When I lived in Boston, this happened far too often. I would piss me off, not only when it happened to me, but even when I saw people doing it between other people's cars.

I'd go for the poison nanobot spike bumpers. run into it and they eat the offending car's computer :twisted:

Hmm, that sparks another idea - what about spring loaded spikes inside your bumper which trigger when your bumper senses a certain amount of pressure and they shoot out penetrating the other car's bumper and hopefully triggering their air bags to go off before retracting back into your bumper...

and works great for those pesky pedestrians who get in your way!

In europe most/all cars have severe dings on them because of limited parking. Drivers just cram their cars in. Paris was the worst.

I've seen that a thousand times in the city. It's practically an art/spectator sport in New York :D.

Yeah, well, tell that to the car designers who stopped using sturdy solid steel bumpers and replaced them with fragile expensive car body!

That's the bumper cover, not the bumper. The bumpers are still steel under there.

yeah, parking like that doesn't do anything to the frame. it definitely leaves marks but, well, these are the rules of living in the city.

That's some parking skills. Blame the motherfucker in front or behind for leaving just enough room to park 1 standard size car w/ no room to spare. I fucking hate it when people do that. You either take up 2 spaces, or leave enough for 1 w/ space.
