Rayme's parking tips
Maximize your chances

There's always ways to maximize your parking space to not get your car dinged, or minimize any sort of potential damage...of course you don't always get the choice of a space when you park, but keep those in mind:

1. Park the furthest away from the door
•There is less traffic as people try to park close the entrance so there is less change of people parking away.

2. Park near Sedans
•Their doors are shorter than coupes, less chance of accidental dings

3. Park on a car who's passenger side if facing you
•Chances are the car has no passenger, so no door opening on your car!

4. Park next to a new car / clean car
•The drivers will likely take more attention since it's his new prized possesion.

5. Backup in the parking!!!!
•If somebody accidently hit your car, its way easier and cheaper to replace a fender than repair a quarter panel. Not to mention you can probaby repair it at home if it's a lame hit and run.

6. Do not park near vans...kids sometime likes to lean and touch stuff like cars

7. Park against a pole or a cart storage space
•Nobody will park next to you

8. Try to shop at wierd hours when nobody is there

If you have more, let's hear them!

do not park near the pathway for people that do not drive!! even if it's far away... they will more than likely do sumthin since it is far away from everyone else and no1 will see

park in corner spots w/ the curb on ur side so ppl dun hit u

if there is a pole, park closer to the pole, since the person across the pole will most likely park further away and the person on ur other side w/o the pole will not be as close (unless they suck @ parking)

do not straighten out ur wheels. it gives the illusion that you are taking up more space than u r so ppl will park slightly further to prevent door dings

also, i alwas back in now.. but now i wonder if it really is cheaper to fix the front if they hit me really hard and screw up my turbo setup...

um... and parking further away does not help... someone ran a shopping cart into my civic when parked far away

and my celica had a huge dent in the fender (it was sooo close to my jdm lowbeams wif a custom tsx projector retrofit) when i parked it far away and near nice cars too (when i came out nobody was parked on the side that was hit)
