got my first ding today
I was feeling happy and then this happened. I parked my car at costco farther away from everyone so they couldn't touch my car. Then, it happened. I opened my door and let it swing a little too far and bang 
the side of the door, where the handle is, hit the railing of the place where people put their cart away. I could see a small amount of paint stuck to the railing. I thought it wasn't from my car at first but boy was I wrong
It was from my car door. I'm so pissed at myself for not paying attention. Anyways, I went to the dealer to buy a paint touch up and the color didn't even match
It does hide the ding a little though. I'm still pissed!!! Why can't Honda make the paint a little tougher? Like those cars in the Saturn commercial?

No offense, but of all the places to park, why would you park next to a shopping cart "corral?"

I have only taken my car to Costco once. After I had to drop the top to load the 80 lb bottle of ketchup in the passenger seat, I came to the conclusion that this car is waaaaaaaaay to small to shop there. I don't know how you guys do it.

BTW I have had some close calls with dings too. I wonder all the time why it is that I can park in the farthest place from the building and some schmuck will park right freakin next to me.
