness (get the store manager or someone to come out and see what happened). That way if you get a call a couple of weeks from now with this guy claiming you sideswiped his car you're covered. Rarely needed by great when you do.

    we should join the same 12 step program since I shot pics of his car and license plate with my phone and I had a co-worker in the car as a witness.

    Great idea guys, I never thought of it that way. Luckily I don't have many "incidents" since I try to park deep no matter what car I drive but still, something to think about. I like the quick thinking Ralph with the camera phone, I would have probably just moved on, doh! :dumb:

    Jason, you are NOT a Mopar God, you are a Sodomite God to which there is no equal. The EQ idolize you for your fetish beliefs and twisted ideology but regular people will never bow to you, ever!! Hahahhahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! (I will of course ... :worthy:)
