One of the cosmetic repairs was a nine foot long scratch placed by some wonderful soul in the uncured clear coat of the first door ding I had just gotten fixed. The big one was a hit so bad the passenger door would not open. The passenger side front wheel had to be replaced in that repair as well... I got it all fixed at the same time, then got rid of it for the Z.

I was hoping the Z would be harder to hit since it's a smaller target, but it got hit within one month of its purchase (Late August). And I am VERY carfeul about how and where I park. Now it too needs to have some cosmetic work, paid for, again, by me.. inconsiderate pricks.

Maybe if I don't get it fixed they'll quit hitting it? Its a bumper rub and is barely visible unless you know it's there. I hate that on a new car....sheesh.
Dam, sounds like you need to buy a POS and only drive your Z when your out cruising. I have both, a Nismo Z and a SRT8, but I rarely park them anywhere other than my garage. My son loves to go to Zaxby's in both of them, but I always park where I can see my cars from where I'm sitting. Never park in a mall or movie theater parking lot and surely don't park in a supermarket lot.
