Got to ask...

[Lexi65]

How do you park to keep your ride from getting dings from careless people?

Feed back please

Far away, end spaces, etc.

:iagree:

This is exactly what I do. However, no matter what you do or where you park...someone will be drawn to your vehicle and park beside it. 300 empty spaces and they will park right next to you..and close. Never fails.

I'm the a hole taking up 4 spaces at the end/back of the parking lot

Park far away. However my wife fails to understand the concept and wonders why I can't compound out the scratch she just got that's down to the primer.

or drive a beater like I do and could care less if someone scratches it.

I usually don't park far away, I just choose a space where doors can be fully opened on both sides without hitting another car. Also, I always fold up my mirrors. Just a few days ago, somebody missed my mirror by less than an inch when a gust of wind took their door. If the mirror wasn't folded up, well, I really don't want to think about it.

I just have a few of my closest friends keep an eye out for wayward strangers
that would even thinking about trying to park next to my vehicles.

So far: No Dings...
(At least not on my vehicles.)

These answers are the perfect example of my everyday life.. I park far away, and my Miss always comments on why i park so far away and to not be scared, until the day she got dinged and now doesn't say a word Im the MAN

Exactly!! Soooo Annoying. There's always that one dude who said hey let's keep him company.

I usually double park. Taking up two spots isn't that bad, and usually I find a back corner. I've had someone spit on my car before for this, but I could care less.
About a year ago I had my door repainted because some elderly folk threw their door open into the side of my car, then leaned on it to get out of their car. Thankfully I was sitting in my car on a phone call, or else I would've been SOL.

When I park on the far side at the mall or large parking lots, I park on the center of the line and take up two spaces.

In HS I parked next to someone with assigned spots, literally had dings all down the side of my car, from the front and back doors of this kids car. I went to the school about it and they got the kid out there and opened the doors and said the dings don't match up, there is nothing we can do. They checked with no one in the car, and the dings were like an inch or 2 lower than the doors when swung wide open. Put 4 kids in there and the game changes. I got an estimate and blocked his car in with mine from behind and waited for him, handed it to him and said this is what you owe me. 2 days later I got a phone call from his insurance company ;).
