Does the 370Z scream "HIT ME" while parked?

Do like me, park away from everyone else or find a spot with a median/walk way on the right side. Leaves just the chance of only your driver's side door getting hit.

That's what I do. I also make sure to keep my car cleanly parked in one spot. It drives me nuts when I see some a-hole park diagonally taking up two spots, that's just asking for trouble.

OP, sorry to hear about your bad misfortunes.

Nothing wrong with this if you're parking at the very very back where no one else will park.

I think some people intentionally park their car using two spots to insure there is a larger space on each side of their car. I have been guilty of it on some occasions, but only because there aren't any good open spots.

But then again its better to park far away and have the peace of mind than park in a highly congested area and worry about your car being dinged. If all else fails use the double space method.

This doesn't always work. My Dad babies his car. He went to Walmart last week and parked it 25 spots away from the nearest car and as close as he could get to a curb. As he's coming out he sees some idiot do a donut in the parking lot and clip is front bumper. They stopped for a second and took off. The only way to 100% avoid dings is to leave your car in the garage. Which honestly I do most of the time specifically to avoid these things happening. But I still know it's only a matter of time before an idiot gets me, too.

Yes it screams hit me. While washing her this weekend, I noticed someone hit my passenger side with their door and left a pretty deep scratch. I park away from anyone when I can and try not to take her out too much.
