Places I won't park my Boxster... how about you?

[Perfectlap]

I use these. I keep two sets in the trunk.

If I'm only parking for an hour or less I just park a long walk away. the average idiot who is likely to ding a door next to him won't park that far. I also avoid parking at the bottom of a sloping parking lot where a shopping kart might roll towards me, park at the top of the hill.
And always look for the parking spot where someone can only park on one side of you if far away parking is not available.

+1 on that. I always try and find the highest point on the parking lot to avoid rollers, and I usually try and find nice cars to park beside. It's funny how often I come out of a store and find another Boxster parked next to mine.

If I know I'm going to have to park in da 'hood then I just take the truck instead.

Another good tip, avoid parking next to two door cars with back seats or in other words really long doors that open very wide. I like the protectors except where I live they might actually cause someone to damage the car, why? because they can't have one.

This reminds me of a highschool friend that made this mistake with his 12 year old Pontiac sedan. Costco size cart rolled downhill into his quarterpanel & made a noticable dent. He reported it to his insurance co & they told him the $900 cost would total his car!

I try to stay away from parking near driving ranges.
