but the thing is when I always park in the back of everything, they always tend to park right next to me and stay in their car like they are watching me. its ridiculous, so I always take a picture of the two cars next to me license plate and wait...and yes it is a magnet for getting hit.

better safe then sorry, thats very smart.

i always try to park far away and next to a curb (to minimize people parking next to me ) they 'd have run aground to park on my left side lol

Been there done that and too many close calls than I can remember.

I now have piece of mind as a result of me parking alone next to the Helipad at work.

Worst case, a chopper will land on it, but im sure insurance covers that.

I honestly think it is simply bad luck with that car.
Same happened to me with my Altima coupe which made me trade it in for my Z. I had the car for 4 years would be 5 years this year sept. I had five car accidents with it. 4 of them in the EXACTLY same spot quarter panel driver side. And 2 of them was exactly a year apart from one another and just two blocks away from where the other one was. Mind you everytime I got hit I was NOT speeding and those accidents doesn't count scratches and dents from parking places. people that hit me with their doors and etc. well all of that made me just not love that car anymore and made me trade it in my car. I HOPE HOPE HOPE I don't have this bad luck with my Z now. I HOPE !!! Try parking away from everyone and paying for parking lots and all. That's what I have been doing with my Z

I'm just glad my girl is my weekend fun car. People don't care about other peoples property, in this economy most are hating even more than they normally do. All i can suggest is to be as cautious as possible if you have to park your Z, and enjoy her as much as you can.

Yes, people just like to hate because they don't have one or make enough money to get one, I know we don't have the most expensive car out there, but we appreciate our cars. Everytime I see a Z I always park next to it in courtesy of them knowing I won't hit them, its like mutual respect. If you see my NISMO please park behind me I don't want my exhaust getting banged up by some ******* who doesn't appreciate a nice car. I live in a gated community, and they all love my car, they actually save a parking spot just for my Z because they understand how much time I spend on her.

I wash her like twice a week to keep her clean, and they all want a ride in her. Its nice to see that there are some people out there that are nice, and others just hate because they are probably on welfare and think that we get this **** for free when we don't.

Am i the only one that always get nervous when parking outside of a convenient story or gas station? Like i will be inside of am/pm and i wouldnt stop thinking that some jerk will ding my doors.

I am not too concern about being hit cause my insurance will cover the repairs, but door dings are just...

People feel compelled to park as close as they possibly can.

I forget who's car this was but I never forgot these images.

IF I SAW THIS I WOULD GO APE SHI TTT!!!

Even if it wasn't my car! Who ever dose this kind of BS deserves to get smacked! Straight-up!

I definitely have separation anxiety but at least at work I have a normal usual spot with co-workers next to me.
