Parking Curbs

I'm getting a bit concerned about parking curbs and the front end of my boxster. Seems like everywhere I park there is one of those big concrete parking curbs at the front of the space. Generally, I just don't pull in very far because it is apparent that the boxster is not going to clear the curb.

Lately I'm feeling a bit like this is Russian Roulette, if I pull in just a little to far i'm going to tear up the front of the car. I'm actually posting this b/c I came very close tonight, actually pulled in too far and got really lucky that the front cleared the curb by less than a centimeter.

My everyday driver is an SUV, so never really gave parking curbs a second thought in the past, but I know it is just a matter off time before I get careless and will be spending some time at a body shop.

Not sure this post really has a point, but does anyone else lose sleep over parking curbs
