Default first lara, no damage
Sliding my WS Zetec past a car turning right, I heard a loud thud as my left wing mirror clipped the tray of a parked truck. No excuses.
The mirror swung back to face me so I feared the worse. Checked at the end of the trip, not a scratch! Impressive.
No excuses but this is not such a small car, longer wider & heavier than a Mazda 2. Maybe safer because of that.

It happened to my car, when I was stuck inside my car, while a driver from the car next to me was blocking my way, then he walked past and opened the passenger and it hit my wing mirror, it moved to face the window, and I was like WTF when he went off, I checked the mirror and no damages was caused.

I should have done that!!!! Didn't think of it, but I think he didn't even felt it, and he didn't know that I was inside due to the dark tint. If there was room, I'd get out of my car and demand a apology
