I have the mystical parking Genie - a front spot always seems to open for me next to handicap (monster spots) or the cart drop-off so I can park extra-close to one side to avoid people that can't park for **** (a large proportion of drivers..)

Last year parking at Epcot while at DW in Fla, I even got waved to the very front row to take a parking spot that someone had pulled into - and then left..

I luvs my Genie...

No flippin way would I ever park next to one of those cart drop offs.. I've seen horror movies with those things. People slinging there carts and missing them, hitting the cars dead on...

Like others said...at least it's just the gas tank, in the event that you had to replace it!

The parking garage where I park in has 2 spots on the fifth floor that are extra wide because there wasn't enough space to put in 3 spaces. I can pretty much always get one of them so no one can park close enough to cause any damage.

I never had one ding living in Georgia.

Here in Tennessee I get a ding about every few months. And I am careful where I park.

I find it better to park next to cart corrals cause nobody parks thier shopping carts there.

The inconsiderate careless parking lot idiots strike again.

[IMG][/IMG]

Noticed this a couple days ago. It's not much, just a scrape but it's very annoying when you work hard to keep your vehicle flawless and some careless ******* does this. I don't know if I should try to have someone touch it up or repaint the entire bumper. The scrape digs pretty deep into the plastic right above the marker light.

I would be sooo mad.

It's odd though, just one ding would seem like an accident, but TWO in the same spot?

And damn mph, that hurts to look at... I bought mine used with a small scrape on my driver's side side scoop similar to that. I see it and cringe to this day. :-\
