Sadly, even back in the early 2000s I even took my F355 to Costco....and that boot ain't very big! 😂

Lol. **** can happen anywhere and anytime. Even in your own home and garage. Hell, you get in the freeway and flying debris or rock can fly at any moment. If you’re that stressed about parking lots, better to just not own the car tbh.
Do your due diligence and protect the car as best as you can but don’t forget the reason why you bought the car. Hopefully, to drive like you own it and not like it owns you.

From my perspective it was just a chance to be with a bunch of car people, and see a variety of different kinds of cars! [Mission Accomplished]

I'm not entirely sure what Bring-A-Trailer gets out of it. There certainly is brand awareness, and the chance to personally talk with the folks who operate the website, too.

For reference, the Bring-A-Trailer events page lists their various Meetups plus other auto events: https://bringatrailer.com/calendar/
