I should have made my description more accurate. My phobia is parking next to neglected Kia's /Hyundai's that are less than 10 years old where the driver appears to hit something on an almost daily basis. Random dents everywhere, gouges up the side, smoking at idle, and a donut spare with threads showing on 2 out of the 3 normal tires is what I'm picturing. These are ridiculously common in a college parking lot; uncompleted ricer projects usually look about the same, which I hold in the same esteem.

More succinctly, I'm scared to death of my car getting hit by some absent minded a$#%^& that takes no pride in his own vehicle and wouldn't think twice to drive off after plowing his s#^box in to my poor, unattended car.

As careful as I am, this has happened to ALL 3 of my cars! One was a little old lady who owned up to a $1,200 bill on my SL. Another was a horrendous ding on my X5 that was fortunately repaired by PDR. Even my diesel had its bumper trim cracked a few months ago by some idiot.
