i always park WAY out (useually where you'll see other people trying to avoid dings) and on a median on one side if possible close to it!!!)
i always wanted to shave my side moldings, but knew my dingage would go way up!
this is a stupid story but i'll tell it anyway:
in 1995 I bought a brand new Integra GS-R (that was stolen in 1997 anyway). Im sitting in a parking lot waiting for my g/f to come out from the mall and some dum ho pulls up and BAM.. opened her door so hard into my car it rocked it. So i jump out and im like hi, you just nailed my poor new car and she actually said 'sucks to be you' ... i happened to be wearing boots that day so i kicked the **** out of her SUV's door 4 times .. backedup and moved to another spot
