Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate the need for car door protection on the city streets. What happened to the courtesy between one new Yorker to another. Why do taxi riders slam cab doors into adjacent vehicles when entering and exiting the taxi cab. Surely there must be some explanation for this reckless behavior. Funny that I should get a door ding in my door, the same day that I get a flyer on my windshield stating, “car door ding repair 15% off for new customers.” Is this some sort of conspiracy by dent repair companies to invigorate sales or just pure bad luck? This is not the first time a taxi door dinged my car door. I have car door dings and dents on both sides of my car, with a hint of taxi yellow paint the only clue that a taxi door was involved. I have since been more careful to park away from the entrance of buildings. I have also purchased a car door protector for added car door protection.
