Yes, use 2 parking spots whenever possible. I ALWAYS do this when I can. I know that people probably think that I'm just some ******* in a Mercedes, but who cares if you lose the risk of getting any dings! I have quite a few little dings.... only 1 is really apparent.. and then there are 7 or 8 really really small ones that can only be seen in certain light. And I noticed 2 dings on my hood the other day!!! My hood WAS FLAWLESS! ARGHH... My car was parked at a friend's house, and he was trying to get his garage door open to put my car in there next to his E430 (and his dad's ML55 and Brabus E320, with 300 HP! very cool guy!), anyway. They had just moved and one of the garage doors wasn't automatic, and my car was parked in front of it. He was tugging on it to open, and the door shot him back and he fell on the hood of my car. ARGH... I can't blame him though, you know? Accidents happen.
But G-benz, i know what you mean... very frustrating. And $65 for a ding is the going rate around here.. and the second ding removed is usually about $40.
