Parking at an angle in a parking lot

FTR, I know how obsessive some folks are about their vehicles, and I do understand that. No one likes to have their property damaged by someone who is simply careless.
I hate door dings too. BUT if we park our S in a parking lot, we know we increase the odds of getting a door ding. While we ARE picky about where we park, if we only take the S out to places where we are guaranteed not to get a door ding, we'd never go anywhere.

LOL I was just telling the mushroom burger story to someone the other day. I don't think I'll be getting out of Vt for quite awhile I have leaf peepers coming up to visit and then winter will be upon me.

Well keep us in mind. We never made it to VT this year. Too many work/family obligations lately.

I missed seeing you guys. I think this was the first summer in the last couple of years that we didn't get together here in Vt.
We had a few days off the week before last and hit ME and NH. I can hijack my own thread, right?
Here's a slide show of pics in that area. Some great roads in the Rangely Lake area.

BUT, we've done the roads of VT several times, and it was time for a change.
However, we did have pulled pork once in ME and once in NH, it was just OK, no where near as good as the one in Killington!

Parking Criteria
1. I don't park next to 2 door cars. Their doors are longer.....
2. Avoid Wagons and Minivans---kids are sometimes careless opening the door, door need to opened wide for baby seats etc.
3. Avoind parking next to Sh1t boxes.....they don't care about their car...they are not caring about mine.
4. I used to avoid the shopping cart holder in the parking lot, but my new theory is that people will use the holder if they are close to it, therefore, less random carts around my car.

Yeah, we got too close to a parking cart return thing....and ended up with a new ding.
Now we either park a good distance away, and also try for those end spots as well.

Same here...far away, end spot and uphill from the natural progression
of runaway shopping carts. If you have to park downhill, make sure
there is an island that would impede the progress of said carts.
