My Personal Rules for Ding Free Parking:

1) Park in an end spot (only one spot next to you) as far toward the back as possible. Position your Crossfire as far to the one side as possible to allow your door to open all the way.

2) If you cannot park on the end, try to park between two other German cars, or cars that are more expensive than yours (They care about dings more than you!)

3) The next best thing is to park next to a car that appears to be occupied by one driver and no passengers, and park on their right side, because they won't be opening their passenger side door. Position your Crossfire closer to the left side of the space to prevent getting dinged by the car on your right.

4) NEVER park next to a minivan (kids don't know any better), SUV, or pickup. Also, never park next to a beat-up crappy car. They obviously don't care about dings, so why should they care about dinging yours?

5) NEVER park your car at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Costco, or the grocery store! (Flying shopping carts, crazy drivers, and other flotsam and jetsam)If you don't have a second car, get one!
