[QUOTE="love bandit2, post: 287397, member: 2364"] Parking is a science to me, and I think I've mastered it. I've never gotten a ding of my car from any doors. The trick is, park at the back of the parking lot with your car behind one of those concrete islands (on the side away from the store). That way the island will shield you from wandering shopping carts. The island also prevents a car from parking on one side of you. Preferably, you should have your passenger side facing the island, so if someone dings you, you can notice right away and have your revenge on the side of their car. Another reason to park with the island to the passeger side is because if a car parks next to you, chances are they won't have a passenger in the car, and therefore will not be using the passenger door to hit your car. Park as close to the island as possible, because usually the space is oddly shaped and is sometimes larger than the regular spaces, which gives the other cars more room to move their doors. If you absolutely HAVE to park in a crowded lot, do your best to park next to four door cars. Their doors are smaller and don't reach as far as coupes. Another rule: Never park next to oversized cars like crown vics, the old impalas, caprices, lincolns, cadillacs ect. These cars are often driven by the elderly. Some old people dont have much strength and just tend to let their doors fly. Sometimes the wind will catch their doors and send them barreling into the car next to them. Try not to park next to jeep wranglers. They don't have any resistance to stop their doors (they are simply on a hinge). And last but not least. AVOID THE CITY!
