[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has happened a couple of times.  Once there was a big gust of wind and my young teen just opened the door and let the wind throw her door into the car next to us.  (wasn't intentional to hit the car, but it was careless).  Another time, there was no wind, just a snug (not tight) parking space and my kid opened our car door into the other car.

Both times, scratches were made on the other car, and my car's paint was scratched off a bit.

Do you just move on?  Is there anything to do with the other car?  Is this just the car equivalent of what goes around comes around (i.e. sometimes your car will get dinged and sometimes your kid will do the dinging?)  [/quote]

It's a car.  Driven in the weather, on the road, in public.  Shit happens. If it's a significant ding or dent, I'd leave a note.  Otherwise, no. That's the risk you take driving in public. You have no right to a perfect paint job. Sorry.

Americans, btw, are such assholes about their cars.  Truly.[/quote]
