HA! Nice thread Mike. I thought I was the only person that obsessed about my car getting hit while parked. No door dings for me yet...knock on wood! I too park far away from the pack. I even made it evident at my place of work that I have my favorite parking spot, and no one else better park in it....or else!

I sold the 07 Vette just for that reason. I am a high school teacher and a shinny new Vette with headers and a fairly loud exhaust attracted way too much attention. I constantly worried about leaving it out there. So I bought the 350 because it tends to blend in a little better though I do miss the performance. But I still get to school an hour before classes start to get the premium or what I think is the safest parking spot.

Had the 250 for about 3 weeks now.
Allways carefull about parking.
I get a call two days ago and some one gave the wife a 4" crease on the passenger door as a present.
No paint break so it may be saveable.

I know thre feeling, had my left door hit by someone and I didn't notice until a car wash

In the end it cost a repair of $600 for paint job on the complete door at the Lexus dealer hmmmmmmm.........

Today I use two parking spots, the others parking next to me can think whatever they want..........

Mike,

You must have the Blackberry Pearl (I forgot), My Curve takes crap pics. As for Richie, he has his telephoto lens camera hanging from his neck like a tourist to capture pics of himself in random places (LOL).

I should have taken a pic from the other direction to really show how big this parking lot is and how empty it was. I must have walked thru close to 6 empty rows....It is a GYM and I give them credit for walking and not being lazy but come one?!?!?!?
