One thing I've learned about parking far away from others is DON'T park under a tree. Even though it is far away, other people will park under the tree too for shade.

You never know, they may be a Camaro driver just driving their DD. I do this somwtimes to help out a fellow Camaro driver. I don't park anywhere that close though.

I get that...but Id rather be out there alone knowing my car has no possibility of being hit by a door. Door dings and curb rash are just 2 things I cant deal with. My top pet peeves right there, and car rattles. Haha!

It really is not that hard to park, so I don't really understand how so many people have so many issues with it

Close call OP, close call..
Glad your ride escaped!

I'm 98% sure that if she had a passenger in front, he/she would've tried to squeeze their way through, paying no attention to the door rubbing against yours

Glad your Camaro is okay, OP!

A note under her wiper and a flat would cure her.

Yup I totally agree with you. Lucky for me it didn't happen.

Makes me miss my dented, rusty 1987 Buick Regal.

It is the color. It attacts all sort of crazy.

OP, happens to me all the time. I have dozens of pictures of people parking too close to me.

I do two things to protect my car:

1. Park far away from the doors and park in the spot. For some reason parking at an angle seems to piss of Joe Six-Pack even if you are a million miles away from the door.

2. Look for a car at least as nice as mine and a couple of years old and park next to it. If it is a couple years old and still ding-less and clean you know the person takes care of it. I prefer Porsches and other Camaros. If I can get a spot with a curb on one side as well that's even better.

I hope that the person realizes that I parked next to them in an effort to protect their car as well as mine. Safety in numbers and all...
