Today when my wife came home she parked her Towncar too close to the 80. She opened her door with gusto. I saw it happen and cringed - I heared the bang and then.......................... her door just crashed into the running board and nothing happened!

Everything has a hidden value somewhere.
 
Good thing you don't have sliders....her car would have been damaged:)
 
I watched a guy open his door into my slider. Had a nice little half moon dent on the edge of his door. I bet he is more careful now. :-)
Cheers,
Sean

Did you also read Biff's slider encounter with a Ferrari a few weeks ago? An even better story IMHO. :D
 
The running boards have protected us numerous time in this very way.

Took them off for a week and my wife made me put them back on though.

My wife didn't like the running boards off either -- that's how I got the sliders ("They're kind of like steps, honey...").

I have found that the sliders are pretty good at taking out small children on bikes/tricycles in the driveway before they impact the vehicle.

we have some way high curbs in my town and i love watching my wife from the passenger seat when she gets too close to the curbs and grinds our sliders-she really jumps. I just touch them up once a month or so. i made mine so they stick a few inches out and also love watching morons open their doors into them.

Brotha you got to point me in the right direction, I did a search for "sliders ferrari" and got nothing other then this thread :)


Felt sorry for the chic, but it was her fault for opening the door to fast on my passenger side. Only regret is that I didn't have a digi camera to take pics.
