You didn't crowd someone in a parking space somewhere, did you? Because when someone parks on or over the line next to my beater car, or older trucks I have owned in the past, I intentionally slam the door as hard as I can into them when I get or squeeze myself back into my vehicle. I'm sure I'm not the only one. LOL
:rolleyes:

Some F'er did that to me at the airport and parked illegally in a no-park space, crowding my driver's side door when I still had my Accord.
Did you call for assistance from the airport wrecker contractor? Did you epoxy his valve stems to the center of his driver's side windshield?

No, but I did leave a nasty note. Not sure if I still have a picture, but it was a total dickhead park job he did.

Yesterday, I transferred my Delta Sonic Unlimited account from my previous car to my new Maverick. My cost is $12.99/Month for unlimited exterior washes (I got in on some super promo a couple of years ago). Delta Sonic is brushless. As an unlimited member you get to jump the line and go straight through the gate. (there is an OCR sticker on your rear window read by an automatic scanner). You then go through an automated pre-wash, then 2 employees power wash the lower body and wheels while you pull onto the tunnel track, put the car in neutral (no L required) and sit through an amusement park series of foam, rinse, coating, rinse and drying stations while disco-like lights flash all around. Upon leaving the tunnel, you pull up to a station where an employee uses an air compressor to dry the mirror bodies and hand wipes/dries the glass, headlights and bumpers. My Maverick came out clean and shiny with no marks. My Ford Soft Folding Tonneau kept the bed dry. When I get home, I use a damp micro cloth to clean off any droplet marks that ran out of the door frames on the trip home. Delta Sonic also offers interior cleaning and detailing for more $$. If I wanted, I could get a wash everyday (not recommended). Here is a video of the Delta Sonic Super Plus Club in Oswego, IL. My Chicago Area Delta Sonic is not quite this impressive but similar.
