I made the mistake of parking my new Civic in a "no parking 4 to 6pm" zone, and got it towed. I find the guy ramming a metal rod down the side of my door, and to my surprise, I check the door, and the entire thing is BENT. The car's frame and door are scratched, my door lock latch and window button is scratched, and my door is nearly cracked open (not enough for water to leak in, luckily. It's raining like hell here in Los Angeles.) but I got so angry... what was worse, I couldn't pick up the car myself, because it was in my mother's name, so she had to come down. She got so pissed off that she made the towing lot manager sign a note saying that they would pay for the repairs. (I don't know if they'll bend the door back into shape, or just give me a whole new door...)

Regardless, if anyone gets their new Civic towed, CHECK YOUR DOORS FOR DAMAGE.
