I hate myself, Today I hit a bollard - door replacement T5.2

LOL. I did exactly the same thing at a Bunnings about 2 years ago when I had my MY05. Sooooo angry at myself!!!

The funny thing was (not at the time) I deliberately parked well away from all the other cars do avoid the doors and trolleys. When I got back to the car some tool parked about a foot away right next to me. He had about 300 other spots to choose from in an almost empty car park but he parks his ****ebox ute next to me. So while I'm cursing this DH I had to swing the opposite way to get out and then CRUNCH!

I was looking at a second hand door too but they were way too expensive. Ended up paying the excess and had it fixed by a smash repairer. They put a new door on and repaired a little bit of sill damage.

Haha the whole reason I parked near the friggin bollard is the same as you. In the last month I've taken 3 small hits on the van all on the drivers side. So in a moment of sheer brilliance I figure I'll park near the crossing so as to avoid taking yet another hit. As I got in the car I even looked at the bollard then sat there looking in my work diary before starting the engine then hey presto I'll swing out the other way and BANG.


I reckon it's mainly kids getting out of cars though. Drivers are normally more alert/careful so the passenger side of my van is unscathed.
