I only take my DD to walmart and never the nice car. You're just asking for something to happen in the Walmart parking lot.

I don't even wanna risk it parking at Walmart. If I have to shop for something, I usually find a more expensive car to park by.

I park at the last spot and as close to the curb as possible under the tree, and if any carts come my way, i'll kill someone ...

DD is your friend. Most of us on here spend more money on one part for the z that can buy a decent DD. Best investment ever.

This is the truth. Buy a beater for you shopping trips. Spend quality time on twisty mountain roads.
Just you and your girls.

Sorry about the dent man, I have seen it happen before in a Best Buy parking lot; my brother's car had a nice, deep dent in his passenger side door from a run-away cart.
I second the beater car: I am in the process of finding a nice beater, just so I can have a "park anywhere" mentality! I have always avoided parking next to people for fear of a door ding, but with a nice beater, I can park anywhere and I'll even smile when I find a door ding

i always park by the oil change place and always at the end! I once parked at Wal Mart at 1:00 am, and saw the security guy making his rounds, he said nice car, I said someone vnadalized my car at Walmart before. He said he would watch it for me, when I came out 15 minutes later he was next to my ZR. I thanked him and left, I need to do that more often.

BTW my car was never vandalized,
