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 wink.gif

If you have more, let's hear them!

i double parked early one morning at a grocery store and a douche came and parked so close to my passenger side and it made me so mad cuz he did it just to be a jerk. There were so many more parking spots even closer to the store. So I made myself feel better by writing him a note and telling him he was a jerk lol. I understand that if double park near the doors and its busy but come on it was 7am and there was no one at the store and i wasnt even near the closest part to the store. errr

anyways i dont really watch my parking anymore. I tend to park further away though when the car is all shiny and clean.
