I did notice this sort of in the fall, when I had classes during the day. But, I just said it was because our parking is pretty bad on campus.

This semester I have class in the evening so everyone is leaving while I'm coming in. I do park in the very back. One time, I did find a really nice parking spot up close to campus. I parked and climbed out. Turned to look at my car to realize that the spots were actually very very small. I had this sudden vision of getting dinged, so I jumped back in and parked in the further spot imaginable.

I've actually driven PAST MANY open spots in a parking lot just to find the area with the least amount of cars.

Yeahh... I hate doing the usual 360 inspection of the entire car anytime I park out in a public parking lot. I'm sure people look at me kinda crazy sometimes if I'm looking too hard. Usually always happens when it's wet and raining for me, and I don't see the dent until days later when I'm detailing. I have already paid to get some dents pulled out because I could not stand looking at them.

I experience this phenomenon everytime I go to a public parking lot.

This used to happen to me all the time. Now I just park where ever there is parking, as long as the cars beside me aren't over the line or anything. So far no dings.

As much as possible, I try to get the end parking spaces or the ones next to the "islands" with the trees planted in them. You know that at least one side of your car will be ding free (unless the lawn care guys come thru and start cutting the grass that day). Luckily I got a parking space at my place that's like this, but I have to park all the way to one side of the space because I have a neighbor that can never park straight and doesn't really care when she opens her door.

I did the same thing! It's funny because I parked toward the middle of the lot, and as I was walking towards campus, I ran into my cousin and walked with him. Then I had a vision of how the lot would fill up, and eventually someone would park next to my car. So I told my cousin I forgot something in my car just so I can repark it. I didn't want to tell him the truth because I didn't think he would understand heh.

I always try to park next to a Lambo and stay away from tight spots. Other then that parking anywhere is fine. The closer the better cause i'm too lazy to walk. lol
