It's hard to keep my car perfect [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

My friends car gets those damn dings all the time........he hates it.

I have never gotten any dings........knock on wood. But then again, I drive around forever until I find a spot to park that I feel comfortable in.

I always try and park far away from any other cars when I can, the only problem I have and I dont know if anyone else has it is, I could be parking in a lot with no cars, and the furthest fromthe door and it seems like someone still parks beside me. I cant win .....

EVERY TIME i do that someone has to park next to me. An entire parkinglot that is completely empty, and someone with a car that looks like it was pulled out of a lake is has so much rust on it, is literally inches from my car in the next space over! Its like, park some F**kin where else!

The reason that this happens is because people feel safer parking next to another car. They are afraid if they park all by themselves, that their car will be stolen or something like that. Getting dents and scratches from unknown sources is just a factor in having a car. It sucks but hey what can you do?

I usually, actually like 98% of the time, regardless of where I am, park my car across 2 spots. No not to **** people off, even though I am sure it does, but to help prevent door dings from those moms in their Caravans and Expeditions! Ahh!

i hate when people do that....if you wanna protect your car park far away next to a curb or something....don't take up two close places....i would never do that cause i think there are a lot of people who would do damage on purpose cause you're being an *** taking up two spaces

What I do, is just park in between BMW's, Mercedes.... all those $100,000 cars... They know how to take care of their cars.

And in some cases, I'll park beside other modded cars - they know what's up [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I don't think someone with a $100,000 Mercedes wants a Civic parked next to them either,

Just find a curb and park as close to the curb as you can without scraping your wheels, Nobody will mess with your car...

really, light poles are our best friends...... old ladies are usually scared to park in a lot with light pole sticking out at one end... probably cause their huge limo like Buicks dont fit all the way in, lol.

Yeah I rarely take up 2 spots I believe you have more of a chance to get keyed or something since they really know you care about your car. I just find a curbed spot and just get close to that and I don't have a problem. I just hate huge lots and not a curbed parking spot anywhere that really scares me. I usually back in too so it looks a lil better I think, less chance of them dinging ya as bad since I have door guards on each side of my ride it has saved me so many times when I was living in my apartment complex.
