Default doors

I would like my door to stop were I put it instead of that spot wear the door swings open on it's own. I wonder how many door dings that has caused?

That's nice. I am sure there are plenty of people who would like that. What is your point?

Sorry to say that 'ain't no mod or aftermarket stuff that you can get to do this thing.

And yeah, I have to admit, I did pit a door ding on a pick-up next to me. Goo thing there was a massive gash where some punk had keyed his car and I just happened to open my door into said gash.

I just found something that might help you keep from putting those damn door dings into adjacent cars: This thing is called Door Guard.
Sure, it is ghetto, and it ruins the clean look of your doors when closed on your car, but heck, at least it helps protect the car next too you and also the edges of your door that you happen to open into that next car.

I have a tip, its called observational awareness. Look at how you park and know where the open detentes are on the car you own.

How about putting your hand on the edge of the door so when you open it up and get out it can't possibly hit the other car?

Just learn where the point of no return is, and then start doing some curls so you can overpower the door when it wants to swing wildly away from you.

You guys are something else.
I NEVER park next to anyone, ever. I have never door ding anyone, ever.
That spot has little to do with me, I was just putting something out there to have a conversation, I guess I should have said, "What Kind of wheels should I get" or "which exhaust"
If you want to TRY to belittle or degrade a post why is it that you would hit the reply button at all, I mean just don't reply, much easier. And your Dumb a-- meter doesn't move.
