Question big dent in car

well i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem with their car. i have a coupe and i have noticed this big dent in the side of the car. no one has hit it. every time i pull in and out of my drive way or go over something where the ground shifts angles i can here the body of the car flexing. it is really wierd all i can hear is this popping noise due to the dent popping in and out. when i put my hand on it you can push on the side and move the dent over. damnedest thing i ever seen.

where is the dent exactly? I have a mystery dent beside my drivers' side door handle - and since I don't butt-slam my door closed and there is no way it could have been placed there by someone else, I'm curious as to how it got there.

I have a vertical 6" mystery dent about 5 inches from the edge of my driver side door on the pannel...can't see it most of the time but you can when the light hits it right...

I think the sheet metal on these civics is real thin. I put a dent in my trunklid by just putting pressure on the deck to close it (instead of slamming it).
