Entry Level Lexus
I know we drive entry level Lexus cars but thats not the point. Its still my car and I still put money into it and try the best I can to keep it in great condition so I don't need anyone that doesn't give a crap about their car parking next to me and fling open their door and put a dent in mine. One time when I parked up close at the gym some d bag came in parking all crooked in front of me and kissed my bumper putting a chip the size of a dime in it. I was done with my work out and I had to be at work. Other wise I would have sat there and waited to see who would show up.

I know how you feel, I hate it when I park far away and then someone comes along and parks right next to me. And when I say park far away, I mean there are no cars within 10-15 parking spots of my car. But someone will always park close by it seems, especially at Walmart. Even if there was another CL member, I would park at least a few spots down and would never touch their car. Looking at it is fine, but there is absolutely no need to touch another person's car when checking it out.

Permanent Ding!
Here is why I don't park next to anyone. I discovered this after being in the local store parking lot for less than 5 min. After this I will never park between 2 other cars. This is a ding that I have been told will not come out because of the location right on the crease. Out of anyplace to get a ding...really?

I don't really think there is such a thing as an entry level Lexus. I think the IS series is a line designed to be more for those who want a sporty sedan instead of a family sedan like the ES. Actually the ES doesn't appeal to me at all. I believe the folks at Lexus knew there was a younger crowd that wanted a sport sedan...a la IS. So...not entry...just sporty.

yep definitely why I hate ppl parking by me. To others it may be just a car but its still my car I still pay for it I still love it, take care of it and wanna keep it in the best condition possible. Just bc someone doesn't give a crappy about theirs don't mean they should park next to me and fling their doors open and hit mine

I do the same thing when I park at work, and I try to keep my distance I work in the hospital and we are crawling with old people. And old people dont give a snot about anyone else's car. And on top of that they drive those ginourmous cars.

I usually don't think about how I should park my car until one day I was visiting someone and parked my car on the empty parking lot. Came out 30 minutes later and saw this...
I got a little mark on the my door handle from that car... Not too noticeble though...

Door Ding
Also, if I replace the panel then from everything I've read on here the color is going to be off because it's SFP.

It's the rear driver's side...so EVERY time I walk up to my ride....that's what the eff I see. I had the dealer assess it and they said it's pretty much not coming out. I know it's only one small ding but it really took a lot of the allure out of my ride. As clean as it can get...won't matter when I look at that stupid ding. I know it's only a material item but damn...how hard do you have to open your door into my ride to make this happen. I'm assuming it was a kid since it would have been someone getting out of their back seat.
