Maybe its because I live in NYC but some how my front and rear bumpers have scuff marks. I'm extremely careful when I park and always circle around store/place until I find the perfect spot in front of the store/place (if i'm parking on the street). Even than some how my bumpers have small scuff marks and scratches. Thank god I have my own parking spot at work.
The worst is when I take the time and effort to park REALLY far away at the mall/theater parking lot, come out and see the entire parking lot empty except 2 cars parked on each side of my car. That TOTALLY blows my mind since there are like 100 other wide open spots around me but they HAD to park beside me. Perhaps its because I have a redline Z and the car stands out like a sore thumb every where I go?
Best was when I went to visit my mother for mothers day and parked my car on her driveway. As I was saying bye to her and was getting ready to leave she decides to pull the trash can out to the street. She drags the can against my rear fender and makes a 4 inch long deep scratch. I was PIIISSSSSEEEDDDD but couldn't say or do anything, cause it was mothers day. All I kept saying was, WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME TAKE THE TRASH OUT. WHEN I WAS A KID, I AAAALLLWWAAYYYSSS TOOK THE TRASH OUT. LOL. Greatest way to end mothers day.

There's a teacher at the school just down the street who parks her Pontiac Solstice on the shoulder of a busy road with the tires half on the pavement. I didn't understood why she did that until I drove one.
Despite her efforts over the past year, the car is still ding-free.

Thanks for all the replies. Ill post pics with my posts next time..
I'm probably gonna lose my mind the day I walk out and see the bumpers scoffed up from someone pulling out.. ugh.. I'm getting mentally ready I mean i've seen it done to cars that cost 3x as much... hopefully keeping it clean will encourage someone to be extra careful..
Yes I know I'm sounding like a whiny b&$^ with all this but its only been 2 weeks.. lol

When you drive a nice car you always have to park VERY FAR away from everybody else. It is the only way to avoid idiots scratching your car. At work, we have a parking lot that is 2 football fields long (if not more). I park at 10th row where nobody ever parks. Well, the guy with the Audi S4 parks near me, and the red GT mustang also. I guess I am not the only one who is concerned about door dings.
