Default Sign of a non-enthusiast owner?

At my local leisure centre I have twice spotted two different S2000's recently, but they are parked right in the middle of the car park in tightish spaces. The car park is really big, so if they would be prepared to walk a measly half a minute longer they could park their cars right out of the way and avoid the threat of parking dings.

You wouldn't see mine right in the middle like that - I always park away from the danger of parking dents wherever possible (or a nice "end" space, else I usually take up two spaces otherwise ) !

I've caught myself parking away from other cars so often...or, if you have to park between two cars, make sure that they are

Son's football practice yesterday evening was interesting. Car park behind goal end and lots of enthusiastic 10 year olds!

Mine was well out of the way!

Expensive cars are often the worst for door bashing...

I dont really care, they will find you anyway.

I prefer to park in spaces at the end of a row though, as close to the kerb as possible

i prefer end of row next to a well kept car with passenger door facing mine as most cars only have the driver and no passengers.. then make sure you get in and out quick.
