The amount of times I go back to my car at the end of the day (work) to see both sides of my car dinged and scratched I completely understand wanting to park in a spot that prevents this.
Went to the super last night and came back to some rat faced maggot kid swinging on his open door next to my car, door was cm's from my door, luckily I had parked far enough away that it didn't reach. God knows where the oxygen thief of a mother/father was.
