That's cool to hear Gene that his friends protect it for him. Very good friends to have.

I'm anal about mine in parking lots. I'll park it next to shrubbery on one side so that side is protected, and park as close to 45 degrees as I can get, so the doors can't hit me the other side.

Also I tend to park at the farthest away from the entrance I can get. Usually not many cars there, people are too lazy to walk.

It keeps down the dings.
