Door dings! People are idiots.

I have a tip to add to the pile. Try to line up your side mirror with where you think their door might impact. This will serve as a reminder to them since it will hit closer to their window and serve as a barrier between them and your precious aluminum doors. The Z is short enough to allow a lot of flexibility on this one.

I also always look for spots where I can park and only one car will park next to me. This strategy coupled with the mirror barrier tactic has served me well for nearly 5 years now with my Z (knocks on wood...)

I got a tip for you. Try not parking next to a performance car that he or she has parked out of the way to avoid folks like you.

My words didnt come out right, no hate honestly. Was supposed to be in jest.

Back on topic, I went out today, parked my car away from others on two seperate occassions a shitty car or truck parked right next to mine. Never had this issue with my previous car. 370z must be a **** magnet.?
