tricks to avoiding door dings without having to park like that.
1. park next to an island or at the end of a row so no one can be next to you
2. park next to the handy capable spot, same reason as above
3. park at the back fo the lot
4. park next to something expensive, if they spent a ton of loot on their ride odds are that they will be more careful wwith the doors
5. if you have to park next to one car, try to park on their passenger side. most of the time when people are out driving they are by themselves so you are reducing your odds of a door ding.
6. park next to 4 door cars, especially if you can find a compact. they have smaller doors that don't reach out as far to cause damage to yours
