I have worked here for about 4 years and I have tried and tried to find the perfect place to park my car. I used to park out front. Got a ding on my S2000, got a ding on my G and birds were always pooping on my car because there is a power line right over it. OK...I moved to the back. Thought I had found the perfect spot. Close to the building, in the shade most of the day and nobody parked near me. There is a little door by my car and they build crates in there. Next thing I know I have a nail in my tire. So....I move over a little further. Some of the people here have one of those mobile units come wash their vehicles. Of course they do it right by my car and I get crap sprayed all over my car.

:facepalm:

What are my choices? Dings/poop/flat tires/soap and crap overspray. Decisions decisions.

:tantrum:

Is that you H? That car is so much prettier than a Pimpala ;)

SVT...I did actually go speak to the fella. He is a nice man working hard to try to make a living. It was hard to be too ugly with him. You ain't seen nothing till you have seen an angry white woman throw a file and clomp down a long concrete flight of stairs in her heals. I probably scared the crap outta him.

:ohno:

keep cones in your trunk and place them around the G! Or maybe a couple of guards. Well not in the trunk. they might suffocate. Try a different spot every day. Maybe you'll find one eventually.

Corner spot - passenger side of the other car.. and hoping that they don't have passenger. sometimes there is extra space in the corner spot.. park as far of the line of possible.

and I still have a freaking dent on my car!

It is easy Becky. All you have to do is get 2 of your friend come with you with their own car. You park in the middle.

Something like this. I won't get a dent this way.

I've had dings removed from the wife's G already and she has a couple more already. Park in a hospital garage, even park away from everyone else, and you are bound to get dings regardless. My coupe? I'm pretty selective but there have been times I have had to park in places I was sure would end up with me getting pissed off but thus far not a single ding (knock on wood).

Double For the win! especially at work , less prone to someone keying the car.
