That sucks. It makes me sick to see that happen to anybody's car.

It looks like someone might have been "testing out" your suspension and worked it a little too hard. No excuse for ******* behavior, but it might not have been malicious -- just stupid and inconsiderate.

It's always walking a line to try to protect these cars in public. I got a couple of laughs from other Z drivers at the last Z club of Houston meeting trying to park defensively at the restaurant where we met. I chose a corner spot, but realized I couldn't really park defensively (taking only one space, but taking ALL of it) without blocking another space. I tried about three times to line it up just right, but no dice. Either some jerk would try to slide in the 3/4 space that was left, or key me to prove "how dare I love my car and want to keep it from being damaged".

I usually split the difference in big parking lots. I park far enough away so that no one will park next to me, but not so far away that I stand out. People can suck it.
