Where do you park your Porsche?

[Jeph]

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.

Far far away!! Its healthier to walk , My harley f250 also gets parked away from people!!

Looks like Bob Z has it about right. But no matter how careful I try to be, there's always that one **swipe, as eqs mentioned, that always wants to park next to me. Since I already have a few dings, I'd rather not add to my collection. So, if I can't find a reasonable parking spot, I'd rather not park and run that particular errand for that day....it can wait for when I have my DD w/ me.

Another vote for far away.

Also nowhere near a shopping cart return area and always on the uphill side of a lot. My former DD MX-6 got tagged by a cart rolling down into it.

It also got hit by the door of a fat lady's car whilst parked in a far corner spot at a restaurant. She musta bought the weight/health benefits as some of you have mentioned.

Not my best parking job, but far away it is. . . . .

Those wheels look good what size?

If I do happen to park next to two cars, I always strategically park my car on a slight slant so that the passenger door on my left and the driver's side door on the right leave plenty of space *so far, so good*

I agree with 70Sixter - far away and always uphill. Another tactic is to park next to other upscale German cars, at least there is some level of respect for another's property.
Much to my SO's chagrin I have been known to turn down a restaurant if there are no "acceptable" parking spaces - "But Honey - it's a Porsche!". Her response is invariably: If you call and cancel the reservation they appreciate it and don't hold it against you next time.

People are animals, but fortunately there is the Dent Wizard. The guy I used when I had the Miata really is a wizard.

I used to drive & park the boxster everywhere... never really thought about it, until I came out to the car parked in the Ybor city parking garage & it had a brick in the windshield. now the boxster stays in the garage & I drive my 87 jeep cherokee P.O.S. everywhere..

If I do drive the boxster, I park it where I can see it.. I am not really OCD over damage to the car, (I have beaten the lil' critter up on my own), but I hate it when people just get away with that crap fer nuttin...

I mean who smashes a windshield just cause its a Porsche, really?
