If they are too scared to park like a proper human being then maybe they shouldn't be parking in a parking lot, or they should buy a car they aren't so afraid to put in harms way.

LOL easy to say, none of us owns a Ferrari. If people already mess up with your Z; how bad do you think that would be for a car costing as much as a house in the Northeast? I had my old 300ZX keyed deep 12 inches barely into a few weeks of ownership. I have seen guys in beatup cars driving in parking lots and looking for the nicest cars just to try to dent them with the rusted junks (why??). If I had a car like that (Personally speaking, I know I never would even if I could afford it, I'm not the kind to blow that much money on anything that's neither an investment nor gains any value) I will do what needs to be done to protect from jealous/lousy drivers... That's just my opinion.

Your views would be different if you had one

Of course it's easy for me to say! Because I'm not an a$$hole that would park like that. Even if i had a car that cost that much i still would not park that way.

I'm pretty sure if i could afford that car, I could afford a really nice beater car, like a 370, hahahah. Or if i had to park my expensive car in a lot, I'd try to find the best single spot like an end space so one one car is next to me. I'm just not that rude of a person.

Yeah, but if the point is to avoid any potential damage you would think you would try and draw at least fractionally less attention by parking properly. I'm sorry, but the car stands out much more if it is parked like the owner is the king of the land. That says look at me, I think I am better than anyone which is much more likely to be met with acts of automotive violence.

I maintain: park further away or do not park at all, don't park like you are entitled to special privileges as nice car or poor car, neither give you any.
