No one has answered me.

Is it bad for the door and the stuff inside it if you slam it?

As a general rule, rapid movements with abrupt stops do not do much of anything any good.

People usually have no respect for something that isn't theirs.

Slamming the trunk lid really gets me going...

My gf is good - she knows before she gets out of the car near a curb, she has to open her door slightly to check for clearance, and then slowly the whole way... bless her heart

My mom (all 5'0" of her) slammed my passenger door so hard that it kicked the window off the track. The WTF look on my face must have lasted for about an hour.

I think that Keith Hernandez had it right, but he should have included mustangs in the mix.

Same goes for me and I taught the wife to do the same. I also hate when someone rides with me and they plop down in the passg. seat. I get scared that they're gonna rip the leather off or rip a hole in it.

I fuggin HATE fingerprints too!!!!!!!

It pisses me off when people shut the seatbelt in the door. That gets me going. Also it pissed me off when my little cousin thought there were four doors on a mustang and tried pulling the side scoop thinking it was some kind of door handle

Thanks man, but I seriously doubt that was me. I would never have someone else wash my car. I always wash it at work or home.

I hate it when people pop my trunk open by my spoiler Then they slam the thing shut and my spoiler rattles GAH! I got a s281 BTW.

People slam my door, open them into mail boxes causing chips, spill drinks onto my carpet, and put their feet on my pleather. But I still love my friends <3.

I hate when people fling the ****ing door open with their foot and hand together. I don't give a **** about slamming doors, it doesn't do any damage. Flinging them open like that bends hinges, breaks welds, etc.

And to the guy above who said you dumped a girl because of your car, what was she doing in your trunk if you just went to the movies with her?

thats why i wanna get a rear seat delete

Amen to that. I think we get this topic coming up every couple of months but the doorslammers remain..

I swear that's the #1 gripe I've got about the 'stangs, and every car for that matter. The second one, not really a gripe, funny the first couple times and then annoying is when people can't find the handle on the inside

Yeah and when they don't put the seatbelt back in the loop on the seat and it just hangs in the back rattling against the plastic panel. I have to reach way back just to put it on.

Door slamming pisses me off mildly...what really grinds my gears is when people open the door without looking and bump other cars, crap in my garage, and other people! Luckily, none of those bumps have resulted in a scratch...yet!

Click to expand...

I feel the same way! Everytime someone rides with me they bump the door into something . Girls are definatly the worst about that stuff...but eh they are worth it . Fortunatly noone has screwed up my car yet....I also dont like people closing the door by the glass....AND EVERYONE BUT ME SEEMS TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!! Then when I say something kinda beating around the bush "you dont close the doors using the glass right?" Their reply "Oh ofcourse not, I use the weather stripping" ....Guess what they use to close the door YEP THE GLASS!!!!!!!!!
