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...)
