In the garage...I don't trust people period. A door ding on my black car would stick out like a sore thumb. My daily driver (Jeep Grand Cherokee) wears the scars of the world on it's sides...and I always park away from masses and walk; really irritates me that people are so careless and don't give a crap about others.

Yep, I'm w/you 100%. But I always think pos - look at all us "good" Pcar owners. We're the good people, because we care about our cars and others cars.

Oh yah, pedal to the metal! Pcars rock!

And yeah, it seems to happen from time to time, you park a mile away and still, some silly tu_d parks beside you when he has 500 other slots to park in.....Amazing.

Anyways, you got to love that Pcar! I read some other poster noting the truth....other cars seem "broken" compared to Pcars.

Cheers

I park a ways out and walk, but a couple of other suggestions.

1. When I can, I parallel park along a curb rather than in lot so nobody can open a door into my baby, and

2. If I do park in a lot, I look for a space where no one can park on the right side of my car. That's because of lot of people parking have just the driver in the car, so it reduces the odds of getting a door ding.

Had my Box for a year now and so far, so good.

I detest dings!

So far I'm good.

I try to park in the boonies but some joker does always end up parking RIGHT next to ya there.

I don't drive to movie theaters with Foxy.

Work is probably the second worst place to acquire dings.

I never take up 2 spots -that invites the keyers.

I bought my DD thinking, "this car is for dings -I don't car if it gets beat up." I WAS WRONG! I don't even like getting dings in that 12 year old champion! (I love my Acura TL -as boring as it is).

Dings are automotive acne.

People nowadays are so inconsiderate of others. Therefore I am very careful where I park. I wish others would indeed follow 'the golden rule'. We would all be much better off and happier if they did.
